    "we did not create any chances
    left side we had many crosses but nothing came out of them
    upfront we couldnt hold the balls
    defense was decent except two lucky situations
    hard to estimate where we are compared to others"

    90% of those who have been watching saw all the signs that change was needed, so this was predictable.

    But also predictable is Löw's "wait until it breaks" philosophy.

    Good that Germany kept a clean sheet.

    Hopefully Löw realizes now that Götze is not a viable striker, and players like Özil need a real forward to pull defenders off of them.

    Also, if he plays with Müller AND Gomez up top, why invert Schürrle and leave Özil in the middle until the last minute? 2 strikers in the middle = give them some balls into the box! Gomez is not going to be the guy to play 1-2 tikitaka.

    Come on. A 4-0 opening win against Portugal. Fighting from a goal down to get a draw vs Ghana.

    This side has been very unimpressive thus far. Nothing to brag about after 2 games except for individual performances. Too much possession and not much to show for it. If someone were to compile data-> possession : attempts at goal, Germany would be one of the worst teams in that metric.

    This is what is so frustrating.

    When the game got into counter / counter and ozil is on the ball in space, there is no one to play the ball through to because they are too slow to get through the defence.

    So it goes always left.

    The right is an abortion because Hoewedes

    "we didnt manage to control the game
    when we played forward we lost the balls easily
    then Poland gave us difficult situations
    we are not satisfied
    we need more attempts and precision
    I realized in the last minutes Ive lost ryhthm through to injury"

    The positive is that Loew has the defence better - but the attack is not good.

    Howedes is garbage on the right.

    No pace with Gotze.

    I still think they should move Ozil as the only pacey winger, add a 3rd CM and play Mueller as false 9

    Also with no Reus there is just no shooting in this team

    well we were winning against Portugal 2-0 (including a penalty goal) and then Pepe got red carded so we scored 2 against 10 man Portugal. If they had stayed 11 who knows what could have happened. So it's hard to compare the 2.

    If Höwedes reacts faster after the Özil Müller play and delivers the assist then he's the hero.

    Yeah - but the problem is he is not very good on the ball.

    Lets not pretend there is going to be attacking genius from the right

    The Poles were so much louder than us. So many ********ing tourist fans wearing the Germany jersey but not knowing a single chant and sitting quietly in their seat

    I think we all agree on that. But for that he is so shit at this position - he did well. Meanwhile Müller on HIS position on the right underperformed the 2nd game in row now

    worst thing about this game is that Khedira, Ozil and Boateng all got booked, so they should be careful for the next 3 games, since yellow cards get erased after Quarters.

    Hopefully this is the last time Löw plays the fat slob as a striker. Germany's attack improved with Schürrle and Gomez.

    If I had taken the corners like Özil when I was young, I had stopped playing with 14

    Eh... Very similar performance to Ukraine, only a bit more defensively solid and without the set-piece goal. It wasn't impressive, but it wasn't terrible either. We lack pace and athleticism in attack, which is problematic, but we knew that before we played. Poland was very solid on defence and is relatively proficient on the counter. Goetze was awful, I'm not sure how long we can continue to start him.
