Subscriber Coma+ 1,772 Posted September 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm going to keep beating this drum until I see changes. Stop calling up the same fucking fools that are underperforming. Why are Schlotterbeck, Rudiger, Gnabry, Muller, Can, etc. still in this team? If you're going to lose then at least be blooding the newest batch of players so that there is some semblance of chemistry between them between now and next summer. And fuck all the umlauts... I can't be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Coma+ 1,772 Posted September 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just for the hell of it I put together a 23-man squad of players that I would pick. Some are incumbents but others deserve a shot at least. Maybe it's a stupid list, but this team needs some grit. Attack: Füllkrug, Ducksch, Werner, Burkhardt, Adeyemi, Moukoko, Hofmann Midfield: Brandt, Kimmich, Neuhaus, Arnold, Wirtz, Musiala Defense: Bella-Kotchap, Günter, Knoche, Andrich, Ginter, Raum, Henrichs, Wolf GK: Ter Stegen, Baumann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,645 Posted September 11, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2023 How's Rüdiger doing for Real Madrid? I don't always get the criticism he gets from some. Personality and player wise, he's definitely someone I'd want on my team. 5 minutes ago, Coma said: Just for the hell of it I put together a 23-man squad of players that I would pick.

Also, I'd add Hany Mukhtar from Nashville in the MLS. The guy is unreal. Don't know much about Rudiger. All I know is that the CB pairings haven't been working out.

Rucksackfranzose 4,442 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Was about time. This team is probably as terrible as the Euro teams 2000, 2004 respectively were. Hopefully this means the end of this midfield/attack and false 9 nomination crap.

To be fair, that's only because Erich Ribbeck and Rudi Völler had, contrary to Flick, the decency to resign after the horrible Euro tournaments 2000 and 2004, respectively.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,564 Posted September 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2023 Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite to replace Hansi Flick and is being discussed within the DFB. Bayern would demand a fee for Nagelsmann but would probably give the DFB a 'discount' compared to a club. No contact between DFB and Nagelsmann at the moment as the focus for now is on the game against France. Rudi Völler emphasized that the DFB are looking for a long-term solution. An emergency solution like van Gaal is unlikely. A foreign coach like Zidane is unrealistic due to the language barrier. Rumours at the DFB that Nagelsmann could have Sandro Wagner as assistant coach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Coma+ 1,772 Posted September 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2023 An article I read mentioned Oliver Glasner or Mattias Sammer. Those aren't bad shouts actually. Sammer was hard as nails and might instill some of that grit that's needed. Glasner did well at Frankfurt before he fell out with the board there. Not sure if he could handle all the egos of a NT though. I think I'd lean toward Sammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be okay with Glasner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,259 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Lows squad selections seemed so braindead, strikerless teams attacking with no focal point or direction, players playing out of position in absolute headscratchers, and Flick seemed like he would be such a breath of fresh air after a good 6 or so years of Low falling off the wagon. Instead it was groundhog day, I'm just glad this happened quickly. Now can we raid Poland for some strikers and get back to greatness? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely caught lightning in a bottle. Part of me thinks thats why he took the DFB job to just get out while ahead. The second season we could see the cracks in his high line with some regularity. TBF to him he locked in our starting 11 and basically ran with it while with the DFB he could not settle on a lineup to save his life. Constant tinkering with personal and setup seemingly.
