Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

higher goal % than Klose n Mario Gomez , both are true 9?
Gnabry as false 9 works for us because he is a scorer

He is still young, just 24. Maybe at 25 will be his first tourney. Still not bad

 

Yes but false 9 doesn't work for everyone, I do agree ganebry is class apart and hes as good as any forward in Europe

 

Well as said our midfield and attack is on great form and with reus , havertz , sane and if by a fat chance muller still to return we are okay ...

Our Defense was not really tested , but Can did just knock over anyone close to him and we haven’t played against stronger competition with our new Defense .

I think hector played well ...

 

Those a great stats ... he really has developed into a great player this year

 

if you are as good as Messi, Mane, Hazard, Lautaro or Cristiano. U can play all three attacking positions ... not a problem

I think Gnabry is one of the top 10 attackers in the world right now. Better than Sterling because Gnabry is more technical in terms of finishing.

Gnabry as false 9 works better when there is a physical presence like Goretzka beside him.

The front three can be interchanging , Goretzka brings some other elements to our game. Think Goretzka is the real catalyst

 

Yes, I think havertz has more potential than goretzka in that position, but goretzka never let's loew down

 

I think it’s quite clear after this game that Tah needs to be dropped and Can on the bench or play in the midfield

 

Goretzka is a catalyst to the team’s attack, especially when he gets into the box

he brings certain attributes to the attack, much like what a traditional 9 can bring

Can be a short term solution


Douchebag we can bring another destroyer type in Demme or slightly more elegant choice in Geiger

 

Goretzka will be used as a Thomas Müller role

and it’s becoming more apparent since 2018

He’s seen as an attacker more than midfielder in NT.

Loew prefers his midfielders to be better with the ball n somewhat creative. And Goretzka is not good at counter pressing n leaves too much space when he goes forward n attack. So he’s better off playing as attacker than at midfield

He brings some nice attributes as a front 3 in a fluid, interchanging system. And utilises his strengths in scoring n winning aerial duels.

When we are in full strength, I expect a front 3 with Goretzka, Gnabry and Sané.

don’t think Reus should start for the NT now , more like impact sub; Timo Werner and Brandt should be able to handle that role as well

not sure how Loew rates Havertz, where is Loew going to play him?

 

Yes good points, my front 3 would be sane ganebry goretzka also, question marks remain over sane, how he come back from a serious injury, also Kai could easily replace grotezka

 

Agree, tah is a walking disaster as a defender, can definitely needs to be deployed in midfield as he offers steel, but has Hugh dicipline issues

 

So next games in March we already have Spain , loew says he hopes he can still get Portugal or Belgium.
We haven't Played Belgium for a while and in our last 15 matches we won 14 and drew one game against them. That might though change next time around.....
I would love to see us play Belgium.

 

30 November - Draw for euros ....

 

Honestly why would we care? Euro wont get interesting before the quarters anyway.

3 home games in Munich is all that matters for now

 

Yesterday was the best performance we've had in a very long time. We started very well and even when we conceded the goal (against the run of play) we did not panic and were unlucky not to equalize quickly. This was a dominant performance. I really like the Kroos, Gundogan & Kimmish midfield. Goretzka was/is a beast and Klosterman was great. Looking like 2 out of 3 (or even 3 out 3) will most likely not be starters - Reus, Werner and Sane! Great options to have in the 2nd half. Great turnaround from the WC and Nations Cup disasters.

 

NI had 4 or 5 starters missing. Just saying

 

Yes, we don't doubt the quality this team has going forward. I don't think I'm exaggerating if I claim that Germany's arguably got the most talent going forward in Europe at the moment. The big worry is the mess of a defense though...

I mean, with Kimmich you've got a great 6 so if he's healthy and fit, he'll play that position, but are Kroos and Gundogan the answer when Germany will face tougher opposition than Belarus and Northern Ireland? Well, I have my doubts about their defensive work if I'm honest...

And with Hector performing great yesterday, will Löw bring him to the Euro's next year, although in theory, he should not as he's banned Hummels from the NT because he wants "to give the younger players a chance", which makes it even more ironic to see the random inclusion of Sebastian Rudy in the squad for the latest games

To be honest, there's no reason for having Schulz, Halsternberg, and Hector in the same squad for the Euro 2020. At the same time, we're witnessing Löw forcing Emre Can to play as a CB instead of giving "younger players" playing time lol. And players who are actually CBs

Now wait and see that Draxler miraculously will make the squad next summer
