Bayern Munich's first-half performance against Bochum suggested they did not want to be there, according to Manuel Neuer.
Manuel Neuer was left wondering whether Bayern Munich really wanted to advance in the DFB-Pokal following Tuesday's narrow victory at second-tier Bochum.
"The way we played in the first half was really sad and disappointing," Neuer said.
"I don't know the reason, whether we were not there in our heads or we just didn't want to qualify. That's what it looked like anyway.
"It's important that everyone starts with themselves. We don't need to talk about individual players or the system or the coach.
"It's important for us as professionals to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror."
The victory was Bayern's third on the bounce in all competitions but continued a series of below-par showings against modest opposition.
"I think we need to get the fun back," he said after the second-round win over his former club.
"I talked about this in the dressing room. It was a night game and we should just go out and have fun. But that was missing.
"For sure it was a weak performance. I can't really remember any chances. It was a bad game from us."
