Ozil and Goetze again ineffective. You wonder if a light will ever go on in Jogi's head regarding Goetze as a forward..
I don't think Goetze in any scenario can be a stiker going up vs two central defenders twice his size, he doesn't even have the pace to be a counter attacking open space striker.
No, but he can dribble. He's not going to outmuscle anyone.

A small dribbler like him is basically born to play behind a striker who opens space for him. I don't know if Loew really thinks he has the same ability as Messi (which is delusional) or if he simply can't stand the idea of having been proven wrong, who knows, either way it renders Germany's attack toothless.
Put Gomez in already or move Müller to striker and bring in Sane as right winger. Götze up front is not working in this setup.
How about Oezil is the one that is blamed? He's playing in his best position, and has been ineffective for the second straight game.
Gomez might be Löw's last solution, so Müller might be a realistic option.
Our defence is way better that against Ukraine.

So Löw reads HF. Müller takes Götze's spot.
