| German Squad announced Posted by americanoutlaw Only 2 strikers?  on 5/28 at 11:36 amSomeone explain why they only have 2 strikers Reply • Back to Top |
| Klose and Gomez right? Reply • Back to Top |
| Yea, but they have to have other strikers right? Reply • Back to Top |
| Podolski maybe? Reply • Back to Top |
I guess they'll just flood the field with midfielders. Where's Hendo when you need him?  Reply • Back to Top |
| Ozil could probably play striker nearly on par with many big name strikers. This post was edited on 5/28 at 11:58 am Reply • Back to Top |
| Müller can also play as a forward. Podolski is a forward, not a midfielder. That's just where Löw listed him. Reply • Back to Top |
| Ok so they basically just bull shite the roster Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by wm72 on 5/28 at 12:02 pm to americanoutlaw They simply have all the players that will play "second striker" like Muller etc listed with the "midfielders" when you would usually see some of them listed with "forwards". Reply • Back to Top |
| Can't Schurrle play a bit of striker too? Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by wm72 on 5/28 at 12:16 pm to IAmTheHatOnMilesHead All of Schurrle, Muller and Podolski would more normally be listed with "forwards" based on where they actually play. By this logic, Cassano and Giovinco would be listed as midfielders for the Italian NT and Pedro as a MF for Spain. This post was edited on 5/28 at 12:17 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Reus too. Reply • Back to Top |
| This lineup will be lethal: ----------Gomez---------- Podolski-------Mueller ------------Ozil------------- ---Schw'gr--Khedira--- Lahm--------Badstuber ----Mert'kr-Boateng---- ------------Neuer---------- I used this lineup with three swaps. Reply • Back to Top |
| Seriously doubt Per will start. Reply • Back to Top |
| I didn't think Gundogan would make the squad. I'm glad Caucau didn't make it. Schürrle is probably the third striker if needed. Reply • Back to Top |
| Germany will have an interesting problem at the back. Schmelzer is a natural left back, but Lahm plays better at LB than at RB. They don't have a natural right back other than Lahm, though Badstuber can play LB and Boateng can play RB. It will be interesting to see who they play. Hummels should be an automatic starter, as he's awesome at passing out of the back. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by wm72 on 5/28 at 2:06 pm to Friend of OBUDan quote: Me too. However, a good portion of blame he's taking for those 5 goals the Swiss netted can be placed on Hummels/Schmelzers awful positioning and the first I recall resulting from a really dangerous giveaway by Gotze. Of course, if there's any real weakness with Germany it's that the central defense has been shaky. Hummels may still be the one that teams with Badstuber but his positional awareness outside of the comfort zone of Dortmund has seemed really poor. Boateng may move in but I'm not too sold on him being any better than Hummels. Germany may well need all the goals their talented attack can muster if their opponents finish chances decently.

quote: This is true but he also seems as brash as David Luiz about getting caught out of position. He was almost as much to blame as Per for the Swiss cheese defense this past friendly. Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah he might be a little green behind the ears, but the more he plays, the better he will look. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I completely agree that he'll be a great player; it's just that the value of experience at CB is so amplified. I've argued with Roma fans all season to be patient with Kjaer for the similar reasons but that's not to say that Kjaer, for all his obvious talent, isn't a disaster waiting to happen against a wily, veteran striker.
