Ozil will need to be careful. Asamoah is a big threat from left back and will need to be tracked. Otherwise, team should look to keep the ball...
Now looking back on it, do you think it would have been wiser for Mesut to stay at Bremen for another year or two before he moved to Madrid? He...
I think you are going a little overboard with your criticism. Yes, Mesut is not as reliable on the ball as someone like Kroos or Lahm, but that's...
Here's a clip of Low with Mesut after he was subbed. [MEDIA] Muller and Khedira both also consoled him during his substitution. IMO, Mesut needs...
Agree with this. In the long term, this will allow Mesut to develop into a more well rounded, and better player. But for this tournament, it's...
Wanted to discuss Ozil real quick. He had a good game yesterday, but was the first attacking player subbed and quite early as well. Any thoughts...
It will be interesting to see. We definitely won't create the as many clear cut chances, but with the creativity and sheer ability of our front...
Agreed. Lahm was a bit slow on the ball at first, but he's the one player on the team with the intelligence and skillset to play that holding...
Excellent opening game. Pretty much all that I have to say has already been said, but I genuinely think this team has a better chance at a trophy...
I haven't posted in a while but based on the way things are shaping up, Germany will most likely line up in a 4-2-3-1. If so, as SirManchester has...
I don't know if I should be surprised or not that so many Germany National fans still don't quite understand what type of player Ozil is yet. Ozil...
Mesut was fantastic today, as was the team. Hope he carries this form into the Bayern game.
Great point. Although the fact we regularly under perform in friendlies must have something to do with the lack of motivation and drive for players.
This is a great analysis of the state of German football. The problem really is that the team has been stuck in too long a period of stagnation...
Lahm didn't have a good game though. I am not sure if it was Low's instructions, but he should not be charging 20 meters forward trying to press...
Re-watched the match and here's a few thoughts. Positives: -Boateng. He's been immense over the last year for the National Team and he's a...
Would he be a good fit for Arsenal do you think? Not sure he can coexist with Ramsey. I'd like to see him at Chelsea actually. Mourinho would do...
Is he better than Lars though? Lars has better technique, but doesn't play there at club level.
I feel he lacks a bit of composure in the final third. Needs to pick his head up more instead of driving to the by line each time. Defensively...
I think barring further injury, Low will go with Boateng and Mertesacker in the middle. I don't think he's ever fully trusted Hummels which is a...
I actually think the process of Ozil adapting to a 4-1-4-1 has already started at Arsenal. Arsenal play a lone holder (Arteta/Flamini) and another...
Gotze is more comfortable in both of those positions that's for sure.
I don't either. Wonder if Mesut's spot in the National Team really is under pressure.
How do you guys see Ozil fitting in a 4-1-4-1?
Oops. Muller isn't available, so Gotze should start on right then, with Schurrle left.
