Untidy at the back and ineffectual up front, those are the takeaways from Germany's dreary Group C draw against Poland at Euro 2016. Only Toni Kroos is functioning close to his Fifa Coins club level for the world champions, with key players elsewhere lacking in fitness, form or both.

Mario Gotze was chosen again to lead the line by Joachim Low. The Bundestrainer famously told Gotze to show the world he was as good as Lionel Messi before sending him on to win the World Cup but it's going to take more than motivational speaking to make Gotze into a player worth comparing to Messi.

The Bayern Munich hierarchy are said to be at their wits' end with the once-coming talent of German football and are ready to move him on. He won't have impressed watching clubs with his display here. Too often moves broke down at his feet - at one stage Low turned away and punched the air in frustration when Gotze took the ball down and laid it backwards instead of attempting to move it forwards. He missed his only presentable chance too - blasting into the gloves of Lukasz Fabianski when it looked easier to score.
