Schweinsteiger and Lahm were crucial to the mental strength of the team. Replacing players like that with money is hardly possible anymore, hardly any left at all.
Seems like that the generation around Neuer/Müller and co are too spoiled/soft to get such mental strength.
Exactly what I wanted to write. We have a team of pussys, we were losing with barely a shot on goal and noone was reacting, noone was angry and trying to move things arround. Schweinsteiger was massive in this aspect. The worst player off all in that aspect must be Thiago.
Sadly I don't see a player that might replace him on the long or short term. I was thinking that Goretzka could be the next big thing for us, but it looks like he won't be unfortunatly.
I also would have expected more from Kovac. Sure the players aren't performing well, but I don't see anything interesting in our playing style since he arrived. It's so fucking boring, the only difference to Ancelotti is that we are winning a bit more games maybe, but I don't see a big difference..
