2-0 Germany. Great wing play from Brand, beating her defender and producing a fantastic cross to the back post, for Endeman to finish with the outside of her foot nicely.
Still no offensive quality coming from the mid-field. It's taking Brand and Endemann to finally beat their defender and produce elite crossing to generate chances.
Kett Out, Linder in. Dallmann Out, Mühlhaus in. Endemann Out, Cerci In. WHY is Cerci still being wasted as a wide player...
4-0 Germany. Mühlhaus sets up Brand, who places a shot across goal, and has it deflected into the far corner. 4-1 Austria. Direct long kick by the goalkeeper completely missed by Wamer, allows Austria to get a 1v1 Vs Berger and finish calmly.
LOL... Schüller in a team that provides crosses and through balls actually looks like scoring goals...
5-1 Germany. Schüller back in Germany and looking like a real deal striker again lol. Nice turn away from the defender, and an excellent low and hard shot to the far post. There's absolutely nothing down Germany's left now that Cerci is out there. But Mühlhaus keeping things nice and tidy means Germany are doing a better job breaking Austrian pressure...
I don't understand removing Endemann and Dallmann from this game, when you have no 4th option on the bench to realistically maintain quality on both wings.
FT: 5-1 Germany. Comfortable end result, where Germany could have honestly won by more if they truly pushed to do so. I honestly see Senß as my player of the match. But given the goals, and general play, it will be given to Brand.
No stupid antics from Berger, the goal conceeded today not her fault. I hope the days of Berger thinking she needs to be Toni Kroos truly at an end. Küver - Minge still the best CB partnership. Kett only developing a shot away from being one of the best player in the world. Senß was great again, but Wück needs to find another DM option for the times Senß suspended, or unavailable. We knew it during the Euro's, and we still see it now, that Nüsken, and Dallmann, are below the level necessary to truly dictate games on this level of football. Endemann was quiet, but still overall effective down the left. Brand getting better over the course of the match, with Anyomi doing well with the little she was given. My biggest take away from this match being Dallmann should be a permanent member of the wide list. Mühlhaus pushed into the cast of AM's. Cerci providing nothing from the wide role again, it's increasingly frustrating thinking about the way Germany's top striker isn't considered a striker by the wnt... Mühlhaus holding off physical pressure, keeping the ball moving nice and simple with limited touches, again a reminder why she's currently the leagues #1 CAM. Oh... and Wamser error for the goal.... The talent for Wamser to be an elite FB is there, but her in game IQ still remains suspect at times.
Germany vs Austria Gwinn out for the second match against Austria with shoulder injury. I know which new player I would add.
