    Hansi Flick wasn’t the problem, but he definitely had too much trust in Kimmich and should have done more to keep Kroos.

    My opinion keeping player like Hummels, Boateng, and Muller away from the team after 2018 really hurt the identity of the team. I actually think that the 35 Yr olds Hummels and Boateng would be a better pair than anything we have seen so far, obviously never going to happen. This group can still win the Euros but it will have to come from an entire overhall within german football. The question is can Nagelsmann be the one to orchestrate this change.

      Boateng can’t even find a club.

        He turned down Everton in hopes that he could end his career in Bayern. It’s not a lack of ability, it’s his on going court case.

        But the point I am making is that those two are very consistent and predictable players, you know what they will bring. The rest of the crew is so inconsistent with the exception of Rudiger who is mostly on point.
