Astafjevs Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Germany aren't producing fullbacks. That's not something that's easy to solve. I think Klostermann is their rightback, the RB Leipzig guy. Personally I think they would have been better going with him or Kimmich at rightback in a four, and then going from there. Rather than changing formation because there's no elite fullback. Klostermann plays Champions League football, and although that doesn't mean he's amazing, might as well use him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmich must play as a defensive midfielder. He is a total waste as a right back, so thats a no-no for Flick hopefully. And go for Ginter as a right back as he is 10 times better than Klostermann.

Astafjevs Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I think he's brilliant at rightback. Bayern won the Champions League with him playing there. Under Flick as well. Obviously he's great as a midfielder too. But if Germany have more options in central midfield than rightback, then needs must and I think they should keep him at rightback until there's someone better. At the very least he's going to be backup rightback because I have no idea who is behind Klostermann. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinji Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) schadenfreud At first glance I read the one from Jaaack and the text one from Stuart, as being sarcastic and saying it wasn't a great thing to be laughing at a crying kid.

Marc Albrighton Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I usually find adults crying over football pretty hilarious regardless of who they support but i think anyone with a mental age over 16 will agree that finding a 9 year old girl crying funny and calling her things like **** is just actually pretty ****ing weird.

craigcwwe Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah although Low did phase Muller out after the last WC only to bring him back into the fold for this Euro's I do think Flick will keep him around for at least one more tournament, the 2022 WC. He did well under him at Bayern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flick could go a few different directions, so Muller might be out, or maybe not. Muller had a resurgence under him at Bayern and I'd expect Flick to play more progressive football than Low. The shorter turnaround on Qatar could also play a factor on him staying in the squad. If I were in Flick's position, the first thing I'd do is move Kimmich inside and figure out my RB/RWB situation. Such a waste. Klinsmann was asked about him pre match yesterday, what he'd do with him in terms of where he'd play him and he said he'd use him as a no.6 fwiw. He's one of those really smart tactical players with very good technicals etc so could perform to a high standard in two or three different positions.

The Amazing Dale Watkins Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Kimmich was needed as RB because of the Klostermann injury. Sure, he's more valuable in midfield, but there are a lot of other players who can play that part. I mean, simply judging by their form for their club, Kroos, Gündogan, Goretzka, and Havertz all should be starting. Gündogan got rightfully dropped after a poor showing in the group stage, but are you going to drop Goretzka or Havertz (assuming Kroos is untouchable) to make room for Kimmich and then put someone like Ginter on the right?

Guest Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Wenger nailed it before the tournament and it's why Löw should have gone awhile ago. Flick will bring Germany back some belief and tactical nous again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amazing Dale Watkins Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 In his parting press conference, Löw said the squad didn't have enough time to gel for the tournament and that other nations have more stability because they've settled on a squad and system for a longer time. Didn't mention that that's 100% on him. Nobody asked him to throw out Müller, Hummels and Boateng and then reactivate two of them a month before a major tournament. Nobody asked him to then fudge with the 4 in the back Germany used for the past couple of years to accommodate Hummels. The system isn't even that bad, but the squad clearly wasn't very used to it.

You could put him just about anywhere and he'd be a good player, but he's a WC-elite #6. The few weaknesses he has are more limiting at RB/RWB than inside.
