Bavarian Podcast Works: Postgame Show — Germany 3-3 Ukraine (Friendly)

<p>Well, that was close. Germany narrowly avoid defeat to the mighty Ukraine despite playing at home and going up 1-0 early in the game. Hansi Flick tested out a back three and it reaped dividends, only not for the team that it was intended to. Germany seem like they have a million problems and a lot of them will be familiar to fans of Bayern Munich, but also brand new ones that are unique to the international setup. </p> <p>Here are our talking points from the game:</p> <ul> <li>The back three doesn’t work — please stop using it, Hansi. </li> <li>Did Joshua Kimmich use Lewandowski’s stutter-step penalty technique?</li> <li>The horrible state of the German fullback roster. Should Kimmich be sent back to the flanks? </li> <li>A concerning lack of chances created by the German attack. The missing factor is left as an exercise for the listener. </li> <li>Leon Goretzka is being unfairly maligned for his performance. </li> <li>Does Hansi Flick see Kai Havertz as an alternative to Niclas Fullkrug at striker? </li> <li>You cannot trust a Borussia Dortmund player on the national team. </li> <li>A suggestion for what kind of lineup Germany should use at the Euros. </li> </ul> <p>Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
