Good display from Germany. Really glad we got a good win.
Lehmann was crap. It hadn't been 1 minute when he made a blunder and almost gave Poland a chance to score. He later on made some decent saves. I hope he doesn't get nervous again. He can't be so clumsy.
Lahm was fucking awesome. Really liked his game. I felt Metzelder, Mertesacker & Lehmann need to communicate more. I felt they weren't getting on the same page at times.
Jansen was not good. All Poland's attacks came from his flank. If he hopes to keep up a starting position, he better get focused.
Fritz was actually pretty good. I liked his performance a lot. Frings & Ballack solid as always. Podolski was pure class. Scored 2 goals and wasn't even up front as striker! Lol. That's what's cool about putting Podolski on the left. He has the enough accuracy to make his chances count. Loved the 2nd goal. Though i felt bad seeing him kinda inner-struggled taking the fact he scored against his country of birth.
Klose did a good match. I know he should have really taking the opportunity by himself but i think he surprised us all giving it to Gomez. It even surprised him! I feel Klose should really evaluate the situations. If Gomez was a bit more open, then yeah, give the pass. If not, have a crack at it. But oh well.
I didn't agree bringing Schweinsteiger in for Fritz. He was having a really good match. I would have subbed Schweinsteiger for Jansen. Send Lahm to the other side and drop Fritz more at the back. Leaving Schweini on the right side of the field.
Anyways, good win. But we still need to improve.
Jansen needs to start playing better. He's our most defensive player in that position and was the most vulnurable during the whole game.
We really need to work on our crosses. We wasted many corners and set pieces because of that.
Anyways, good effort! Looking forward to our next match. If we win it, we can have the luxury of resting some key players and give other players a chance to prove their worth.
