David Beckham: From Hero to Zero

Not exactly horrible, although that is the harsh analysis of David Beckham of Bayern's performance this month. Well, to be fair, it is pretty horrible for a team targeting the Bundesliga.

FC Bayern Munich Player of the Month

Doria has been fantastic at the back and has even duly won his first Brazil cap this month. He has proved critics wrong with his rock solid performances and will look to establish his name permanently in the Bayern starting eleven.

Player Worthy of a Mention

Young 19-year-old Johannes Brunner was excellent in the match against Mainz, setting up 2 goals and then scoring a blinder himself to win the Man of the Match award. He followed this up with a great performance against Hannover although his side lost 2-1 and will look to continue delivering performances like these to push for a place in the first team.

A tough Champions League draw but I think you'll be okay. Tough start to life in Bundesliga but I'm sure you'll be able to turn it around and get the wins

Thanks Krupesh

David Beckham has picked his squad for his first competitive games as England manager against Wales and Northern Ireland - qualifying matches for Euro 2020.

Bayern Munich's Jack Grealish earns a recall to the team while Cardiff captain Jordon Mutch also returns to the national team with his impressive form for the Bluebirds so far in the Championship.

Players like John Ruddy and Jack Cork from the previous England squad have now been forced to make way, with Alex Smithies, Ryan Bennett and Daniel Sturridge linking up with Beckham's team after their brilliant starts to the season with their respective clubs.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest striker Colin Maddison continues to hang on to his place in the team, after scoring 3 goals in 5 appearances for his side so far in the Championship.

Alex Smithies is horrible in all my saves :p but then you're playing against Wales and Morthern Ireland so you don't exactly need your best players :p That is a strong squad though imo

Well, Smithies is third choice after all...

Wish in my save that smithies was even that. Well in my burnley save he is out on loan at tottenham as I had won the league playing Tim Howard and I then sold Jason Steele. I also have two regens who are awesome in Hermes and Henry Booker. But, you have hart and forster they are quite good, and I have for Burnley Ter Stegen.

Ter Stegen for Burnley? That's incredible!

Die Bayern have shown how much they want it as they breeze the month with zero losses in the Bundesliga, and close the gap between themselves and current league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. A tough loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League really dampened morale but a 1-0 win against CFR Cluj kept them in the running for qualification to the knockout rounds.

FC Bayern Munich Player of the Month

The man has to be Ademilson, who has took this season's goal tally to 10 goals in 9 Bundesliga appearances. He is on course for the Bundesliga Golden Boot and has been repaying David Beckham for the 48 million paid for his services. He has to continue to be vital if Bayern wants to stand any chance of reclaiming the Bundesliga.

Player Worthy of a Mention

Gaston Ramirez scored two wonderful goals this month including a fantastic dribbling goal against Ingolstadt where he darted past four defenders before placing the ball into the net, a wonderful finish.

A better month there Glenn great update! Ademilson really is firing them home for you and will keep doing so

2013-05-25 11:33#104692 k1rups : A better month there Glenn great update! Ademilson really is firing them home for you and will keep doing so

Yes, he will. He's on course to be a Bayern legend!

Great month there Glenn (or should I say David). great update as always and a good squad picked for the couple of upcoming matches with northern Ireland and Wales. keep it up

England enjoyed 2 wins and 2 draws in Beckham's first four games in charge. No losses yet, and Beckham intends to keep it that way. The draw against Northern Ireland is potentially damaging but if all goes well, the Three Lions will continue to be on course for the European Championships.
