Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti has launched a scathing attack against his players after his sidethrew away a 2-1 lead to draw with10-man Eintract Frankfurt.


Following five straight wins at the start of the Bundesliga campaign, Bayern have started to lose pace, remaining winless for three games following the draw in Frankfurt.

Arjen Robben andJoshua Kimmich scored for the visitors, but their lead was pegged back twice, prompting Ancelotti to express his anger at his side.


"It's not difficult to give an opinion about this game," he said, as quoted in the Mirror.


"We didn't play well, we didn't show a good attitude, we played against a side that were more aggressive with a different attitude.


"We slept for almost all the first 45 minutes. The second half was a little bit better, but in the end it's the right result for both teams.

"We have slept for 45 minutes in every game this season and that's too much. Maybe you can lose concentration for 10 minutes in a game -- but 45 minutes is too long.


"I'm not angry when my team doesn't play well. There's only one thing that makes me angry, that's when the attitude of my players is wrong.


"I have to make changes because I don't want my team to have this kind of attitude."


Despite failing to win in their last three fixtures Bayern still occupy top-spot in the Bundesliga, but only by two points as the unbeatenFC Cologne continued their unbeaten start to the season by beatingIngolstadt 2-1 on Saturday.
