Colombia playing a little better now but it seems like it's more chile who is relaxing more. It's damn scary how easy they score against us 3 games in a row now. They are so much faster than us and play with one-touch passing. There players seems stronger than us physically and faster and when you face a team like that the only tactic you can use is to try and slow things down and never let go of the ball. I think it's sad that bolillo didn't play falcao from the getgo, rodallega just isn't good enough, he is egoistic and doesn't have a the nerves to be able to finish coldly. On one ocassion I think he had dayro totally free to his right and still he just finishes with a hard imprecise shot right at the goalkeeper as usual. It seems he only can finish like that with 100% force and 0 precision or skill or icy nerves.
This. We could easily be 2-2. I don't think we are defending as well as we did against Portugal. You guys are getting more chances than PORTUGAL, you are building up nicely but the finishing has been poor. That is the only difference.
Finally Falcao comes in, better late than never, bolillo.... Let's see what Rodallega- Falcao can do...
I want Montano for Dayro who is way way to selfish Abel was doing great too bad they took him out but think everyone called up has gotten playing time We are unlucky with the scoreline we have not played that bad
for Efer who think we don't need subs.... There you go buddy why aren't we making subs.... why not try new guys. We aren't playing badly but Montano/Carbonero for Dayro needs to happen
They made their chances we did not. Their GK made some huge stops ours did not. Guarin looked so good against Ecuador and looked less than mediocre today. I think we have to start Falcao and Cuadrado next game.
I truly hope we get to play chile again in copa america...i wouldn't want to wait until next qualifyers to face them again, when it really matters. We need to at least draw or finnish 1st half 0-0. They score way too easy against us.
I was going to say the same thing. It's a combination of your poor strikers and our good goalkeeper. The match could have gone another 90 minutes... Your midfield and defence are still solid as usual, but your strikers let you down, I remember you guys missed plenty of chances during last qualies and it looks to me that you are in for a repeat of those problems. All in all good match.
I do not think Guarin was that bad, I think Aguilar was good. Sanchez, Cuadrado, Roda, Dayro, are not good enough to be starters. Actually I think Bolillo still has work to do to find the right and left wingers. Ramos had a good first half but not good enough. We must try Edwin Valencia instead of Sanchez he is just not good enough to play teams that are agressive in the midfield, Perea looked awful in the second half. We have 8 out of eleven places already, Bolillo does not have a big problem for the future I think.
Guarin is a beast. You can't expect perfection every game. He nearly made an incridible goal with his left foot. I'm not mad at all. I'm digging the faster pace Bolillo is implementing and playing without a 10. We are creating alot more scoring chances than ever before just not making them plus they have a hell of a keeper. Bravo is one of best NT goal keepers in S.America. I'll take him over Ospina. I'm officially on Bolillo bandwagon. I just hope the Colombian press doesn't start a campaigning for a 10.
He must not be practicing well cause when he started his first match against Venezuela he played like a super star. Ever since then he has been on the bench for some inexplicable reason.
Guarin seemed off in this game with his passing and his shooting was less than impressive. (especially that one shot that went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay into the upper deck.)
We do have them. Bolillo just hasn't call them up. Pino and James will be a nasty combination out on the wings. Sanchez isn't all that when it comes to ball distribution plus E.Valencia is a beast as a DFM.
I meant to say I hope Colombian press doesn't start campaigning for a 10 on my previous post. No more classic 10 please!
yea but overall, he played well. he had some super plays out there man, I think Cuadrado is on the bench because he doesn't play regularly for Udinese and isn't the best of shape.
I would not mind seeing guys like LF Mosquera or Pabon being used as pass distributors. These guys can also provide in the set pieces dimension as well. Also, I know people are not going to like this but I say give Wason a chance up front. HE has a nose for goals right now and is playing well with Dayro.
Time for my ratings out of 10. GK:Ospina-7 the two goals aren't his fault, but played above average and seem to lose a little confidence after free-kick. I hope he shake it off soon we need him. RWB:Zuniga-5 started off average but then got hurt after 20mins. I hope he's ok. RBerea-6 average game wasn't bad, didn't give up the 2nd goal as he was already marking a player, no one guarded Jean B, so of course Perea was the last man to blame. CB:Zapata-5 average game look like a tree stump because he kept planting his feet and causing little fast boy Alexis to take on the Slow Yepes on 1-1. Also was very brutal and rocky. CB:Yepes-8 once again he shows his class and character didn't let the Chileans get to his head and was being consistant. The first goal was his free kick but then again it wasn't his fault as he was doing his job to slow the offense. LB:Armero-7 above average relied a little too much on his speed but defended the wings quite well but he didn't really have anyone to connect his 1-2's. CDM: Sanchez-2.5 horrible game kept turning the ball over, didn't make smart passes, complicated his life and held the ball to long in the middle, was very physical, and overall just had a terrible game...I won't exile because it's ignorant but I do hope he uses this game as an example that nothing is set. CM: Aguilar-7 above average game didn't play bad, didn't play good, but he put effort and set a few passes to the strikers who kept missing the goal. Kept it consistant just like against Ecuador. CM: Guarin-7 put alot of effort, got very emotional, took shots, set good passes, defensively didn't do great and sometimes was the only man in the middle. RCM: Cuadrado 4.5-once again this kid proves his inexperience in the field, made silly decisions with his crosses, should of taken shots but decided to pass to aguilar or Dayro most of the time. RF/LFayro Moreno 3.5- very bad game, very self fish, very emotional and stupid to get silly yellow's, kept blaming his teamates for his foolish mistakes and overall didn't impress me. Thinking twice if he deserves to be a super sub. LF/RF:Adrian Ramos 5.5- semi above average, made good runs, showed his strength, but lacked the ambition to score. Ramos needs confidence in the attack. ST: Rodallega 6- hard worker, also very emotional, set up good passes, but also missed way too many chances I think I counted like 3 or 4 of them. Like with Carlos Sanchez I hope he uses this game as a reality check that nothing is secure. ST: Falcao-5- average, invisible, lack to sweat and try had. Look very passive and lack the will to be more agressive at the goal or wanting the ball. Dissapointing game for the tiger and reverted to CAT MODE. Overall Performance: 5.64 Defensively: 5.79 Midfield:5.25 Offensively:5
