FC Bayern Forum

He didnt score in this match and your trying really hard to find something to criticize him about???

I hope he will do to you like with Scholl and score a double against Greece, that will you


Anws I think although both scored I am not really impressed with Bender and Poldi.

I know most of you liked Khderi, but I think that for a DM he ventured forwar A LOT and his shots are pathetic, so why not play Kroos instead or may be Bender

dang it, I'm upset about Podolski scoring, now he has "justified" his place. Schuerrle is so much better, Poldi can't dribble past a dying tree...

BTW, I don't think anyone has proposed moving Ozil to the wing and bring Kroos as CAM, like we had at the end of the game.

My match recap with video highlights on FC Bayern Central: Germany goes through a stress test but qualifies for the quarters

Not only were Podolski and Khedira bad, but also Oezil. This guy is simply not living up to his potential and his only purpose seems to slow down our attacks with absolutely useless dribbles rather than inviting through balls like the 2 that Schweinsteiger did against Holland.

I don't think Kroos would do any worse in his position...

Disagree about Oezil. He did better than the last 2 games and seems improving.

Also you "forgot" to mention Gomez to the disappointments of yesterday game.

He was bad and struggled most of the times (because of pressure of defence) and the few times he actually got the ball, he tried to do things that he isn't really capable of. Also he failed to cover Krohn-Dehli in the equalizer.

I got the feeling (hopefully I am wrong) that he thinks he proved himself already. Well, the real tournament has just began (with the knockout phase).

Hey... a dying tree could be a good opponent:

khedira did good
the disappointments were mesut ozil and podolski
Goetze should get some playing time

Khedira played well again,overall alongside Gomez and Lahm he has been the standout player for the squad (Yes, ahead of Schweinsteiger). Ozil needs to do more. Podolski is easily the worst player on the pitch.

I really want Germany to play Reus and give Gotze a super sub role INSTEAD of Kroos.

I really hate Löw sometimes.

I disagree. Ozil had an excellent game.

Now I feel outnumbered.

I think Ozil's off-the-ball movement was very good and he was creating a lot of space for Muller, who was more dangerous than the previous 2 games imo. Perhaps he didn't give as much excellent through passes as we hoped but he still played well. I remember a sort of "lob pass" in the second half which was very good but someone (Khedira?) missed it.

Speaking of Khedira, he's been playing very well but he's also become much more offensive, so Kroos could be worth a shot. But there's no real reason to drop Khedira.

Yes, definitely a flick

I haven't yet understood exactly what it is, but before the team scores and keeping the pressure, it's ok but as soon Germany scores, there a period of sudden slump of form and shape and from then on, there is this nagging feeling that they're going to suffer the equilizer very soon

This maybe a result of the wasted chances but, i hope that this gets resolved soon. i don't want to have a replay of the 'final-that-cannot-be-named' that was played nearly a month ago.

No u r not. And I do feel he is lasting longer than one half time now. I hope he manages to get the stamina for a full game soon; his one touch/blind passes are dangerously good.

And before we raise the Gomiss alarm again; can we at least recon Mueller's two sitting duck misses. Don't get me wrong, he did have one very good game afterwards, but those two could have sealed it before supper...
