    Why Not 3-5-2? We wont win against Italy with the same formation. Its not about the personnel, but their system

    their two strikers: one towering n one agile; they play with three centre backs too so we can be outnumbered. Maybe two strikers against them??


    ------------------------------Neuer
    ----------------Howedes---Boateng---Hummels
    -----Kimmich-------------------------------------Hector
    ---------------------Khedira-------Kroos
    -----------------------------Draxler
    ---------------------Mueller------Gomez

    would even play Jonathan Tah up top in the last minutes if we're behind.

    that's too risky to change that much. Also your 3-5-2 seems to have big holes down the wings. I think Low would only switch to 3-4-3 like https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1052999/Live/International-Int-Friendly-2016-Germany-Italy when they are behind 1 or 2 goals.

    The German variation of 3-5-2 is a 3-6-1 as we have played in that friendly vs Italy.

    We're going to win and it's gonna be beautiful. I would say I'm excited for Italian tears but their fans don't travel anyways so I won't get their tears even after we pound them.

    Plus Italy look extremely dangerous on counters. They spring an attack with deadly accuracy and speed. This could be our downfall if we're not careful

    Again were being reactive........ This is not the trap we are going to fall into again..

    Juve played 352 with conte back in 2013, but we (Bayern) were destroying them on the wings so Conte had to shift it to a back 4. He had to react to us, not the other way around..

    We can't be the ones to react..

    History does not look kindly to Germany in this series. However streaks and records are meant to be broken. If a loser town like Cleveland can break its curse, so can Germany. I'm not going with huge expectations despite hoping for the win. I think if Germany wins on Saturday, they will be Euro champions this year.

    Almost as bad as a Pep led FCBayern against a Spanish team in the Semi's.:eek:

    I'm a bit worried and would've rather faced Spain too. I'd go with the same lineup at last match but would bring on Goetze at the first sign Ozil isn't into the match which may be the 1st minute. Mueller needs to show up and score goals. No more excuses from the Raumdeuter. Gomez is freeing up the space so exploit it! And Kroos needs to cool it on the bomb shots unless he's wide open.

    Way too narrow. I wouldn't bet on Kimmich & Hector making great crosses to feed our strikers.

    He was very apologetic on FB after the NI match for blowing all the chances.

    I see de rossi is a doubt for the game, plus motta is suspended and candreva out also - so they are missing their central midfielders

    Aside from all system debating, would you perhaps throw Schweini in? Yes/no? For whom?

    I don't think so. Maybe as a supersub, but at this point, you just have to put in the players you trust in the optimal formation and then let them fly. Make adjustments as necessary come gametime, but overall you have to stick with what's worked so far.

    No Pirlo which wasn't the case in WC 06 and EC 12 so it changes things. If Basti isn't fully fit there is no point in forcing him in just like Italy have problems over the fitness of De Rossi and Motta is suspended which leaves them in trouble in midfield if De Rossi can't play and Conte said De Rossi won't play if not 100% fit.

    Who will win Germany or Italy?

    By the way I'd like to thank you guys for loving us so much in the past, and never even wanting to beat us because we are so nice and our country and players are too nice and friendly for you to even want to try against us, because you knew you guys would feel guilty for knocking the team with the nicest and friendliest players out.

    Please show us this respect again on July 2. We will be grateful for it, and you will be glad you did. That's why we always support you guys if we are out, like World Cup 2014.
