Flip Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 What about Max Kruse? That German team is f***ing stacked in defense and midfield IMO. In defense? Really? Lahm is the only one that really stands out, their other fullback position is weak and a central defending pair of Mertesacker & Hummels feels to slow and clumsy, and Boateng isn't really that good. As for their midfield Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Khedira, Bender even Lahm can play there in the deeper positions and then Reus, Özil, Götze, Muller, Draxler, Schurrle in the offensive ones. Can really see this team scoring loads of goals in every game. Really hope they do well, not a typical german side, really love this generation of players they've had. No more Ballack or Frings.

The College Dropout Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Loved Ballack. I agree the CB and main strikers aren't the best. They have lots of depth at CB of good-very good CB's. Random question: Who would people have as the top 5ish CB's in the world? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Think Ramos is better than Kompany, Chiellini, Hummels - most due to being better in big matches. The reason I ask, is I believe there's a lack of brilliant CB's these days. Chiellini? Absolutely miles away from a Nesta or Cannavaro. Kompany's never even played in a CL QF. I would rank John Terry higher now in the world, than I would have 5-8 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rank John Terry higher now in the world, than I would have 5-8 years ago. Only one real brilliant CB in the world at the moment, but think there are some very underrated out there like Barzagli and Benatia (both who for me have been the best in the Serie A, granted I've not watched enough to give a valid opinion, but from the little I've seen). Ramos, and Kompany have both been at fault for so much but they have a higher ceiling than most. I'd probably say my top five would be Thiago Silva, Barzagli, Benatia and then anyone of Hummels, Dante, Koscielny (although I know many prefer Mertesacker), Ramos, Pepe, Kompany, Chiellini, Terry/Cahill, Skrtel (amount of goals scored only ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been decently impressed by Cahill this season tbf, don't know if it's been because Chelsea has defended with 20 players, but he really gives his all like Terry used too. Think he's better than Terry personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Problem with Germany is as mentioned their CFs and defence as a whole leaves a lot to be desired, while they are good in midfield as anyone not called Spain its also a problem area. As the manager still doesn't have a clue what the best 4 or 5 players are. Unlike the other contenders they don't have a settled team which will end up being a problem. My first outlandish prediction for WC 2014: They won't make the Semi's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
