He was doing all the defensive job but he is nowhere close what he used to be. They have a huge hole in midfield.
Maybe shouldve gotten Weigl next to Kroos idk.

they missed full backs that would actually get back on defense

For German NT even Younes > Sane

Like Gotze did 4 years ago IMO Sane is not creative, he is just fast. And I dont see at all how this would be such a huge asset given how the game played out with Mexico standing deep.

this is all part of a strategy i believe. Germany wants to get the easy walkover Brasil in the round of 16

Germany needs to bench Khedira and Ozil. I'd start Gundogan over Khedira at this point and do some combination of Reus/Muller/Brandt/Draxler. I feel like Reus-Muller-Brandt would perform much better than this midfield.
Low has been criticized for at least 6 years and for very good reason. He's too rigid and sticks to players and tactics even when it's clear that they aren't the optimal strategy. At this rate, Germany is going to get 2nd in the group, get knocked out by Brazil in the RO16, and Germany needs to hand Low his walking papers. He's been consistently under-performing with the talent on this team for nearly a decade.

haha, you are the only one who has criticised him in the last 6 years. He won the world cup 4 years ago. You cant criticise someone winning that

I thought the tears will be delicious but outside I only hear 'mexico' screams :O

EC08: final WC10: semifinal EC12: semifinal WC14: winner EC16: semifinal
Yep, you are right. LOL
Yes, people are criticizing Löw for a decade, and imho for good reason in many cases. But if anything speaks for him it is simply one thing: He gets results.

I have not seen any expert here that suggested anything close to that. The starting 11 in Germany is pretty clear cut, there is not much room for changes. And your last sentence rather sounds like a troll. Germany has generally overperformed relative to the value of the team. They have the same market value as England for example. Them going out in groups for once would be statistically perfectly normal.

I think he should realize that Ozil is a no go, but that's about it.
Maybe Khedira also but not sure.
|
I'm just hoping Löw starts with a different line-up next match. Clearly didn't work this time around.
