To further this, when he's played centrally for Germany he neither scores or assists. If he's not going as an out and out winger, then why take him?
He'll be wasted.
Why don't they play him in his best position?
You could argue they do and don't at the same time He plays across the attacking 3 in a 4231, but they are generally quite a narrow trio and he's encouraged to stay inside. His best play for City is often hugging the touch line. Even when he played in a 433 for Germany recently, he's required to cut inside rather than stay wide from the LW.
Cutting in from LW onto his right foot is hardly promoting his talent. It's a contradiction to his club form.
Bless him.
Fair enough, tbf it's not like I've been watching the German qualifying games or owt.
Still think he would've been a useful sub to have, at the very least.
