Germany coach Joachim Low: Four goals against Gibraltar not enough for the World Champions

Joachim Low very unhappy with Germany’s performances in the European qualifiers so far

Berlin, Nov 15 (IANS) Germany manager Joachim Low was critical of his side's performance despite strolling to a comfortable 4-0 win over minnows Gibraltar in the 2016 European Championship qualifiers.

Thomas Muller scored twice before Mario Gotze’s third and a Yogan Santos own goal sealed a comfortable win in Nuremberg on Friday.

The victory lifted the World champions, from third to the second spot in Group D of the qualification round, level on points with Scotland and the Republic of Ireland with seven points from four matches.

Germany had lost and drawn their previous two games and had been criticised for their below-par performances.

"I am everything but satisfied with this. The team did not do what we wanted to do. We wanted to play as world champions and four goals are too few," Low said.

Gibraltar, UEFA's newest member nation, have lost all four qualifiers and conceded 21 goals without scoring but coach Allen Bula was delighted with his team.

"It's a great result and we really needed something like this 0-4, I could not have asked for more," he said.

Poland won 4-0 in Georgia to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the group.
