    I basically agree with what you are posting here, but Sami's finishing is atrocious. I would never in a million years consider that one of his strengths. In fact his play in and around the opposing team's box is his biggest weakness by far. He makes good intelligent runs, but his technical limitations, lack of vision and horrible finishing is a major drawback.

    Schweini and Khedira looked great taking turns charging forward, but Schweini's ability with long passes makes him better at sitting back and spraying beautiful passes, just look at the 1-0 in this last game, it all starts with a great pass over the top from Schweini for Schmelzer, that's why in name Schweini would be the DLP and Sami the BtB guy, but in practice each would take turns going forward and dropping back to maintain possession and cover for counters.

    My plan to cram the midfield and have Fullbacks that are used to having to rush back down the wings isn't looking so silly now, huh...:p
