    I was optimistic over and over again and I got disappointed over and over again.

    For now, I lost all hope that these guys can grow together as a team. They just don’t fit. Literally every player has been tested in all possible formations and tactics. We even tried „the best coaches“ we have.

    The puzzle just doesn’t solve. We have good players, not as good as one generation before, especially in the Defense which is horrific right now tbh, but midfield and attack has great potential, at least in theory. But it seems they can’t be formed as a working unit.

    Maybe we have to accept and wait until it gets better. Our gems Musiala and Wirtz still have over a decade left. Plenty of time to form a team around them.

      They could fit they just need some body to set them up to do the basics. This complicated wing back rubbish is idiotic. Just play 4-4-2 and focus on the basics.

      It can work, look at Voller’s set up v France when they did exactly that.

      The DfB made the appointment though so they are going to have to live with the humiliation next summer.
