What do you call a defensive player when you already have groestka, kroos, khedira and Co. You know German are not a defensive team, same as Spain. It's not justified leaving sane out. Sane is like a starter for mancity. Mancity were in the last 8 of the UCL luckily they escaped Liverpool, they'd be in the finals who knows??

Who is Brandt and where are luverkusen for crying out loud. I think playing at the confederations cup played a big part here. Also playing at your home country. Sterling, iwobi are all part of the World Cup why shouldn't sane?? Even a country like Spain would have taken sane over aspas or atleast dropped someone for sane. This isn't fair on him Ataal but it's life anyway.
