Pre-match: (EURO 2016 - Group Stage) Germany vs. Poland 06.16.2016 [R]

Schweini is not going to start in this tourney is my guess. He can play a 2nd half and perhaps plus extra time but that is it.

stop already!!! you grossin' me out

 

I don't mind starting Schweinsteiger. I actually like your lineup - better than Sunday's IMHO. Schweinsteiger brings leadership, energy, and intelligence. I might balance his age with one of the youngsters in Khedira's or Schurrle's slots.
This is a good team, though. If you left Neuer in goal, you could swap the others for the bench and still beat half the competition.

 

does hummels fit enough for next match ? Time for Kimmich and Sane to come in to take over RB and RW.

 

Why is it when Germany Play they look so slow and lethargic, watching Spain they seemed very quick and active on the field. Just wondering .... Not sure if I am just imagining it????
Does Germany slow down the game or do they take an extra touch with each ball contact?
I guess the Spanish play one touch football where Germany have like two touches before they pass!!!!!!!

 

Not 100% sure they(Bild and kicker) say he could be back already , but lets see.....what our ares scratcher, smelly fingers will do!
Dont think Schweinsteiger will start yet, I recon round of 16 will be his first start.

Also hope for some youngsters at least being subbed in.....

 

Well, we have experience with Löw handling situations in which players arent 100% fit. One result was Lahm playing DM for the first 4 games in 2014. Ive seen an interview where journalists said Löw had told them weeks before that Khedira and Schweini together simply cannot start until the mid of the tourney but in public Löw and the journalists acted like Lahm at DM was his first choice and until after France opponents did not know who would play in which position. So we surely will see again this will he/will he not play game with Hummels and Schweini and others.

 

------------------------Neuer------------
Kimmich-------Boa------Hummels-----CAN
--------------------Schweinie-----------
----------------Kroos----------Khedira---
OEzil------------------Muller-----------Draxler

 

it's because Spain found it easier to penetrate the Czech box while we struggled except for a few times to do so with Ukraine, which is why we need more touches.

 

Coz Spain's players are very comfortable with the ball on their feet which makes them more dynamic in possession and going forward. With the exception of Ozil and Kroos, our mid and attackers are runners without the ball. Muller, Draxler and Schurlle look awkward with the ball at their feet. Spain plays a system that fits their players strength. Spanish players are more 'Ozil' like. Germany's players are better suited for counter attacking football but are trying to play possession style.

 

Lukas Podolski defends Low, I wonder if this will get him some playing time?

You can't seriously say that Draxler is technically limited like Mueller and Schuerrle.

 

Too many DMs. I'd go with

Kimmich-------Boa------Hummels-----CAN
----------------Kroos----------Khedira---
Ozil------------------Mueller-----------Draxler
--------------------Gommie-----------

 

Funny guys. Putting Can at LB, where he hasn't played for ages? Has he ever? Also pushing Ozil to the wing and limiting his ability drastically. Amazing.

 

Well i was not impressed with Hector... Can is hectors backup , he played there against Hungary when subbed in... Maybe he wont be better either but hey!
In a 4-3-3(below) , I just think that Muller is better in the center then Oezil is , Oezil can play on the wing as well.
------------------------Neuer------------
Kimmich-------Boa------Hummels-----CAN
--------------------Schweinie-----------
----------------Kroos----------Khedira---
OEzil------------------Muller-----------Draxler

Low wont play a 4-3-3 at this stage , maybe in the knock out rounds he will field, Schweinie, Khedira and Kroos...e.g against Italy in QF.
Then Having oezil in the center wont make sense as his finishing is not as good as Mullers..
One could do this...
------------------------Neuer------------
?-------Boa------Hummels-----?
--------------------Schweinie-----------
----------------Kroos----------Oezil---
Goetze------------------Muller-----------Draxler

 

How about:

-----------------------------------Neuer--------------------------------------------
------Kimmich-----------Boateng----------Hummels--------------Hector-----
----------------------Khedira---------------Kroos---------------------------------
------------------------------------Özil----------------------------------------------
--------Sané---------------------Müller-------------------------Draxler------------

 

We need to be better defensively because we were soft as poo down the middle and on counters..

Lewa will have a field day with the chances given to Ukraine

 

easy win

 

Focus have found out that in all tourneys Löw's lineups in the 1st and 2nd game were always identical. Either no Hummels or he's got to break that rule.

 

Mueller is technically limited?
Or is there some insider BS Germany board sarcasm that I miss here?
