Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

That absolute fraud of a footballer Ozil going though :lol:

 

Özil isn't a fraud like. He's a very good footballer. He's just very inconsistent.

 

It's not consistency. He just hasn't got the stomach for it most of the time.

He won the German national team's player of the year like 5 years in a row or something, he's a core part of that squad and has been since they came through in 2010.

 

:thup: For Germany he can just float about as well and do what he does best. Doesn't need to be winning challenges in midfield as their midfield is outplayed as with Arsenal

Ozil when  good is great but no way deserves to go ahead of Sane who has been incredible this season

 

Oh absolutely, there's no way Sané wouldn't get into the other 31 teams squads.

 

Can we dress him up as Jordan Henderson and take him instead?

With his new hairstyle I doubt that's possible.

Seems mental that Sane isn't going, maybe just shows the amount of great teams that Germany could put out.

 

They aren't as strong as is being made out imo.

I feel like this is the case for a lot of teams, Brazil for example IMO are heavily reliant on Neymar for creativity.

 

But that's international football for you and partly what makes it interesting for most.

Team in picking players to field their best team and not their eleven best individuals shocker.

 

Whilst that's very true (and has been England's problem for donkeys years), a squad is 23 players not 11. You've got to take him. :lol:

They play him in the middle apparently and he's just not been very good with less time and space when on the ball according to German press.

 

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 :lol: 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.

The players that have gone ahead of him are hardly scrubs. The argument that is being made is he hasn't (yet) starred while playing for Germany, which is probably justified.

 

Looking at it from an outside perspective, he's a quicker player than any of their other options, and would offer something different to Draxler or Brandt. That seems the biggest issue in his non-selection. However if their system doesn't really fit a player of his skillset then perhaps it's not worth it.

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.
