The up and down form left the Bavarian side third in the Bundesliga table behind Union Berlin and Freiburg after six games.

Nageslmann slammed his players after their most recent game singling out three specifically.

He said: “The aggressiveness in possession was a bit lacking, a tad too much control, a bit too little risk and greed to go forward. 

‘But we still had three huge chances where you have to score a third goal – with Serge [Gnabry], Leroy [Sane] and Jamal [Musiala].”

German outlet BILD claim that the 35-year-old manager’s choice not to aim criticism towards his own tactical choices have angered some members of the Bayern team.

Reports suggest some players think Nageslmann should take more responsibility.

Thomas Muller spoke after the draw saying: “I’m angry. Mad at ourselves. We have to look at ourselves. And every single one of them.”

Nageslmann has a squad of elite players and must try to keep them all happy making six changes to the team from the previous week.

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic stated: “I said to the coach ‘It’s more important to me that we’d rather draw once more than that we have too many dissatisfied players.’

“Of course Julian is finding his style. This is also a learning process. He hasn’t had a squad like that either.”
