Best Germany First XI

Superstone Mariomintsch wrote:Exactly, Kroos might be the most talented player in FM 2011. I don't know about now, but the player in red is still a supersub and reliable benchman, not a definite starter beside Ozil. And Godolski will not make way for Schurrle who I don't think is that much better than Holtby, just play in less competitive post. No Gomez there is the rightest thing though.

Superstone Mariomintsch wrote:Wow yeah, Kroos have more potential than Khedira. But he's just undisputed 1st player off the bench for MF, not Khedira. You need that man to stabilize and lessen the burden of the attackers. You absolutely need him against tougher teams, especially if you play the newest 3-3-3-1 (nice formation btw) which could be the best formation after the next 6 months. Kroos will also play if you need more ball retention in place of Godolski. Yes, the God will make way to him, not Reus though. Still not good enough that excellent youth Reus is, not even as good as Gotze, who would still have hard time to displace Podolski and Kroos.

In my opinion, you can say that Reus is on a Level with Götze. But the problem is, Reus has a team around him, which was about 20 weeks on the last Bundesliga spot last year and the frist team which was supposed to be religated, and Götze had the championship winner team around him.

Reus is just another type of player, more like a mixture of Podolski/Götze/Schürle

Okay then I admit I didn't follow Reus close enough. He might be as good as Gotze but he's older so that may change for 2014, not the Euro though. But yeah, your nation only not stacked in fullback and striker. Everywhere else leads to envy for other countries and love for such weak fussball-ing country such as mine.

Don't be mad

Zealous wrote:The thing is I like Kroos, I've said so multiple times, but Khedira is great at making any team he plays in balanced. He'll run all day for you and that'll make your CB's look like gods as a result.

Kroos should play higher up the pitch IMO so his competition is Muller or Gotze. My opinion.

Zealous wrote:Khedira isn't a defensive midfielder. He's a CM, what I meant was that he makes the midfield's job easier with intelligent runs and pressing.

Tactically Khedira is a player every coach would like to use. Of course Kroos is a talent so him starting for Germany wouldn't surprise me but I think managers like Lowe and Mourinho appreciate players like Khedira who are willing to do the running for the team.

Considering Mr Piggy cant go on for ever and despite all the talent coming through none of them have the skillset to take over from Mr Piggy apart from Kroos.

Superstone Mariomintsch wrote:Yup, Perotta in MF was key for Italy in 2006 and not ADP or Montolivo or Fiore or other attacking midfielders there you see. Please man, Kroos is awesome, but you need the beard-less Tunisian born Khedira in midfield. Okay?
