The only consolation is that Chochera has played a few players out of position and that like 5 starters are missing.
ES has lost, 2-1. goal from ceren (im not sure exactly,thats what theyre saying).and two penalties from venezuela. it really looks like this team is improving alot
Personally I'm tired of that missing players excuse these guys have to step up. Santamaría was okay but I agree he should have scored same for Ceren we gave this game away. I really didn't see much from Bonilla at all. Edit: Finishing is still the issue I mean are these guys confidence so bad that they need to take extra touches...
I went to Justin tv and opened the game and the announcers said just that. (I got to the game at the 80th min)
Oh xD well, I ment to say defensivley. Honestly, we didn't let them create as many chances as we had Paraguay and Ecuador. I mean, sure, they still had a couple of chances. But its improving slowly. I mean, are we really gin.a expect them to come out and completely slaughter a south American team? It's a loss, yea, but it isn't as bad as it could've been and that means somethings working
The sub 20 is the only reason I still have faith in our football. Those guys regardless of the WC performance will continue to grow.
we have gone pass that already ... time for our european players to perform .,. thats why we are at high point of madness...
To have fito playing again , its big gain... and everyone needs to learn how to play again together. good game..
does anyone know when was the last time El Salvador played 3 straight friendly games all from South America venezuela ,ecuador , paraguay??
My take on the game we played in orderly first half then the second half we completely vanished I think we tried our best but lost again. The players I liked were K.Santamaria,D.Ceren.D.Carillo,R.Zelaya and S. Purdy like someone said the only reason I'm still having faith is the sub 20 this youth is the only reason most Salvadorians are leaning towards despite of how they do they seem the more promising.
Remember we were missing Burgos. Im hoping Turcios can recover. Granadino is also another possible starter, Osa... Im not sold on Sosa yet. I think Chochera should call up Zavaleta, he already played a few minutes with the first team in Seatle. I wonder what is the future of Granitto, we could use his size on the senior team. I like Esnal too, very strong player.
Turcios has been playing this season for RoPS it's all in the abroad thread. As it stands they moved him from DM to CB which is a good move since that is how they use him in the NT.
This is how I see it for now. ---------------------Carillo------------------- Turcios--------Purdy-----Granadino-------???? Montiagudo????? Ruso----------Ceren-----------Menjivar----------Alas ---------------Fito--------Burgos-------- Esnal can play for Turcios, all our left backs kinda suck. Osa could play in the middle as a 10. I will like to see what Zavaleta can offer, he could play for Burgos. Mayen is also evolving a lot.
Nah man. Turcios deserves that CB role. I like Xavi at RB. He's showing his stuff at Firpo right now. Xavi - Purdy - Turcios - Pacheco or Larin is what I would do. Esnal is a good back up. Our midfield is really worrying. With Cheyo and Osa basically done it's looking pretty weak. I'm not convinced on Menjivar or Ceren. And Ruso to me is a back up. I'd still choose Isidro and Arturito over him.
Arturo-----ceren------menjivar-------alas imy ideal midfield. Menjivar Arturo--------alas Dustin Would also, for me, be good. the reason because, those side middles run up and down and always support well. Alas was throwing crosses in non stop vs Mexico during the qualifiers. All through the qualifiers actually. Arturo also. Menjivar is naturally a DM, it would suit him (or ceren for that matter) and Dustin is really good at taking the ball forward. He did that for the u-20 when he played with them. He goes down and recovers.the ball and does it a lot
I never liked Xavi, I think he is crap, I will rather have Monteagudo over Pacheco or Larin. Granadino is a really good centerback, so is Henriquez. Cheyo is done. We can use Osa and Arturo on his place. I like Ruso better than Isidro, Isidro has more speed but Ruso looks more complete, they are about the same. I like the work of Ceren and Menjivar in the middle. Santamaria played well against Venezuela. I can see Turcios or Granadino as right back, I just dont feel safe with Xavi there.
