JEROME BOATENG ADMITS there are no excuses for the lapses in concentration that again saw Germany drop points in Euro 2016 qualification.
The World Cup winners lost 2-0 to Poland in Saturday before allowing Ireland to snatch a point with the last kick of the game last night.
The Bayern Munich defender understands that his side have had to blood a number of young players but insists that they cannot afford any more slip-ups.
“We blame it on ourselves,” he told Bild. ”If you lose the ball that close to full-time and concede a goal, you’re practically begging for it to happen.
“We must clear the ball. It’s just so cheap to concede a goal. This is a young team but also the youngest have played in the Champions League. This shouldn’t happen to us easily.”
