    Algeria is making Germans worry.

    Question to the germans on the forum: Why is Lahm keep being played in defensive midfield? Does Low hate him at fullback? Because playing 4 centerbacks in defense is cause for concern. Boateng has played decent at right back, but still not as good as some of your bench can play. So why is Lahm not playing at fullback?

    Not a german, still can answer: Looks like Lahm is playing fine at DMC also they have no one else to play there. Boateng is a VERY GOOD RB.

    By the way, today Boateng is playing at CB and Mustafi (who is an actual RB so no 4 CBs on the pitch) is playing at RB.

    Im aware of todays game. Its not just this game for Lahm though, Lahm playing okay, but okay is not good enough for Germany. Im saying Khedira in DMC, move Lahm back to fullback. Boateng is fine, but Howedes hasn't impressed me at all

    Khedira has been injured for the most of the season and performed quite poor in the last games that's why he's benched. Gotta agree on Howedes though, even Jansen could do better.

    Edit: or actually, since Jansen is not called up, Durm should play in LB.

    Seeing as I am a BVB supporter, I know all about Durm, and would love to see him playing. I just think if Germany is playing sloppy it would help to put people in their natural positions (Technically I would not consider fullback to be Durm's natural position though)

    Yeah I wasn't going to question the Mustafi thing because frankly I know NOTHING about him. Ginter is probably better with the BVB guys then him, but I don't get paid the money to make the decisions

    Also attack minded fullbacks would help the stale German attack currently
