Not gunna lie, I totally forget that Thiago isn't quite as injury-prone as Ilkay & didn't get hurt in the Real match yesterday. Koke & Saul don't scare me without him; but with him fit that unit should challenge our midfield...but their attack is still a letdown, even with Asensio's ascension
MAtS isn't Neuer yet, but he's always been an even more spectacular shot stopper and at this point, he has few betters as a sweeper other than Neuer (and Sommer). We didn't Neuer to bail us out either, but we had him just in case, and now we have a different world class keeper just in case
We're not going to agree on Boa, he was healthier, but he's still the best CB on the planet when fit.
And yes Ginter, he's made a ton of progress and now is a much more solid depth option than Howedes / Mertesacker / Mustafi / Rudiger where when they had to play for the NT...but he's not on the same level as Süle or Tah, so would be our 5th best CB...with Kimmich able to crush it in a back 3 when we play those shapes.
Werner doesn't have to do much to do more than Klose did at that last WC, and he's a big game player.
Hector doesn't need to be anything to right home about for he & Kimmich to be the best duo we've had since Lahm was in his prime...which he wasn't anymore at that WM, though spending all season at the 6 did help him leave more in the tank for the summer when he did play half the tourney at FB.
As for Toni, club form isn't NT form. Mesut's club form has never prevented him from driving our attacks, and neither has Toni's. I don't worry about them at all, and I only worry about our midfield if Jogi is dumb enough to play Khedira alongside them.
Gundogan literally only didn't play in any tourneys for the NT because of his health. When fit he was a starter for us in qualifiers going back to when he first broke through. If healthy he would've walked in over Schweini just like he'd walk in ahead of Dahoud / Weigl / Geiger / Demirbay / Goretzka / Kramer / Rudy / Meyer, so that is a nonsensical point to bring up. You're either massively over-rating how much Schweini had left in the tank, under-rating the current german midfielders, or some combination of the two.
