The Real Reboot Thread: Road to WC22

Wirtz now definitely should be in the Qatar 2022 starting XI

 

2 pre-assists and 2 assists from him today…in 2 years of time he should replace Muller at Bayern

 

I was wondering after Gundogan retires from NT after 2022 World Cup, can any of the 4 players take his spot

Denis Geiger
Vitaly Janelt
Niklas Dorsch
Anton Stach

all are 23 years old at this moment…to me Geiger is a like a like replacement of Gundogan with less flair in attack and more sturdiness in defensive duties

 

interesting how Tuchel plays Havertz as CF. Think he is improving his overall game in that position, just need more goals.
Lukaku was impressive from start in Chelsea but has not been able to keep it up so far. Might be a chance for Havertz to actually get a lot of playingtime as a CF

 

Would go with Stach, Geiger or Dorsch

 

Your on point

 

Want niklas Dorsch to make that position his own.

 

ja hahahaha

 

Wirtz and Schlotterbeck making quite the strong case for themselves to be in Qatar

 

We should all be careful of overvaluing players based upon routs of weak opponents. That said I am a huge fan of Florian Wirtz and he is absolutely NT calibre. His performance in that game was fantastic albeit subdued for someone of his attacking quality. He seemed happy to play a supporting role.

Not disagreeing with you, but in place of who for the starting line-up? Assuming Germany is using the 4-2-3-1 formation with a CAM (his primary role), the Flick's current XI is probably this:

Neuer

Hofmann Sule Rudiger Raum

Goretzka Kimmich

Gnabry Muller Sane

Werner

The like for like swap is Wirtz for Muller, but Muller is better atm (in a year who knows).

The other position Wirtz is best known for is RAM. Do you take out Gnabry for him?

 

A player to consider in coming years: Marco Rente (CB; 24 years; 6 feet).

Plays in Eredevisie. Second season for him after moving to Heracles from BVB II.

Defensive stats are very good:
Interceptions: 3.9/game (#1 in league)
Clearances: 4.5/game (#5 in league)
Tackles: 2.6/game (#12 in league)
Aerial duels won: 2.3/game....a weak point
Passing: 85%.

 

I have a very serious question for anyone and everyone.

Has Matthias Ginter progressed in any meaningful way from the player that BVB bought and sold years ago?

 

Thank you.

IMHO a classic case of developed fast, peaked early, and made no significant progression since then.

 

I am following Luca Kilian…he is also only 22 like Schlotterbeck and making progress this season…not everyone peaks at 22 so want to keep a eye on his development in coming months

 

I think Kehrer will probably start over RAUM

 

Stark & Kempf were a very successful partnership in DFB youth teams, 2014 Euro u19 winners and 2017 Euro u21 winners. Shame that injuries have affected their pro careers.

 

Why?

I hope not. Kehrer is a CB and not really a FB, even though he can play RB or LB.

Honestly once fit Gosens will probably be ahead of both of them.

Both Raum and Gosens bring much more in attack as FBs than Kehrer.

 

Really a shame. I heard the DFB had high hopes for Stark in particular.
