German National Team News & Discussion Thread - EURO 2012 & Beyond [R] II

Just thinking Khedira playing the role of a 6 shared with lahm and taking on fb duties. Remember Khedira playing as a fb in one of the tournaments games for the last 20 minutes or so. Can't remember what game it was.

 

Playing for a short amount of time is totally different than starting there. I don't think his game is such where he can. I mean he is disciplined but Grosskreutz is a superior option and it would limit what Khedira is really good at.

 

Gomez & Klose both out for WC?

 

May 13th Germany will have a friendly match VS Poland

Interesting thing is DFB Pokal Finale is on 17th May. So players from Dortmund and Bayern Munich will not participate in that friendly match

Who's left for that friendly? We are still experimenting many tactics n options(Grosskreutz, Durm, False9...) It certainly isn't helping

Some injuries issue as well


My squad:

GK) ter Stegen, Adler

DF) Jung, Marcell Jansen, Beck, Mertesacker, Howedes, Ginter, Mustafi

MF) Lars Bender, Khedira, Oezil, Hahn, Herrmann(?), Neustaedter, Draxler, Schuerrle

FW) Gomez, Volland/Lasogga(Back yet?)

 

Oops, HSV may be playing in the relegation playoff; Schuerrle also won't be available if Chelsea make it to the CL final.


GK) ter Stegen, Zieler

DF) Jung, Beck, Ostrzolek, Ginter, Mertesacker, Mustafi, Howedes

MF) Khedira, Lars Bender, Neustaedter, Hahn, Oezil, Schuerrle(CL Final?), Draxler, Podolski, Sam

FW) Kruse, Volland, Gomez

 

Mertesacker, Podolski and Özil are out because of the FA Cup Final - and Khedira, Gomez and Klose are out because of the last matchday in Spain and Italy...

So of your suggestions only the following are left:

GK) ter Stegen, Zieler

DF) Jung, Beck, Ostrzolek, Ginter, Mustafi, Howedes

MF) Lars Bender, Neustaedter, Hahn, Schuerrle(CL Final?), Draxler, Sam

FW) Kruse, Volland

 

sport1.de claimed Jantschke, Ostrzolek and Hermann also have their chances. As well as Max Meyer, Goretzka, Knoche, Timo Werner and Volland.

That will be insane

 

Not very aware. Really didn't pay attention to this player.

 

I'm in Los Angeles and will be traveling solo to the World Cup for all three USA games. I am looking for 1 (any level) USA v Germany.

If you can help, let me know! valerian253 [at] gmail [dot] com

 

Reus is in an unbelievable form. 8 goals and 5 assists in his last 7 games.

 

My friends ... the issue on the CF, striker or even "False 9" in Die Mannschaft has a solution ... and are just two words: MARCO REUS.

Neither more nor less.

 

My concern with our NT playing Lahm at DM, is like what we saw from Bayern todays game

Rafinha exposed too much space at RB n clearly the weakest link and gave up too much possession to Crstiano Ronaldo.

I am not saying Grosskreutz is worse than Rafinha but i think in our case, we need Lahm at the fullback.

 

This was like a non-story so you're reaching completely.

 

Yup.

I'm ready to ditch this board btw. It got insane very quickly. There are maybe two or three posters worth talking to.

 

At least the Lahm at DM thing is not as invincible as some may have thought.

fullbacks are still important for certain roles in defense.

And i found it interesting that @SirManchester thinks Durm n Grosskreutz are good enough to start for NT in World Cup while Kiessling is "not NT material"

 

I enjoy all posts pity you guys all get so personal about it.. Cheers Sir Manchester (find your last post very arrogant)

 

Nothing wrong with his comment! Thats his point of view and I agree damn you guys can get bitchy
