With the international break now upon us, it’s time to shift our focus from Bayern Munich to Germany. Hansi Flick has made a winning start to life as Germany coach, and will want to continue gaining momentum in the buildup to next year’s world cup. However, there’s a lot of things to do and not much time to do it — he’ll have to be quick about his work. This October international break is the last one for a long time. 

Here are the talking points before the game:

Admitting the shameful fact that I know nothing about Romania. 

How Hansi Flick might line up the team — formation, players, and so on. 

The Timo Werner issue, and how Flick may be planning to revive him. 

The midfield rotation problem — technically not a problem for Germany, but a headache for Bayern fans. 

Potential options in defense. Could Niklas Sule be moved to right-back? Or will it be Jonas Hofmann?

Who will play left-back for Germany? How about ... Leroy Sane?
