Eco Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 So genuine question, how or what would you have done differently tonight? Obviously Gnabry was awful, but I see what he was trying to do. Muller missed the absolute chance of a lifetime, Havertz played well and did about as good as can be expected. Hummels has been awful, but I didn't think he had a terrible game. Kimmich was locked down, but that isn't a massive shock.... But I'm curious as to what you all would have done different. Quote

Play with more courage. We definitely had better players than England on the pitch today individually. Should have formed a braver and more attacking unit out of this. Except they always played the safe pass today, and passed it back to Rüdiger, Hummels or Neuer. No risky through ball, no courage, no confidence. I also never understood how Löw didn't nominate Ridle Baku who is probably the best German right back right now. He could have played in that position and we would have Kimmich in central midfield. But no, Löw kept playing Kroos and Gündogan through almost the whole tournament (except today), which just lacks fighting power. Plenty of better squad selections were available throughout. Like against France I would definitely have used a proper DM like Emre Can against France's attacking side. Ah well, it's over, and now we have to see how Hansi Flick does things. Löw was just too stubborn. I know we won the WC in 2014, but I still maintain the thought that we didn't win it because of him, but despite him. I think a REALLY good coach would have won more titles with Germany in 15 years. 1 3 Quote

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted June 30, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) First off the system doesnt suit the personnel. Who benefits from a 3 4 3? Literally only Gosens. Our back 3 looked vulnerable the entire time, there wasnt enough dynamic play from the wings outside of the Portugal match. And most importantly Germany's absolute strength is through the midfield and this system does absolutely nothing for us. Secondly playing Kroos Gündogan has never looked good. Where has Gündogan impressed all season for City? in the 10 slott..... that plays to his strengths. Literally the best midfield 3 we could field is Kimmich, Goretzka, Gündogan and I dont think anyone would really fight me on this. Move to a back 4. Tommys right, it should have been Baku here and as soon as he wasnt selected you just knew its because Kimmich is playing RB. I dont like it. Im obviously bias but Kimmich is the best 6 is the world for me hands down. I get that hes a capable rightback but you shouldnt be moving him out of position when there are other options. He can have far more influence on the game in the middle of the park and thats absolutely where we should have been imposing our will. Idgaf play Sülinho at RB, play Ginter OR SELECT THE BEST FUCKING RB IN GERMANY FOR YOUR SQUAD. Lastly the false 9 garbage was just that. Absolute nonsense. Literally the golden generation of German football and Löw manages one world cup win, and to his credit he tried his best to fuck up that squad selection then as well. Im not having any of the bullshit giving him an ounce of credit for anything. This team is still to talented to look this feeble and I cant wait to see the stark contrast when Flick takes charge.

londonerlilie Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 I've got to agree, from my view they were literally only playing defensively. From where I was standing I thought Müller made it, but that moment passed as quickly as it came. It was just too little. I was getting frustrated by the fact that we were only passing it on the backline and nothing else. I'm honestly so glad that Löw is done. Quote

It'll be night and day the way the team plays... hopefully. I wonder what he could have done with this set of players in this tournament. Quote

There's the usual dodgy illegal streams that don't work properly most of the time. Here in Germany it's mostly shown on a streaming platform called Magenta TV from Telekom. But other than that I have no idea. It's actually rather difficult to watch it for Germans as well unless you are a Magenta TV subscriber. https://www.magentasport.de/ Quote

I'm not sure you can watch it though not being in Germany, unless you VPN in. I'm tired of paying for streams as I have too many anyways, but would love to catch the 2nd and 3rd divisions this year.

I did have a sub for the Argentina top division that was televised in Spanish and I watched the hell out of that two seasons ago. Would like to delve a little deeper into the German leagues. I have a ton of subs out there (ESPN+ for Bundesliga, Peacock for EPL, CBS for Serie A) and I need to drop some of them. Quote

ESPN+ has Bundesliga and Serie A here in the States .One sub for two great leagues.

ESPN+ won't be carrying Serie A this season... they've switched to CBS iirc. They've picked up La Liga to replace Serie A, which is a nice surprise. Need to find a team in Spain to follow now. La Liga is one of the few leagues that I've not followed much. 1 Quote
