>>150051002We are in a very dire state all in all, and Musiala is a gifted player. He is creative and can dribble, can be used on the wings (where we don't have a lot of quality) and on the 10 (where we also have Wirtz). So while it would be dumb to say he alone makes or breaks the German team, he's very important for sure
He's also regarded as Bayern's brand carrier and the biggest asset of the Bundesliga now that Wirtz is gone. That doesn't quite go without actually being good
He's not the best player in the world, but him not being fully fit for the World Cup would be a big blow to Germany's ambitions
For reference, our best formation probably is
Goal: ter Stegen (with Atubolu or some other no-names behind him)
CBs: 2 out of - Tah, Rüdiger, Schlotterbeck
Fullbacks: This is where it gets really grim already. If Kimmich doesn't play on the right side, we will probably have Henrichs as RB and Raum/Mittelstädt as LB
DM: Kimmich + Pavlovic/Stiller ... maybe Goretzka
Wingers and OM: Wirtz, Musiala, Adeyemi/Havertz/Gnabry
Striker: If not Havertz, then Woltemade/Undav/Füllkrug
So ... yeah, we kinda need him
