At least Coutinho did something. GJ should have used his left. He did this same shit in the WC in one of the few chances he had.
I hate when a player receives the ball in between the lines and instead of turning passes it straight back one-time. You need to be aware if you don't have anybody on your back.
Yes, the defense is sloppy right now. Theirs isn't all that great either, but they're being more intentional on offense.
He's from Aston Villa. David Neres got hurt last week during a Champions' League match and Tite picked Wesley as a replacement.
E termina o Desafio ao Galo ! 0 x 1 Winless stretch of 5 games. Worse in 28 years since Falcão in the early 90s. Tite who had all the answers when he took over seems to be clueless now.
When Tite called him (Wesley) up, I just had to go check his bio... Honestly, I simply don't understand how this kid got a call up to the big team! Kind of embarrassing to even see him on the field at this point. Moron Bein sport commentator said "Wesly is in the mold of Adriano". I'm like BRO!! Calm the f*ck down! Adriano paid some dues before being called up while this kid was nothing as a junior and currently nothing as a senior. He's just a tall kid playing a forward position. I'm starting to get worried for Tite. He's digging way too deep for hidden gems... He just found a big piece of coal with this kid. Meh.
A 5-match winless streak with two losses. Not a good end of 2019 after the Copa América title. The second half wasn't fun to watch; the Argentines were more aggressive on offense. Looks like their manager is learning the ropes. I've been a staunch Tite defender and do not want him sacked. But I think he better come up with good results fast, and a win vs. Korea is now a must. This is not a good way to go into CONMEBOL WCQ in March. His numbers are excellent: 48 games, 33 wins, 10 draws, and only 4 losses. But 2 losses in 5 games - not good at all. Gabriel Jesus' missed penalty was one of those things that simply happens. Had he scored, who knows. But at the same time, who cares. He missed.
For a former /player/coach, Muricy talks sounds a lot like a TV pundit who has never played or coached a game.
It's pathetic. Hopefully Gabigol can translate his Flamengo form into the NT. It has been a while since we've had a good striker. I'd have to go back to Luis Fabiano for someone who looked decent.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Gabigol can translate this Fla run to the NT, but I still don't see a killer in him like even a L.Fabiano. It's a false 9 world we live in these days sadly
The problem with this Brazil is that it seems to play with only 9 men because G Jesus and Firmino rarely touch the ball and they don't help anywhere else. I'm really not worried, however, because the inclusion of Neymar will help. Also, the true real quality of Brazil will only be on display in SA qualifying and depending on what happens there, then and only then, will I worry or celebrate.
We'll have to see what's on Tite's mind once he is able to call Gerson, Bruno Henrique, and Gabigol. Filipe Luis probably returns too.
