Hell no. Same as the Holland game, zero delivery for RVP/Robben, change striker, still no delivery to striker, lose game.

No delivery = changes in midfield not upfront.

Draxler, Gotze or Podolski on for Schurrle, Ozil or Kroos and re-arrange as required depending on the change. Not sure if Podolski is fit, or just on the bench for the sake of being named on in the squad. If he is, Pod for Schurrle, Gotze for Ozil probably what I'd do.

Can't risk Klose running around for the full 120 though, he's an old man - he'd have a heart attack!

Tired quality player over waste of space, any day. Have him barely move just run when needed, would still be more of a threat than some of these other guys.

Still reckon that sticking Muller up front is equally as much of a threat.

It would also do wonders for my top goalscorer bet on him!

Looked very, very rusty. Again, though, I think it's half rustiness, half the fact that the Argentinian midfield is so much less creative than what he plays with at club level.

Sure, but I'd prefer Klose on as well than leave one of those other three on. I would potentially look to bring on Gotze and Pod, play Pod down the left, Gotze right, middle have Kroos or Ozil with Bastian and have Muller upfront with Klose maybe.

When the creative midfield three have effectively not played Muller or Klose in on goal at all throughout the game, that is where I think they have to make a change.

Lavezzi sub really worked out huh. I thought he was the Argie's best player first half.

But in order to take Klose off and moving Muller up front, they'd be changing their midfield...just as it appears they're going to do.
