To me and many of other watching friends he was one of the worst players and he was rated bad in German media.
Besides Gundogan and Draxler he got the lowest ratings. In our German system from 1(best) to 6 (worst) he got a 4.5 by KICKER for example. Thats bad and exactly how he played imho.
Gundogan got a 5, he was indeed the worst player on the field.
We both know that Muller can do better and I wonder where the "old" Muller is, the one that surprises with scoring goals out of situations where you never would have expected it.
I'm not sure how Kicker does their ratings, but if it is similar to ESPN or other sites that's just opinionated garbage, IMO.
I forget which site I saw the figures, but looking at the numbers Muller was one of the better players out there. He had more key passes than any player in the game.
Whoscored's detailed statistical rating has him third best on the team, behind Kroos and Reus, who get big bumps for scoring. He's also rated better than all but one Swede.
