Whats up with Khedira these days by the way?

Whats up with Khedira these days by the way?

He's coming of a cruciate knee ligament injury, at the time he wasn't going to make the World Cup so he's recovered well. Still a risk.

Play Reus up top. arty1:

Who cares about the chokers! Not me.

Thanks for your completely irrelevant input.

 

[AnfieldEd]

No Kruse is a disappointment.

[DonAK]

No Schmelzer. Didn't see that coming.

 

[DennyCrane]

According to the Bundesjogi, Schmelzer still has a few minor injuries and didn't train much in the training camp because of that.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

No Schmelzer. Didn't see that coming.

Durm's already better anyway. Klopp will realize that too at some point.

Klose

Only one striker? Somehow I can't see that ending well for Germany. I love Klose, he's a great player, but he's old and won't be able to play every single game.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

If I was Low, here's what I'd do

----------------------------Neuer---------------------------------
------Boateng-----Mertesacker-------Hummels--------Lahm---------
----------Schweinsteiger/Kroos--------------Khedira----------------
-------Reus-----------------Ozil---------------Gotze/Podolski------
----------------------------Muller----------------------------------

I doubt Klose will start too much if at all, if he'll play it'll be off the bench, and out of Germany's midfielders Muller is hands down the best one to play false nine, Gotze and Reus are both better out wide where they can dribble and cut inside with space, while Ozil is better behind everyone playing throughballs for people to run onto. I think in some games Podolski might play instead of Gotze or Schurrle, just because Gotze-Ozil-Reus can be too one-dimensional. Kroos should only start if Schweinsteiger is unfit, otherwise not a chance.

Gotze will play there

Well, there's Götze who can play as a false-9 or Müller who can play as a Müller.
