I keep reading both Draxler and Götze have been poor this year. What has been the problem?
Götze hasn't been great since tearing up his ACL/MCL playing for Dortmund.
He gained quite some weight/muscle and lost a step during the process.
Pep always plays him on the wings but he's not a winger but rather a #10.
Götze, on the other hand, needs to decide if he's willing to shed some weight to be able to play this position.
If not, he could go the same route as Tony Kroos did, who started out as a #10 but realized that he's best used playing a deeper role.
Draxler has been injured for a big part of last season and didn't play all too well anyways.
