David28 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any reason or just looking to add freshness? Well, it's all about mobility. So, Podolski, who has a great shot gets subbed for Schürrle, who has a better dribbling ability and can create something more out of nothing than Podolski ever could. Same goes for Reus, who's quicker than Müller and far, far better on the ball when 1-on-1 with the defender. Also, Müller is a player who needs space for himself and often finds that space - against the Greeks he'll have problem finding any space with 10 or 11 men behind the ball. Klose is also tipped to play because of his mobilty. My thoughts on that is a bit different, though. I've always said that Klose is one of Jogi's favourite players - instead of Gomez. So, imo, Löw has been waiting for the first real opportunity to change that back to Klose - after Gomez failed to score against Denmark, the opportunity is there now.

Ketsbaia Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Why take so many risks in a quarter final? Even if its only Greece, it just isnt right. (And yes, it'd also completely fuck up my fantasy team!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I planned to add Gomez into the team, but i havent yet so that doesnt effect me a great deal.... although i might add Klose just for this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Think Löw knows what he's doing personally, so if he really makes those changes it'll has its reasons. Just a rumour? Well, German Sky Sport News got it from three sources and they've got the line-up right every time so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Not much of a risk for me. Schürrle and Reus are improvements and there's not too much between Gomez and Klose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's hardly arrogance to change your squad around man, and it's not as though the replacements are sub standard. Low isn't daft and he will do anything in his power to win the competition, no doubt about that, he isn't going to just piss about for the craic.

Low isn't daft and he will do anything in his power to win the competition, no doubt about that, he isn't going to just piss about for the craic. Exactly. Today Hummels in the paper was quoted saying that Greece could easily win and that they (Germany) are not really that much better than England. He said something along the lines that Germany were lucky with the Lampard "goal" in 2010 and that the 4-1 was a bit lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 They aint dropping Ozil as well are they ? because shit will really go down then Nah, I'm pretty sure Ozil stays. I'd like to see Gotze in that role, but dropping that many offensive starters might be a bit excessive. Reus and Schurrle should perform well in place of Podolski and Muller, neither of whom has been stellar in the tournament. Dropping Gomez is a questionable call, but we all know how well Klose plays for the national side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Squad my arse, you play the best team you have, you do not rotate in the quater final of major competition like this. If you are qualifying and you are already there, then by all means but not now. Its an arrogant and ridiculous thing to do, i hope Greece bum them.
