Lewandowski slams Bayern Munich boss Kovac's tactics after Liverpool hammering

Bayern were outclassed by the Premier League title hopefuls as they were sent packing from European competition with a 3-1 home defeat.

And star striker Lewandowski has not held back in his criticism of the negative approach employed by his side against Jurgen Klopp's mean.

He told Viasport: "Of course, we knew it would be a tough game.

"But in both games I think we played too defensive.

"We didn’t try to push forward to create situations – in the first game and today.

"We didn’t risk much, we were playing at home it was our game but that’s why I think Liverpool beat us.

"We were playing too deep, we didn’t take risks, I don’t know why.

"We tried to push Liverpool but offensively sometimes it was two against four players and that’s why we didn’t do much. ‘

"I have a lot of duels today, it was very difficult because I was alone.

"If you are alone against two or three good players it’s very difficult to play."

The manner of the defeat on Wednesday night has led to huge criticism in Germany about the way their biggest club had performed.

Franck Ribery started for the German giants, but the Frenchman looks past his best.

And it also throws into doubt the long-term futures of several big-name players at Bayern with Manuel Neuer and Mats Hummels looking poor while James Rodriguez was also below par.

Arjen Robben is following Ribery out of the exit door, six years after the pair won the Champions League together.
