Someone must be forcing th DT's hand and giving him a different set of rules to play by. We all know that this team should have reverted to the 352 that was so popular against Chile. Instead he played a 433 against Bolivia and now is using a 4 man defense again. At this point why bother watching anymore. Grondona fcuk you, keep the fcuking team. That's what you want!!!
I disagree with you on the fear, every team fears Argentina until about the half, after that its over, fear and respect are both gone...
Last time we started with 9 points in our first 4 games and we needed the last day to assure ourselves that we were going. 4 points in 4 games, lol. All of us that were planning to go to Brasil in 2014, I say save our money and go elsewhere.
That's only because they play in the cream puff spanish league, and neither is Argentino enough. Stop deflecting!
Likewise. No point in getting all bent out of shape when we knew this would happen. It's not worth it. It really is hard to believe in this team anymore. It's very disfunctional and nobody knows how to fix it
good point, i think if we are going to play with a local coach we should use more local playrs and a Argentine style like the 3-5-2 with an enganche, or we use the Euro boys and screw our pride and hire a foreign coach to save our ass.
Yup. Argentina have had the easiest schedule so far of all the teams in CONMEBOL qualifying, and yet can't even get decent results. Even being a typically negative person and factoring-in how crap Argentina has been for 4+ years, I still thought they'd have 7 points by now.
Tis nonsense. There is no one in midfield supplying any quality ball upfront. Face it the coach has not got a clue. I would do a better job. For the last time it's not about where they play butwho is in charge.
Hmmm not so sure Sabella did very well as coach of an Argentine club side. These players are also at fault. Thing is there is no identity to this team , none, we are not playing as an argentine team nor as a Euro team , we have no objective and no drive .....
I was actually being a bit cynical. I don't see how using just local players will help. In the 2 recent friendlies against Brazil, I swear I have never seen a more boring sad. They are the only 2 Argentina games I've ever turned off from just boredom. I just don't see what can be gained by using less clearly less talented players, when even the staunchest defenders of the league are saying that this is a low point for the Argentine league. What I think has been proven though is that it's time an outsider stepped in because the Argentine coaching pool has been found wanting. Unless of course the one every body wants to step up can actually get the job. But at this point, can anyone say with certainty that even he would be up to the challenge?
Diego may be the only one to motive the players...If you can't ge Diego then, time to get a foreigner... Most of the players play in Europe anyway so they would relate to a foreigner...
Not saying we use all local players but what is wrong with using a backline from a leading team in the league ??? Is our back four that good Im saying lets play "our" style or go all Euro and hire a foreign coach ....
Gooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll........................La Pulga......... Come on Argentina.......
