Manuel Neuer, goalkeeper:
So far it has not been the captain's EM.
Five goals conceded, but few opportunities to shine.
A flight like the one in the 16th minute is good for you.
However, Neuer also had to keep Sterling's shot.
As a result, the English found it difficult to create good scoring chances, so Neuer was particularly challenged with crosses or long passes and solved these tasks attentively.
In the second half there was initially little employment, but then the English struck twice and Neuer was powerless.

Matthias Ginter, defense (until 86th):
The Gladbacher saw the yellow card early.
There's better news for center-backs, but it didn't bother him.
Unlike against Hungary, Ginter was hardly involved in the build-up of the game.

Mats Hummels, defense:
The DFB-Elf already had some difficulties in the defense of defensive standards at this EM.
Hummels knows this from Dortmund and called on his teammates to be more alert and determined in the duels.
Against England, Hummels set a good example, he cleared his head very well in the center.
Shortly before the break, Hummels was challenged on the ground against Kane - and solved the problem with a strong tackle.
When it came to goals, Hummels didn’t get into the duels in the center, but the mistakes happened beforehand.

Antonio Rüdiger, defense:
His mission was a bit on the brink, as Rüdiger had to fight a cold for a day or two.
In the first half, his appearance looked as if he hadn't completely got the tiredness out of his body in his 45th international match.
A failed solo run in the build-up could have ended badly, but the English did not use the space available.
After the break, Rüdiger showed what he is capable of with the combination of duel and build-up behavior.
After a strong conquest of the ball, he initiated a counterattack via Havertz, which Werner ended too timidly (58th).

Joshua Kimmich, defense / midfield:
The discussions about Kimmich's roles in the national team will not go completely silent after this game.
In the center things went better thanks to Goretzka's inclusion, but Kimmich has less influence on the German game on the right.
Basically he was better involved than in the first half against Hungary, but Kimmich's flanks were generally too harmless.
After the substitution of Grealish, Kimmich did not manage to keep the right side sealed.
Both goals were prepared through this site.

Leon Goretzka, midfield:
The Munich man's acceptance paid off early on.
After an outstanding pass from Müller, Goretzka approached Pickford alone and could only be stopped by a foul (8th).
This dynamic was missing in the previous games.
Goretzka also tried to make the game fast when winning the ball.
In the longer ball possession phases of the German team, he did not manage to position himself in such a way that he could be played well.

Toni Kroos, midfield:
After three games alongside İlkay Gündoğan, Kroos got a new partner in Goretzka.
The real professional took on the more defensive role, which can cause stomach pain in view of the deficits in speed.
But with a chain of three behind him, the risk of overflowing is less and the English made no move to want to become dangerous through the center.
Kroos could arrange and fit just the way he likes it.
It stayed that way until the final stages, when England scored the two goals.
But in the end, Kroos did not manage to orchestrate the offensive successfully either.

Robin Gosens, defense / midfield (up to 86th):
After the weak performance against Hungary, Gosens got another chance, also because the national coach did not want to change the system.
The left-back should do more for the offensive again, but that hardly succeeded, which was also due to Werner's positioning.
On the other hand, Gosens did a good job defensively, went bravely into the duels and made no mistakes.
Even after the break, too little came from Gosens, the game against Portugal will remain his one-time European Championship highlight.

Thomas Müller, attack (up to 90th):
Against the ball, the person returning to the starting line-up was the clock, the one who animated and directed his colleagues. It is unclear whether Müller could also be heard, the Wembley Stadium also offered an impressive backdrop with 45,000 spectators. Otherwise, the game largely passed Müller on the offensive in the first half, with the exception of the dream pass to Goretzka in the initial phase. After the break, Müller's influence on the game didn't get any better. His retrieval campaign was correct, on different levels. Nevertheless, the question arises as to whether he would even fit into this team, with this orientation, without a fixed point in the center of the storm. To interpret rooms, Müller needs rooms - and balls. And then came the 81st minute when he ran free to Pickford, but the ball missed inches from the left post.The future is now up to Müller himself - and to the new national coach, Hansi Flick.

His substitution also fizzled out ineffectively, the DFB team only acted with long balls anyway.

Timo Werner, attack (up to 68th):
His nomination for the starting XI was a little surprise, Gnabry had to give way.
Werner was supposed to create a goal threat with his fast runs behind the defensive chain - and the idea partially worked, even if not as often as Löw would have liked.
Werner usually lurked on the half-left side for passes, but his teammates found him too seldom there.
Werner had his greatest chance in the center when he was sent by Havertz, but then got stuck from five meters on the falling Pickford (32nd).
Werner would probably have a 3 in the certificate, he tried hard, got involved, but was anything but error-free.
He should have made more of the counterattack in the 58th minute.

Serge Gnabry, attack (from 68th):
It was not the European championship of Serge Gnabry.
The Munich man remained without a goal, his bank seat was surprising, but not illogical.
Gnabry did not find his way into the game after being substituted on, now he can reflect on vacation.

Kai Havertz, attack:
The FC Chelsea striker showed twice in the initial phase what he had learned in the Premier League: physical effort.
With Werner at his side, Havertz's game changed a little, he was less responsible for running deep, but he initiated some good attacks.
In the 32nd minute alone he first played Kimmich free on the right and shortly afterwards he fit into Werner's run, who narrowly failed.
The DFB-Elf started better in the second round too, a shot by Havertz from the edge of the penalty area was directed over the bar by Pickford (48th).
Havertz was the most important man on the offensive, his good idea on a counterattack brought Werner into a promising position (58th).

Joachim Löw:
The national coach had been asked several times before the game how he felt before his supposedly last game as national coach. He didn't answer, what can you say to that? But now Löw has the certainty that his 15-year journey as coach of the national team ended at Wembley Stadium, at least in front of a worthy backdrop. Löw had decided again for the 5-2-3, the game gave him right and wrong at the same time. His team managed to keep their opponents away from their own goal for long stretches. Until the 75th minute, when the English combined skilfully and immediately stabbed. All in all, however, it was another game in which Löw's team wasn't looking for a goal of their own. At this European Championship he simply did not manage to establish a permanent game idea that developed a goal hazard.
