He had some problem with his ankle before this game, but that honestly doesn't explain his bad passing game... To be honest he had only one good game so far and he should maybe rest for a while. In this condition Kroos would be far more efficient.
I use this post to write my little review about the team:
Pro:
Reus - fantastic performance and my player of the match. Caused lots of trouble on the right wing
Özil - finally showed his playmaker abilities. Was everywhere on the pitch but among some great passes were also some really ugly ones.
Khedira - For whatever reason the second playmaker in the team and even made a goal ! However I still don't like seeing him in the offense. He's usually making the game extremely slow whenever he touches the ball and his shots are usually ineffective. Also made some horrible passes.
Klose - brilliant start, then disappeared for a while (didn't receive many crosses) and still made his goal. Only 5 goals more to become the best German striker of all time.
Lahm - very active on the left wing.
Con:
Schweinsteiger - as explained above
Boateng - unlucky with the penalty, let Samaras score
The rest of the team was okay.
