Tom Marshall @mexicoworldcup Via @record_mexico: Paul Aguilar connected with just 38% of passes, Maza with 47.5% and Moreno with 54%. Herrera highest rate with 89%.[/quote] Didn't really understand the subbing of Herrera.
I think Guardado will get the captain next he is already up to 88 caps. Even though he has been playing below average for us for a while now. We need a leader like Torrado. I actually miss the guy Our current mid with Salcido.
Just Aguilar? If I were Chepo i wouldn't call up Molina again, Chaton(In Fit) and Gullit Peña are better than him in all the senses.
Gio is an outstanding player, but captain!? Really? The Dos Santos are the worst decision makers (outside of the pitch) ever.
da fuq does that have to do or affect their possible captain status IN the pitch? "cuz of x then y would happen too" no mames
If anyone watched the game on ESPN, they had an interesting blurb which they said that Hernandez was unhappy with Gio and he told Gio to put more effort on defending.
I really doubt Maza will lose his Captaincy. If so i would choose either of these players. 1.) A. Guardado (Been with La Seleccion Since 2005/2006... And really has matured through out his career) 2.) J.Corona (Age, Experience, Leadership in Olympics. And the Olympic boys really respected him from what i watched in the "Oro" Documentary 3.) H.Moreno (His leadership at the backline is pretty good. Really pushes the defense line to step up their game and really is underrated when it comes to La Seleccion. Maybe a Rafa Marquez type of Captain)
I would love to see Jonathan and Herrera share that spot there, no offense to chaton hes still a bit tronco
I like Enriquez. I know some think he's a tronco and his passing sucks but you can't deny his destroyer qualities. Dude breaks up a lot of plays. He's a better version of Torrado. He is nowhere near his peak, give him some experience and he will shine...check that....he has already shined on one of the biggest stages against one of the biggest teams. I don't understand the stubbornness of Chepo to stick with old dudes playing out of position (Salcido). He's gonna make mistakes no doubt, but he will grow up. Give him a shot.
Even when JDS did play for a bit with us, I thought we looked better with an old Torrado. I'm all for this as long as we can get some silky offense wide again.
It's all about roles. While Enriquez isn't the most polished player, his contributions on the defensive end are huge. Same goes for Zavala, who most people didn't quite rate until he was injured. With the current trends and personnel, a Zavala-Herrera partnership appears to be the way to go for Qualifiers but as much as I dislike Salcido, he obviously provides "leadership" qualities that the team believes in, even if I don't think much of him in a leadership role. The inclusion of Pena and the return of Zavala should help. I still don't think Chepo will bench Salcido, even though his limitations are quite obvious.
as i said before, i normally don't wish injury upon players but if Salcido were to pick up an injury that would leave him off the NT i would be happy
First time I heard anyone wanting torrado over jonathan considering everyone wanted jona to be his successor. lol @ calling chaton a tronco. his style isn't pretty but he is good at what he does. if anything, zavala is the epitome of mediocre. he's pretty much gold cup/concacaf material.
