They like to see themselves as a more demanding crowd, fans of humbler teams tend to see it as a shitty attitude.

I can't speak for any league outside the Prem but yes, fans of top teams like MU, Chelsea, etc, are more critical, but even they seem to accept that upsets aren't that unusual, so long as they don't suggest a deeper decline.
Reading the articles Symbols linked, they just seem to reflect an obsession with Pep: over-scrutinising his every move. Bayern came unstuck against a very good Real side last season. Not making excuses for it but it happens. Same with their loss this season to Wolfsburg. Yes, Pep's system leaves them vulnerable to certain kinds of opponents but 90% of the time he still gets a result.
Every fan wants their team to be the best they can be but reading some Bayern fans online, they talk as though each game is almost an inconvenience, to be won and gotten out the way in order for them to simply move onto the next victory. Fortunately for them that's usually how it goes (especially in the Bundesliga) but it does seem to mean that any rare but inevitable blips that occurs along the way get blown out of all proportion.
Anyway, Bayern fans might have to just accept Pep's eccentricities cos he may be there for some time:
