Too many false 9s

Schwiensteiger? He's hardly kicked a ball. Good to see the Hun selecting players on reputation not form just like we do.

 

[Ashtonian]

Its a fix. Not a single everton player in there.

 

[Billy Dean]

Defense doesn't look much to write home about. Bit of a weakness there I reckon

 

[ijjysmith]

Isn't that like one striker?

They're mad that lot. Totally mad.

 

[jal123]

The trouble is the best striker in Germany is a Pole.

Can/do they ever use Muller as a 9?

Probs. And we'll see every hipster team in the world playing with no strikers.

Like us when Jogi takes over!

That's how he'll get around Lukaku leaving, he'll just play a false 9

Think he's been a "false" footballer for about ten weeks.

New liverpool signing Karius no where near the squad.

New liverpool signing Karius no where near the squad.

Because Germany have 1000 boss keepers.

Karius is a good keeper.

Muller, Podolski and Mario Gomez?

 

[Zatara]

Karius is a good keeper.

He is a good keeper. But nowhere near the level of Leno for example nor Ter Stegen...

Amazed they didnt spend a fortune on a top keeper.
