Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Friedrich is probably the top performing German CB at this point imo, and that includes the blacklisted Hummels and Boateng. He should get a call up in March.

O

 

Very clever decision btw to keep the right flank open and have German Armijen Robben run into it. It's almost as if Noord Holland was a little more valuable than Zuid-Holland

 

We simply cannot bench Gundogan with his current form. Looks like Kroos might have to sit cos I don't see how a midfield of Gundogan plus Kroos won't be overrun

------Back 4
------Kimmich
Kroos------Gundogan
-------Goretzka
--Gnabry-- Sane

 

A midfield of gundo and kroos is a virtual suicide, agree on current it's gundogan all the way, Gundo, kimmich, Goretzka

 

Sule needs to get his form back before the Euros. Not playing well atm.

 

Suele is terrible , absolutely terrible

so clumsy , so slow and can’t move anymore.

Ruediger, Ginter, Hummels, Marvin Friedrich and Uduokhai are my choices

 

Should loew move kimmich to left back and rather make use of Neuhaus , kroos, gorestka and gundo in midfield ?

Probably not - kimmich at lone 6 and the others as a double 8 could be a dominating midfield .

Although just looking back at the Spain game - we know now that with out kimmich in midfield it is a disaster .

Kroos Gundo and Gorestka were hopeless . We need kimmich for the Defensive midfield .

What worrie me the most we all wanted a 4-3-3 against Spain and that’s what loew gave us . It was actually the best line we could do with out the exiled trio and injured kimmich

And that also did not work .

What position does Gundo actually play at Man City . Is it 6 or 8 ???

 

A display of what positions Ilkay Gündogan has played in over the last 50 matches including his average match rating on the specific position.

POSITIONS APPS AVERAGE RATING
Midfielder (Centre) 28
7.5
Defensive Midfielder (Centre) 18
7.4
Attacking Midfielder (Centre) 2
6.7
Midfielder (Left) 1
7.8
Defender (Centre) 1
7.5

I guess that would equate Mid - Center would be more of an 8

In that case we could have something like this:
-----------Back 4 (most unexplained phenonium)
----------------------Kimmich------------------------------
-------------Goretska -----------Gundo(left-center Midfield)

 

--------------------Neuer-----------------------
Gintner----Hummels----Boa--------Friedrich (4CB like 2014 ) Solid defense
-------------Kimmich-------Neuhaus-----------------------------------------------------
--Gorestka--------------------------------Gundo-----------------------------------------
--------------------------Muller------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------Stindl---------------------------------------------------
4-4-2 - Old school hahahaha

 

Anyone who is in favor of Gündogan would have also voted for Benedict Arnold as 1st colonial officer after the restored 13 colonies' failed attempt to gain independence

 

Marvin Friedrich as LB? ....may as well just bring back Benny Höwedes at this point

 

Nothing wrong with Halstenberg or Gosens, perfectly serviceable options at this point. Netz will soon have that position locked down anyway, no worries for the future of the LB spot with several good talents in that position.

If Low doesn't call up Hummels, which seems likely given his stubborness and Hummels current form, then I suspect the back 5 for the Euros at this point would probably be Klostermann, Ginter, Sule, Rudiger and Gosens, Gotta hope Sule rediscovers some form before then, at least Ginter and Rudiger are doing ok currently. I would prefer Hummels, Friedrich, Udoukhai or Boateng to make it but I can't see that happening, Low will stick with the players he likes.

 

I’m expecting Musiala, Marvin Friedrich and Kevin Volland to be nominated for the next NT

all three can help the current NT

Ridle Baku And Uduokhai aren’t new, but I like them in the NT too.

then of coz we can talk about players like Hummels, Thomas Muller or Stindl

 

hahahah .....and Mustafi ?

 

What a performance by Draxler. He is indeed the future Kapitano.

 

Arnold? Really?

Probably the most underrated player in Bundesliga nowadays

 

This team would help Germany win the World Cup, by ensuring not only Low but also Bierhoff, Keller and probably the entire DFB board would be brought down after the Euros lol.

That being said Arnold isn't horrible, and Draxler will probably actually start for realz.

 

Why are posts getting deleted in this thread?

Thats the spirit. We need this "we're shit and we know we are" mood back from the bargain corner times...

 

Well currently Kuranyi and Kiessling won't find it difficult to breakthrough our NT squad.
