Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Glad werner scored, building a nucleus of fantastic forwards

 

Ha ha ha ha

 

I do agree this is a chemistry building exercise, I feel we need more steel on the defensive side, otherwise were a fast counter away from being done again

 

Well when you look back to 2006-2011 basically non of our CBs did inspire confidence. This changed when Hummels and Boateng took over. Before that we had Lahm but the rest was a mess. Friedrich, Mertesacker, Metzelder dont you remember?

 

It's not just center backs it's the midfield also, we lack physicality and leaders, I reckon sule is top class

 

Dont tell me those folks made you feel confident

 

Gnabry has no physicality?

 

Were Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldo, Villa, Fabregas complete forwards with aerial ability? Maybe not

 

Italy with Roberto Baggio and Massaro got them to WC final too

 

So for me the big difference from WC2018 and last night was that yes Germany also played against South Korea with 10 men parked at the back and 70% ball possession, but the big difference was the speed at which Germany played and the one touch passing and in very tight spaces.... that was lacking at the WC. At the WC the played a slow passing game and yesterday it really felt they played faster... yes It is only Estonia but still like the speed and agility they had last night... kudos to them....

Lets see how they Perform against better team like Holland and N Ireland

 

I agree the team moved the ball quicker, maybe something to do with Kroos' absence.

The team does need some more steel/physicality for when things get tough, another 2 or 3 players like Sule would be good. The guys a monster.

 

Agree, the offensive side of the team looks excellent, but against better opposition we need to be more steely
