Rummenigge: Bayern's latest draw was 'unacceptable'

Berlin - Bayern Munich's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge described the club's 2-2 draw at ten-man Eintracht Frankfurt as "unacceptable" after the result left the German league leader winless in its last three games.

Bayern hosts PSV Eindhoven in a key European match on Wednesday needing a win following last month's 1-0 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid and a 1-1 draw with Cologne a fortnight ago in the Bundesliga.

Having won the German league title for each of the last four seasons, Bayern has set high standards, and Rummenigge was unimpressed with the lacklustre first-half display at Eintracht on Saturday.

Bayern had 62 percent possession - the club's lowest in ten games so far this season - and rode its luck, especially in the first-half, at Eintracht.

"That wasn't Bayern Munich in the first-half, we can't play like that," fumed Rummenigge.

"It was unacceptable, we have to go out on the pitch with a different attitude.

"You have to stick the finger in the wound, every now and then.

"We must be satisfied that we took a point even after we played like that in the first half."

"We have to show a different attitude on Wednesday or we will have problems."

The last three weeks have seen a nose dive in the team's fortunes, but Rummenigge refused to blame manager Carlo Ancelotti for the dip.

"It has nothing to do with it, we have a lot of players who are injured, but we have such a broad, high-quality squad," he said.

"So we do not have to apologise and look for the bug in the system.

"The best thing about the situation is that nothing has happened in the table," he added.

Bayern holds a two-point lead over second-placed Cologne.
