No Hummels is insane for the squad, but I guess it is pretty cemented that Rüdiger and Tah is the go-to CB pairing? Kimmich and Mittelstädt continue as well?
As you say, not having Brandt is also crazy, what has he done to deserve that I don’t mind starting Kroos in a team where everybody else runs for him, he is still stellar on the ball, but off the ball he’s become a bit of a traffic cone… Müller, Gündogan and Kroos is a bit of a retirement home but 33-34 years of age is less of an issue in NTs I feel, whilst experience is a treasure. On the other hand it is at home turf…
You think Kai will play at 9 all tournament now? Great season behind him and all that.
If experience is gold, why the fuck Nagelsmann pick Koch over Hummels?
Not like Koch or Anton are young like Pavlovic and good for them to take a trip to earn NT experience, right?
Mats is in top fit, and full of experience. This is absurd.
I don’t know what their spare plan is.
Adeyemi is also a player that worth a call over Muller or Pavlovic. We already lost Gnabry, one Sane as speedy winger is not enough. Furich more like a Musiala back up and not a true winger you need on your bench.
So we have a bunch of work horse, dark horse got selected
One thing sure, as you said Kai won’t be midfield anymore, in 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation.
There is no midfield place for him.
He has to fight that #9 spot with Fullkrug.
Sane or Wirtz better not get injured, or Nagelsmann will regret not selecting a speedy wide player and a backup CAM.
