Link doesn't work?
My opinion of Schweinsteiger lowered quite considerably last night - so obviously, openly fearful when Robben was taking the penalty and then choking on his own penalty.
He had a monster game.
Not monster enough.
Nobody has ever won a game on their own, despite what people may say.
Course not 🙂 but some player's performances, the opportunities they seize within a game, can be enough to take a team over the top and make the difference between winning and losing.
Well, he missed a pen and other than that was the best player on the pitch for 120mins. Can't say I see where you are coming from in your initial statement, but okay.
Mertesacker, Schweinsteiger and Podolski now that would be some German spine.
Kagawa permanent and Sahin on loan in case Wilshere doesn't make it back next season.

I love Schweini but I don't think he was even the best German midfielder on the pitch yesterday.
Ashley Cole and Mikel were better to be honest, but I was stretching my point. No way were Kroos or Muller better though.
I thought Kroos and Muller were both better than Schweini. But yeah, my opinion of him didn't lower at all. He's world class.
Really not a fan of players stuttering their run-ups, by the way.
I thought Schweinsteiger was better than both kroos and Muller, who were both a bit wasteful. Schweinsteiger is their best player though, he knits everything together for them and invariably when he plays well (as he does most of the time) they play well.
I thought Schweinsteiger was disappointing, and I've wanted him here since Euro 08.

And Lahm.
I want Sami Khedira, he would perfect for us

i'd agree with this. though maybe sign sahin permanently regardless of wilshere's status.
Word is that he is only available for loan (for now at least).
Maybe with an option to sign him permanently next summer for a bit of money? I just don't get the impression that Mourinho rates Sahin very much. He seems to prefer more physical players. Even Özil has struggled to make an impact for long spells this season, irrespective of what his stats might suggest.
