#4 Lack of proven Goalscorer
Mario Gomez and Timo Werner were the only two strikers picked in the National side for the World Cup. In 2018, their highest goalscorer is Leroy Sane who did not make the World Cup team.
Werner is 22 years old and has displayed an erratic finishing capacity. Whilst his ability is not under doubt, Werner is still learning his trade. Germany has plenty of power on the wings with Reus, Sane, Müller, Brandt and Gnabry as options but are limited up front.
On the International stage, this can prove disastrous. Germany lacks a solid 9 since Miroslav Klose's retirement. Gomez had his moments until even he retired in earlier this year. This has left very limited options.
With Sandro Wagner making himself unavailable the next best goalscorer available is Mark Uth of Schalke, who is with all due respect has yet to prove himself as an elite striker. The same can be said of Nils Petersen who while very solid has not proved good enough to seriously give Werner headaches.
Wingers getting goals is never a replacement for a striker in any successful side.
