At times in the 1st half Algeria had a backline of 6 players camped on the edge of the box
Day 18: Germany vs. Algeria
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Schürrle isn't bad obviously but how is that gonna change Löw's bullshit tactics. Feck me he's so lost!
So Löw brings a fast winger that won't get usable passes from our midfield? That'll solve it all, surely.
The only passes Mustafi ever does are passes back to Neuer...
Would love to see Al Jazeera get a win here.
Haha, agreed.
Neuer is in a long-distance relationship with his penalty area.
Yeah but a fast winger could possibly get around the back of the Algerian defensive line which at times has up to 6 players in a row.
Apparently according to didi hamman Lahm demands to be played in centre mid and if it is true i would drop him, he is just not a centre mid, he is getting caught out time and time again, imagine if it was Benzema coming at the defenders he would crucify them.
Götze was really poor, so him going off for a direct player like Schürrle is not the worst idea. It does not solve any of our glaring problems, though.
Germany starting strong.
Thank God Mustafi didn't score there or we'd have seen him a lot more in this tournament still!!
Mustafi got some nice hops for an FB
Missed opportunity for Mustafi, now he never will be popular.
What a leap!
Shame he sent it right to the keeper.
Shame he sent it right to the keeper.
NEUER! 
Neuer not only our best CB, but playmaker as well. 
Surprised Löw still has that job, with the talent pool Germany have had in his tenure he's never produced
Muller
All-in-one.Neuer not only our best CB, but playmaker as well.
how did Algeria not score from that counter?
Neuer GK/CB/CM
Great second half so far!
Jeez, they had men over there on the right!
Fecking cnut...should have been a red
Clive Tyldesley's spatial awareness is shite.
Neuer not only our best CB, but playmaker as well.
Sad but true.Lahm did well there... RB defending position...
Algeria always attack with at least 4 players trying to get into the box. Reminds me of United in the 90's.
Comedy in our back line. Getting my scotch now. No way can I endure that crap sober.
Man, those pesky Algerians run fast
this is actually true
what a boring move he made, to a team that will win the german league for the next 10 years because they keep on buying all the top players from their rivals.
shame on him
Someone needs to teach teams how to counter attack.
Algeria have wasted too many counters.
Hope Aljazeera get the winner from a corner.
Neuer to score a header in the last minute.
France is so hoping for a german win right now...
Neuer got more tricks than our wingers as well.
As with most non-top teams, they lack the end product unfortunately. Algeria have been much the better side and created many great chances, but Germany will probably end up being more efficient with their chances.
