Well done Loewie

Emre can could force his way in to the midfield for the euros, let's be honest the midfield lacks power and steel.

Sky expert Erik Meijer also stated: "This season he is outstanding at Atalanta. I am therefore very excited to see when the Netherlands and / or Germany will register for him." Perhaps it is only a matter of time before his appointment, because national coach Joachim Löw has already noticed Robin Gosens. And Gosen's strong performance should have promised Löw.

Robin Gosens
However, the only highlight of the whole thing is this: The defender can run for both Germany and the Netherlands - Gosen's father is Dutch. Regarding a possible upcoming decision for which nationality the left-back would play for, Gosens told Bild: "I feel both Dutch and German. If I really have to make a decision, I find it difficult. I personally have both sides heard nothing. I mainly hear the media talking or writing about it. "

The consideration of taking Gosens to the upcoming European Championship would not be a bad idea, because: The left defenders Nico Schulz (BVB), Jonas Hector (1. FC Köln) and Marvin Plattenhardt (Hertha BSC) graduated in the Past no strong games. Only Marcel Halstenberg shows himself as a left-back at RB Leipzig consistently with good performances. So Joachim Löw should have some serious thoughts whether he shouldn't give Gosens a chance in the DFB team.

Hector plays in midfield, lol and Plattenhardt no one cares about him and NT, was never good enough.

as for Gosens, interesting to note he left Germany at 18 and went to play in Netherlands......now he's been linked with Inter, Chelsea, Schalke etc.

Dutch reared defenders are selling like hot cakes

Karl-Heinz Riedle · Feb 21, 2020

Gosens is good. But he can only play as a left wingback

he has never really played left back in a back four and impressed.

Nico Schulz has the same problem too. Much better as wing back

Remind me why jogi doesn't want Muller again? Or boateng fir that matter !!

Ger90 · Feb 25, 2020

because he blames them for his ineptitude. Nothing worse than a leader that uses scapegoats. Low is a coach famous for blacklisting players and once blacklisted it's over, you'll never get recalled.

he's also over and over ignores the form of players.

I also agree that players like Muller, Boa and Hummels have a voice and Low pretty much eliminated players with influence and kept only a few.

andydippy · Feb 25, 2020

We would have a great chance of winning the euros with boateng , hummels and Muller in the squad , really missing 2 centre defenders and something different and clever up front and here is the answer

Alex C · Feb 25, 2020

Low should pick players based on form. But he won't, he didn't before and I expect he stubbornly won't do it for this tournament either.

BorisG · Feb 26, 2020

Reus come back seems tricky .... In case his injury is a prolonged one .. he would be dumb not to take Muller .

I like that team but think in reality
Kimmich will almost certainly play in midfield, and if Sule recovers in time Hummels won’t be called up (although he should be).

I like Demme. Provides something different to the midfield. Sometimes you dont want every midfielder to play like Kroos. Demme is a DM who can provide some reckless challenge, coverage, tough-nosed defence and physicality to midfield.

Things arent always on your way, we need some players who can provide X-factors in the squad so we can have different game plans. We shouldnt have 10 midfielders of the same type (which Loew prefers those "pass n move' midfielders), we should find a balance in a 23-men roster.

2018 WC, Loew thought Sane's style is different from other players and might not fit his system, so he didnt nominate Sane. But what if Loew's game plan was wrong from the beginning? you always need a backup plan if things go wrong.

I dont like the Spanish way anymore. Football is a lot more dynamic than 10 years back, you have to put athleticism, physicality and anticipation/work rate into account. Only focus on passes and technique no longer works.

players like Demme, Gosens, Goretzka, Can and Niederlechner........imo are few players who can bring something different to the team. Again, we (or Jogi) need to have a new perspective of what type of players are suitable for tournaments.

I am not sure if we need Muller, Reus, Havertz and Brandt in the same team. maybe choose 3 from 4

Yes his man managment of the players is truly shocking

The Jitty Slitter · Feb 26, 2020

Mueller needs to be back in serious contention given his combination with Gnabbers

At least good enough for the rotation

BorisG · Feb 26, 2020

So yes I watched the Bayern game against Chelsea and must say Müller and even Boateng are in good shape .... and definitely in form .

But what I actually want to say is that Hansi flick is doing a good job at Bayern . Bayern still a team in transition from the Robbery days and he seems to be a quiet but solid and humble coach .

My point is Low’s only trophy came from when Hansi was assistant coach . That makes me wonder just putting it out there .

I wonder what his selection would like if he was German coach ???!!!????

Klinsmann+Low=Low is the real brain and Klinsmann is a bum.
Low+Flick=Flick is the real brain and Low is a bum.

Low is a coach that has issues, he's a dinosaur from a bygone era. Who remembers WC14 it was said that Flick is the one who focused on corners and free kicks and then post WC14 those things were mostly ignored.

Totally agree, hansi flick has totally transformed bayern, last night's performance away to Chelsea was top notch performance

saj7866 · Feb 26, 2020

From what I've seen of late, Muller, hummels and even boetang should be in the squad for euros, a blend of quality experience players and the younger generation would in my opinion give germany a excellent chance if the Euros go ahead, this concerning outbreak of this virus could make euros a serious doubt

sorry being off topic, but here is the new threat for the German fraulein national team. Their currently ranked 2nd place in the world & got a major game vs #5 Sweden coming up next week(Sweden knocked them off at the last WC)
