Exactly, we have seen that what works in the middle is a defensive contencion and a more attack minded contencion playing together. This is why Herrera is so important, while we have several defensive contenciones, Herrera is out only attacking player that can play that position (hopefuly Jona can also play that role for us in the future).
Herrera - Cabrera is the best midfielder partnership that i have seen in recent years for Mexico.........that was against U 23 Concacaf teams thought!! --
Aren't Herrera and Jona a bit different though midfield - wise? I thought Jona was more of a centre midfielder and Herrera was more of an attacking one. I think the way to go should be Herrera with Enriquez or Cabrera. Cabrera because we've seen how good they can be together and Enriquez because a destroyer would let Herrera shine in the attacking role. As much as I like Peña, idk where he would fit. Even if Chepo goes back to the lineup he used in the gold cup, he'd most likely put Gio/Reyna/Fabian behind the striker, leaving the two midfield spots to two of Zavala/Salcido/Herrera/Enriquez.
I just watched the game in its entirety, and all I can say is that Mexico was lucky to get the point. To say that they were sleepwalking would be an insult to sleep walkers. One of the worst games I have seen in a long, long, time - and I have been watching since the late 70's.
more like most of it, Gio and Moreno had good games with their clubs even after the travel, Chepo just went full retard
Certainly the worst game that I can remember in a long time. Over 120 misplaced passes. The last 25 mins were a joke. I was rooting for Jamaica to score to be honest.
