PEKERMAN

DON'T
MAKE
ONE
DAMN
CHANGE
YOU ************************

 

Equipo que gana no cambia

The only change I might consider would be for Quintero...he's been playing to exhaustion and we're going to need the little b@$t@rd at full stamina in the next round (if we make it)...

But nah, James-Quintero-Cuadrado and Arias were linking better than any of them have for Colombia in months. We need to go full force against Senegal

 

I'm guessing C.Sanchez starts again against Senegal. I wouldn't doubt it.

 

Que partidazo de Barrios... no se si empiece o no contra Senegal pero se comió la cancha

 

Stick with Barrios. He was an absolute monster today. I kept thinking he was gonna f up the dozens of times Poland closed down on him, but he kept managing to weave out of it.

Sanchez is still a boss, but he should come on as a sub next match, if possible, to regain confidence and to give Barrios the credit he deserves.

 

******** him. Lerma and Barrios are doing fine so far. To me the key is keeping Uribe in the lineup. He changed the Game in my opinion.

 

I'd like to hear one good argument why Sanchez should start. Sanchez is great but he could be under oressure because of what happened to him. Besides, Barrios couldn't have played better. I'd keep this team.

 

Guys Senegal only need a draw and they're in; they're not going to be looking for a reason to play the same way that Poland did unless they want to assure a certain place in the group. Frankly, if they and Japan draw they both advance but they know that they can't risk that now can they? If we draw with them, and Japan loses by even one goal, we and Senegal advance.

 

Barrios is so much better when we have the ball, he's much better on the ball under pressure then Sanchez is. Sanchez isn't bad, but Barrios can withstand pressure and pass out better, that is a big weapon when teams come forward it opens up a lot of space further up the field whereas Sanchez isn't able to play with defenders closing him down as well. Barrios/Uribe is our best option gives us better options on the ball and both are strong defensively, no idea why it wasn't tried until forced with the Abel injury and Sanchez red card, it seems that Pekerman is backing into the best lineups because of outside factors atm.

 

Ha, he's wearing his own jersey. XDD What good luck!

 

The argument for putting on Roca Sanchez would be that he is strong and physical and Senegal is a very strong and physical team.

Barrios is shorter and weaker and against the big Africans that could be dangerous.

I'm trying to think who we could put on who is strong and physical against them. We don't have players in that profile outside our CBs anymore.

We used to have Armero, Zúñiga, Aguilar, Guarin and Jackson but we don't now.

This is why we should have taken Duván.

I can see Senegal abusing James, Quintero, and Cuadrado all match because they are all weaker physically.

 

...... what happened to Abel? Are we safe? From him starting?

Is Pekerman just waiting to use Muriel and Borja for the 2nd round...... what did he doe either of the 2 games he came in?

Mina ..... I love you. If your name wasn't spelled in such a stupid way would name my kid after you.

What is exciting is that James is still not at 100% and hope he is for England or Belgium

Insane a Red Card and a injury are what are saving our team from playing shitty players

 

Senegal may counter our lineup that we used against Poland...yes that doesn't mean that they can easily handle us with that XI but how will Pekerman set up the squad on thrusday?

Both ours and Japan vs Poland will occur at the same time.

Senegal won't risk waiting on Japan to draw with Poland if Colombia plans on defeating them and they're both likely aiming for the top spot like us.

 

I do like La Roca very much. Like what he brings in to the defense however Barrios has shown great strides in his two opportunities. It was be a slap in the face to quickly denounce him.

I rather Barrios and Uribe start together. Sub Sanchez once things start getting intense. But if I had to have my arm pulled, Barrios and Sanchez then... Uribe should start, I feel he can really take advantage here.

Keep the XI as is, no changes outside of Abel > Uribe/Sanchez

 

explaining to the masses, it's almost suicide to play for a tie. we need to play for the win and secure our place outright. Can't depend on Poland to defeat Japan.

Poland doesn't look good and now that they are lost, will they play for pride?

 

Well their fans were quite abusive after their loss to us; I am sure that pride is at sake. But yeah we can't risk NOT going for the win. Senegal knows that they need to secure their victory and won't risk just accepting a draw with us; again, place on the table is vital.

 

A draw ensures a placement for Senegal but I don't think they'll play for it either.. maybe if they were to get a lead late then they'll limit our chances.

Win and we're in, lets go Colombia!!!!

 

Poland didnt even try to come back and win..... I have no idea what they were trying to do....

their Defense is laughable. But Senegal has 4 goals.... 3 of them are complete gifts. We need to win the final game. The 1st game was a wake up call. After 2 games a injury and a red card. We have our strongest 11 starting.

We need for Pekerman to stop fking around and putting Bacca in when he isn't doing anything as a sub. I'd love to see Borja and Izquerido come in the last 20 minutes for Falcao and Quintero. Seems he might be saving Muriel for England.

 

Isn’t it two games for a direct red?

 

Muriel needs playing time...seriously why does he keep using Bacca? That cow won't be able to outrun all those black guys.

 

I think it may have to do with team hierarchy.
