#3: Lack of venom upfront :

Since the retirement of Miroslav Klose, Germany has failed to find a goalscorer or a poacher good enough to do the job. Miroslav Klose is the record scorer in the World Cups and Germany has struggled to find goals in his absence.

Timo Werner was highly touted as a successor but he is still young and not mature enough to take up the responsibility as evident in his recent performances. His extraordinary pace is key in pushing defenders back but he is yet to be as efficient in front of the goal as his predecessors.

Players like Mario Gomez and Podolski are not getting any younger and Germany are in desperate need of a forward. There is a distinct lack of fluidity in their attacks and they were often rendered toothless in big matches due to their inefficiency.
