Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Tah really isnt a great player. He was hyped from a young age due to his physical maturity and physicality but I dont see him as a national team player.

 

Agree mostly particularly klostermann being fast full back, also he is tall too.
I agree technically the current squad is good, Reus, sane, gnaby and haverts all technically good. I won’t say Draxler is bad player, he is technically quite excellent and can hold the ball and can shoot, but he needs to play more matches in the club and improve his passing skills

 

Klostermann has potential, he has better potential as a full back than kimmichas he is fast, some people say kimmich should play full back, but I think kimmich is better in defense midfield as he can cover a huge area. As a full back kimmich is too slow, also he always tend to cut inside instead of going out right when on one on one situation

 

No idea what u guys talking about but

433 with Havertz at AM, that’s a 4231 tactically

Instead of 3 high work-rate midfielders in the middle, u have two CMs or Box-to-Box midfielders who can really defend. Someone like Kante or Casemiro is needed in a 4231 for the “2” DM/CM

If u wanna stick with Kroos as one of the “2” CM/DM especially, you need someone like a destroyer to cover Kroos. We don’t have a destroyer type DM, it’s difficult to play a 4231

Havertz is playing much better as in if the three forwards in a rotational system in a interchanging front three when he’s a top finisher with great composure and good aerial ability.

4231 don’t work anymore because of Germany’s personnel, Germany don’t have a Schweinsteiger, or Fring anymore, to provide coverage, physicality and defence, when u play 2 Cm/DMs instead of 3.

Havertz is someone who needs to stay more within the final third and is creating so much damage as one of the free forwards. He has allround skills and he IS USED as a STRIKER IN LEVERKUSEN. Not midfielder!

 

The starting 11 are full of talent, look great and exciting on paper but they lack physicality which can be a problem. One of the CM, one of the top 3 need to be bigger/physical.... combination play is not going to be effective every game....

 

I think Tah has made good progress last season...one significant improvement I see in his game is his passing skills...
I want Stark to play in champions league next season...be it Dortmund or Leverkusen(replace Bender in starting XI) or even Leipzig(if they sell Upamacano) under Naglesman

 

Emre Can and Havertz can be solution.

Emre Can , Kimmich, Gundogan can be good midfield combo. Maximilian Eggestein with his crazy work-rate can be another option (highest coverage in Bundesliga this season. 409km distance covered)


Havertz plays as a front 3 for Leverkusen and interchanges a lot ( I.e. a lot of time in the middle). Loew used Goretzka there against Holland too

Wonder how Guardiola made Man City a force with all small players.

It’s all about players’ quality. Spain with Pedro, Villa, Fabregas up top; Then Xavi, Busquest n Iniesta in midfield got them the Euro in 2012.

Not to mention Brazil in 90s with no aerial threat (Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Edmundo) weren’t aerial threat too. Then 2002 team with 3 Rs, none is aerial threat.

There are less teams in club level are playing crosses. Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga becoming less, so there are less aerial threats being trained nowadays

Apparently Aguero, Firmino, Icardi, Tadic, Suarez aren’t big strikers too. All less than 6ft , but all among top strikers in Europe

More or less tell you the style of game is changing. When all clubs are playing smaller strikers, the supply for strikers who are strong at headers will be limited for NT. logical

 

I want SirCrapchester back. At least he didnt spam.

And any teacher of this world will straight cross out your two sentence paragraphs. It's not a thing in the civilized world.

Believe me. It's making you look stupid.

Yes. It does.

 

Germany had 3 big chances (Sané’s goal, Sané’s header, Reus’ goal). He was involved in 2/3 of those. I didn’t expect much from Ginter beforehand but I think it’s deserved.

And there were many people saying he isn’t a good player moving the ball forward. He’s better than Sule in that regard, and for a CB I think he is decent

 

wow pictures is actually an upgrade

 

What position did Havertz play for Leverkusen post winter break when he kept scoring for fun?

Not CM (8) nor AM (10), in fact Bosz system doesn’t involve a 10

He was used as a SS(right)/CF ,

 

So no games count?

So why didn’t Reus, Sule, Gnabry, Gundogan; Sane all those bigger names didn’t win the MOTM but Ginter?

 

I mean, kudos to Ginter for having some great passes against Belarus which I originally anticipated would not happen, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s able to continue this against better opposition

I mean, Draxler’s had like one really good game last Euro against Slovenia or something but doesn’t mean he should even be in the NT based on that

So I’m all for trying something new and give other players a chance in this team but I’m genuinely supposed to believe that Hummels’s not able to compete against the likes of Rüdiger, Ginter and Tah based on performances for club and country after the World Cup?

Hummels is actually pretty amazing in the build-up play and I see absolutely no reason why he’s supposedly not good enough to at least be in the squad to justify a starting place in this squad as none but Süle has proved themselves to really deserve to start

And I don’t see how it’s necessary to have Schulz, Halstenberg and Hector in the squad as the latter should be done and dusted based on the same permissions as Hummels for not bringing it in the NT for years really. And the fact he’s playing in 2nd Bundesliga but is still supposedly 100% guaranteed to be in the squad is ridiculous

This team still has to find a clear identity in the way they want to play and find out which direction they want to go as the 2-0 victory over Belarus still leaves room for concerns and questions such as if Ginter and Tah really are the ones that should be used in an eleven, where to place Kimmich, Havertz’s role in this team and the list goes on...

So we’ll see what happens next summer but I think regardless of the outcome it’s still time to get rid of Löw I believe and bring in new impulses and thoughts
