Why difnt kiessling get called up
well a year ago, or even half a year ago i would have agreed and i'm pretty sure i actually said that he deserves to get another shot in the national team. right now he's not in such a good form, he had a weak 2nd half of the season (scored 9 in his first 14 games, and only 6 in the last 20) and he's not a player who can just compensate form with class tbh... still, imo he would have been a decent choice. just like volland, lasogga or maybe kruse.
since gomez was injured almost all season i can understand he wasn't picked but we just don't have a really good striker except from him and klose, that's the simple truth. and if a good one isn't available at least pick a decent one as backup imo... instead he wastes the extremely gifted götze as "false 9" where he proved to be utter useless... it's so frustrating, really...
