Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Was it worse than when we played Mexico at world cup with hummels and boetang

 

Agreed .... Germany were also
Lucky and come one Holland is not that good Either

We should always be the best and currently that means we should see
How we do against England , France , Spain and Belgium .

 

WhT do you guys think if Matheus said ?

He says Germany is missing a true 9
And loew should call up davie selke.

 

Yes but at the World Cup we played 4-2-3-1 and that definitely did not work anymore

I still think a 5-3-2 or 4-3-3 is probably a better option ....

With the 5-3-2 I think we did okaish must admit both Dutch Goals was due to the fact that they could not clear the ball properly

Would love to see Klopp take over one day

 

It's logical.Defense starts with the attack. When you sacrifice attacking options for more defensive ones you call upon yourself to be pressured defensively.

 

We won Confed with a back 5 throughout. We just need to field a Stindl or Kruse in attack together with players actually playing the system more often then it can work quite well. Plus, Koeman admitted he didnt know how this system would eventually play out which is why we dominated in the first half. We can field anything between the systems and thats an advantage any given day

 

Not at all, certainly against Liverpool at anfield he was outstanding

 

Does the @DFB_Team_EN need an out-and-out No9? @LMatthaeus10 has his say... pic.twitter.com/jn0zgkXncg

Same thing with Sule at Bayern. He routinely has 90% or better pass accuracy but his passes are all sideways and back to the keeper.

 

I think Löw has been spoiled by how good they were. He got away with playing 2 CBs 50 meters from goal with no support and it only started to fail when they aged and lost pace.

 

Except from the fact that his two "mistakes" were on Liverpool's goals - otherwise great, better than Süle I'd say

Remember Boateng in Euro 16? He was ridiculous good back then - it's too unfortunate about their injuries because Boateng/Hummels should've been in their prime last year at the WC. Hummels basically the same player though, I'd say

 

Are we really discussing Hummels and Boateng's game against Mexico? Lol, you see any defender, no matter how good they are, will struggle in a 2v1 situation - and those situations happened numerous times against poor Mats and Boa - they didn't stand a chance
However sometimes we saw 3 Mexico players against Hummels or Boa lol

What's awful is that I feel like Löw's mistakes seems to have costed Hummels and Boa their NT careers

 

Combination of loews tactics and a past it khedira and a legless kroos

 

U still need a tall, physical striker in your roster. One or two

U wanna have more options. Sometimes when opponents parked their buses, u need to have different options to score goals

Not just combination player or technical player. Some physicality inside the box might help

Yea, Loew used Goretzka in th more advanced role n interchange with Gnabry/Sane so he has more time inside the penalty box or as a frontman

Maybe Loew sees the need of having more variety inside the penalty box too. But a Selke or Fullkrug won’t hurt

I don’t rate Werner, needs too much space. More like a counter attack player. When opponents parked the bus n we couldn’t untie the deadlock, Werner isn’t one

An important attribute for strikers is ALWAYS the ability to win duels, or aerial duels. In tight space, u need to be exceptionally technical and physical to create or to score. Being Either just technical or physical won’t work, u need both

Werner is lacking a bit on both sides. We need players who can cause danger in tighter space

Volland, Selke, Weydandt maybe
