That's a point that can certainly be made, sure.
But then, how many headers has Schweinsteiger put past the keeper this year from inside the six-yard box? And he's nominally a DM in the pretty graphics before the game. This is just an example, but it goes to show that football is fluid and situational.
Often, defensively, we're playing a flat 4 - 4 - 2 against the ball. Think about it...
I've been gone for a while, but I'm sure you guys remember my credo: Formations are not tactics! They are just a basic skeleton out of which your tactics develop. So don't get a headache trying to figure out the subtle differences between a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 and a 4 - 3 - 3. Watch what happens in the game and on the pitch. That's way more important than the pretty graphics in the pre game show (which are not rarely wrong anyways).

In my opinion his skill sets are one of a CM who controls the midfield through his creative passes not an AM who quickly transitions defense to attack he just doesnt have the pace like Gotze or Ozil. We have all seen how counter's have been slowed down by Kroos and without Jupp to ride his nuts i think this issue will be addressed by Pep...

The BVB is the game to tell. Kroos was the linchpin of our relatively successful (relatively because of Weindenfeller) showing against BVB this year. His control of the tempo, distribution, and outside shootings gave Dortmund a lot more to think about. In the previous years, all they had to do was double-press the flanks. With Kroos' abilities, double-teaming on the flanks would've opened a whole bunch of options for Toni to exploit. Juve/Barca don't do that kind of pressing, and hence our game switched back to starting from the flanks, so his absence was not felt (in fact, it was sort of beneficial). I really really hope that we do not miss him in the final.
