BTW, I like the Bundesliga this season, the competition looks tighter and every team is showing significant improvement.

That's how it is, and I remember very well when before many people said that the Bundesliga was getting boring, that it was very bad, that it was always Bayern, but it was not very well understood that things happened that way with that team because they were the best at that moment and that was why they won, of course then Dortmund's recovery, then Leverkusen was something that changed everything, so on a personal level things are different now, the Bundesliga already has many teams that already have the potential to win the Bundesliga, Bayern can't afford to be careless now , neither Leverkusen nor anyone else, things are better now.

The story of the times when Bayern so dominant is over, it is all clear in the table, the points gap between the top five is very tight.

Over the years, the Bundesliga has polished many talented players to maturity, from homegrown talents like Julian Brandt, Timo Werner, and Kai Havertz to imported talents like Christian Pulisic and Erling Haaland
And in the next few years, the Bundesliga may be able to shift the position of the Premier League as the most popular football competition in the world.

I don't think that Bayern dominant is over because they still remain the favorite to win the league. The season is still early, and we shouldn't go into conclusion because some of these clubs might not be able to keep their consistency till the end of the season. Bundesliga will become very interesting in upcoming season because other clubs are eager to win the league like Leverkusen did last season.

Some say that Leverkusen absolutely need to win their next game against Frankfurt, but I don't think it will be a deciding one. It will still be a good test for Leverkusen to prove if they should be considered to be a serious contender in the race for the title.
But to be fair to them, Leverkusen does not play that badly at all this season, it's more that the luck was just not on their side in matches against Leipzig and Holstein-Kiel. They absolutely dominated in both of those games, but their opponents were surprisingly successful in converting the little chances they had into goals. If not for those 2 flops, Bayer would be now at the top with 16 points.

Not a decisive match but a win will make them more trusted to be able to defend the title this season. Their opponent has the status of a team that can be a threat, so a win would be very meaningful.

There has been a decline shown by Leverkusen this season, this is normal for a team. However, I still believe that Xabi Alonso will be able to bring them even better as the league progresses. The competition looks more interesting in the Bundesliga this season.

Bundesliga has become very interesting since last season when everything changed, Bayern Leverkusen were the one that broke that deadlock that has been in that league. Borussia Dortmund was the team we were mostly expecting for them to make a change by winning the Bundesliga title and get the trophy from Bayern Munich. So even when Bayern Leverkusen win the title, no one expected them to go through like that, many teams most have underrated them and they were able to prove them wrong all. I have this likeness for Bundesliga now as we have many teams currently that are just performing very well in their respective games and making the league more tougher. It is not easy to say a team will win over the other one because they’re all showing good performance this season. We have about 4-5 teams now in the Bundesliga that are now potential league winners.

I do not consider Leverkusen to be one of the Bundesliga contenders this season. Although they still play as they used to last season, luck is not on their side as it was last season, and Bayern, as a matter of fact, are even better this season than they were under Tuchel. I do not think any team will be able to stop Bayern Munich from winning the Bundesliga this time.

Dortmund open up this Bundesliga GW with a win over St. Pauli. Not unexpected, but it is expected they keep winning if they want to remain in the top four.

Bayern Munich and Leipzig look like the strongest candidates for the champion this season. However, I think we can't exclude Leverkusen and other teams to be the candidate of the champion in Bundesliga. The season is still in the beginning, there are too many remaining matches. It is not impossible that Bayern Munich and Leipzig to lose points in the next few matches. Sometimes there is a big change in the middle of the season.

Anyway, there is nothing to do with Tuchel. He isn't Bayern Munich coach anymore. 

Dortmund open up this Bundesliga GW with a win over St. Pauli. Not unexpected, but it is expected they keep winning if they want to remain in the top four.

Dortmund looks improving their performance and try to play more consistent. I am sure Dortmund will return to the top 4 (UCL zone). Dortmund got 2 unexpected losses so far. I think this won't happen again in the next few matches.

Bayern Munich was able to dismantle Stuttgart defense in the second half and they scored four goals to end the match. It was a terrible day for Stuttgart as they were humiliated without reserve on a clean sheet. I didn't expect much goals in this match from Bayern Munich because the first half ended in a goalless draw. Bayern continues topping the table with their outstanding performance this season. Kompany is a good coach and will bring the title back to Allianz Arena.

Kane really found a second home in Bayern didn't he? Scoring a hat-trick against a decent team in Stuttgart is no easy feat. It's interesting how the table has turned out after seven weeks with the top four only separated by one game but there's a massive difference in goals.

Harry Kane's new home has been found here, he has already started scoring goals in the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart why not in the second half with 4 goals that is the number of goals and indeed the opponent was humiliated by the host.
I think with this victory Bayern Munich is ready to fight Barcelona.

Yes. They are still the favorites, and Bayern Munich is still strong, but this season Bayern must be ready to face a tougher challenge and consistency not only for other clubs but also for Bayern, If Kompany is not careful, last season will repeat.
The Bundesliga teams are now filled with many good teams and the competition is more difficult to predict.
And yeah this is not a bad thing, the Bundesliga finally looks more interesting.
Too much dominance from one club will make the competition uninteresting.

[pawel7777]

No surprises in this round so far.

I was wrong to think Stuttgart would put up a good fight against Bayern. They were absolutely demolished in the second half, losing 4-0, with Kane scoring a hat trick. What's worse, Stuttgart's possession was only 34%, and they only made one shot on target (and four shots total). That's a clear sign they will not repeat the last season success when they finished in the 2nd spot.

Good performance by Leverkusen against strong Eintracht, who were placed 3rd before this round. They've won 2-1 despite a missed penalty and were clearly a dominating side. Bayer have now jumped into the 4th place and are 3 points behind Bayern.

Indeed, Bayern Munich is still one of the unbeatable teams in the Bundesliga right now, but this season has raised the stakes a little bit. The other teams are also improving and only maintaining the result a constant factor for any team including Bayern. Tactful as it was handling them, sometimes Kompany or any other manager, there is always the danger of last season imitation. It is good to see new strong teams appearing in the Bundesliga and all this makes the competition more interesting. It also knows that dominance within a league by one club for a longtime feels repetitive, thus more competition is the best thing to create more fun for the fans in football.

A fair defeat and a clear mistake for Stuttgart. On the other hand, Bayern is very impressive
Kane's prime loading...  he is making it look too easy, he's coming for the crown!
And a big win for the head coach. Now to Barcelona and, as always, visit the place...

Well done, Xabi... Leverkusen is still on track
Three points, Robert Andrich and Victor Boniface got the job done.
It is time to rest and prepare for the Champions League but tell Boniface that he must be in there, He is always making the fans proud.
