Kroos on. Interesting. 4-3-3 or same old with Podolski up top? 4-3-3 would be idea. Kroos can inhabit central deep position Oezil did with the latter pushing up.
Would love to see Gündogan next to Schweini. It's ridiculous to see Khedira being given the license to push forward which doesn't suite his strengths and leaves the rest of the team unbalanced.
So we have no target man, and what do our attacks look like? Overlapping wing play and crosses into the box.
It does suit Khedira to push forward. Why on earth would you want Gundogan next to Schweinsteiger? They're both retainers and Gundogan is not a screener by any means. With Khedira we at least have his work-rate. Neither dual partnership is ideal to our team's strengths at the moment.
I don't expect us to perfect the formation after so little time playing it. Keep in mind, none of these players play a 4-3-3 for their clubs so this is something new entirely.
It looks like the players aren't sure what formation they are supposed to be playing when in possession of the ball. Everyone looks confused.
Right. Movement is better though. Marginally. If we can connect more and form that understanding, it's hopeful to see.
