Niko Kovac has cited Bayern Munich's failure to play as a team as the reason for their shock 3-0 home defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
After winning his first seven matches in charge of the club, Kovac has now failed to guide his side to victory in three domestic games on the spin – a run that leaves them four points behind early Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Kovac's men looked sluggish from the outset and found themselves two down after just 16 minutes, Alassane Plea and Lars Stindl – making his first appearance of the season – finishing emphatically past Manuel Neuer.
