Die Deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft News & Discussion Thread - Road to Russia 2018 Thread (R)

GK) Neuer, te Stegen, Trapp

RB) Kimmich, (Lars Bender / Emre Can)
CB) Boateng, Hummels, Rüdiger, Süle
LB) Hector, Philipp Max

CM/DM) Kroos, Khedira, Erme Can, Lars Bender, Gündogan
RW) Müller, Schürrle / Gnabry
AM) Ozil, Goretzka
LW) Reus. Leroy Sane

CF) Timo Werner, Mario Gomez

I think this should be the squad.


But most likely:

GK) Neuer, ter Stegen, Trapp

RB) Kimmich
CB) Boateng, Hummels, Rüdiger, Süle, Ginter
LB) Hector, Plattenhardt

CM/DM) Kroos, Khedira, Emre Can, Gündogan
RW) Müller, Reus
AM) Ozil, Goretzka
LW) Draxler, Leroy Sane

CF) Timo Werner, Mario Gomez

 

I think you are spot on...the 2nd team is most likely going to be the squad except Kevin Trapp...the 3rd goalkeeper position is wide open and Ulreich's continuous top class performance and being starter of Bayern will probably give him the ticket of Russia....

Stefan Reuter (Augsburg's Sports director ): Philiipp Max's chance (of making the WC squad) is low

 

My starting line up against Spain would be ....
Ter stgen
Kimmich Himmels Boateng Hector
Khedira kroos
Müller Özil Sane
Gomes

Subs
Goretska
Gundogan
Werner
Draxler

Looks like we are all 1990 kitted for 2018 ... well if Results are similar that’s okay

 

Busquets will not play for Spain

 

Creds to Löw for dropping the likes of Mustafi and Götze back home - didn't believe that would happen

 

Yes agreed , he did say the door is not totally closed and I think the same counts for schurrle as well. Reus on the other hand I really hope it’s just a precaution .

 

Stöger... says that Reus, Schurle and Goetze should be taken with to the WC.

Ilgner on the other hand says that if Neuer not fit ter Stegen should play and that he is as good as Neuer and as important for Barcelona as is Messi

 

There’s still time for Reus to get injured again....it’s like clockwork with him. Why risk a spot?

 

Reus was available last weekend Vs Hannover. They just didn’t play him because of precaution

I think this pretty much sums it all up, except from Draxler being 100% in the final squad no matter what??

 

i dont think Draxler's spot matters too much

Sane Muller or even Reus will be ahead of him. Hes just a 4th string winger

I just want Philipp Max, Reus and Lars Bender in this team. These players can make some difference to the team

 

ter Stegen - Kimmich, J. Boateng, Hummels, J. Hector - Gündogan, T. Kroos - T. Müller, Özil, L. Sané - Ti. Werner
Kicker line up for tomorrow....

I see Neuer comeback delayed again till mid may

 

Wagner, Ginter, Rudy, Stindl, gotze, schrurrle should stay home for Reus, Gomez, Goretzka.

Draxler is only helpful when we're already on top and need to keep the possession. The guy lacks ideas up front.

 

BVB and Bayern showing interest for Hector, finally he gets to play for a top team considering his quality as a player. Think this is what he needs to develop further as LB

 

CAN wont be available for tonight's game!

 

Must Say i would love to see this tonight . Actually a bit pissed at loew for not taking Reus. I would have loved to see him play in this team. He must not come up with funny bullsh!t and not select him for WC if fit due some hogwash idea of his.

 

Loew confirmed that Philipp Max wont be there in WC

So are we having Plattenhardt as a backup LB? In that case, his spot is pretty much guaranteed, as there is no compeition

I think there might be a chance that we are playing back-three.............and Loew might use Leroy Sane as a left wing back. In that case, he wont bring in Plattenahrdt as a backup LWB

right wing back is always an issue though. Maybe Loew will bring Rudy because he can play relatively well at RB/RWB.

I am predicting:

GK) Neuer, ter Stegen, Leno

RB) Kimmich (sub: Rudy as RWB in a 3-4-3?)
CB) Boateng, Hummels, Ginter, Sule, Rudiger
LB) Hector (sub: Sane as LWB in a 3-4-3?)

CM) Emre Can, Goretzka, Khedira, Kroos, Gundogan, Rudy
RW) Mueller, Reus
AM) Oezil
LW) Sane, Draxler

CF) Werner, M.Gomez

 

Kicker and Bild expect the same formation and players

 

yeah, germany shouldn't go 100% today
just test test test test for the WC

 

I think i am more interested to watch the Brazil match. Who are the fullbacks?

are we playing 3-4-3 or 4-2-3-1?
