I think Werner up front will actually be one of their strengths and Kimmich is a quality player.
But apart from that, Neuer obviously hasn't played for a long time, same as Reus and Boateng is struggling for fitness. And then Hummells, Ozil and Muller have had poor seasons by their high standards. Khedira is 31 now and not as good or mobile as he was a few years ago and they lack a left back of top quality.
Obviously they're still strong and will get through the group stage but for me they're certainly behind Spain, Brazil and France. Low has a lot of faith and trust in the old guard but I feel he made a mistake not picking Sane. Looking forward to see if Goretzka gets decent game time as he is really exciting.
Fair points; but has Özil ever had a really good season though

We will see.
PS agree about Kimmich. He is also useful in that he can, and has, played at a high level in the centre of midfield and central defence.
