Watched the highlights from Saturday Zaldívar had three clear shots that he squandered. That fool is so damn inconsistent Pumas just had that one "shot" which came off a gift from Cota One of those ties that feel like a loss
And the dude is stacked; he is taller than Zaldivar, and looks sturdier, also. Dude is 20. I just looked it up and he's 6 ft. tall. He will begin to compete with Zaldivar officially, and that will be a win win for the team.
and we have JJ Macias in the ranks :O and i still have faith in Daniel Rios whos a physical tank slightly taller than Godinez, currently in the Ascenso MX with Zacatepec he's 22 tho has scored 3 goals so far in 8 games
We need strikers for the future. Like the Mexican national team I mean. I hope one of those prospects pans out. We need a goal scorer to carry on ch14’s legacy.
No he didn't. He tore it up in the U17 CONCACAF WC qualifiers but was kind of a disappointment in the World Cup IMO.
Holy christ. Who's watching this game? I do not understand why Lobos is letting us stay alive. They refuse to attack. Aris Hernandez deeds to gtfo. He has given tree balls to their delanteros as if to say, "Here, let's see if you can do something with that." That dude needs benched so bad. And when we actually have an attack, we seem to be unable to attack from the left side because Aris is so bad on that side. Hopefully we get some new blood in this second half. Zaldivar is MIA. Say what you will about Pulido, but the dude always played his ass off. These guys are zombied, losing balls left and right. They seem to have gotten the Arisitis: as they advance, when they see a defender they look like if it's a complex calculus problem and pass the ball back.
Wow, Pulido and Godinez came in and it was another team. Night and day. However, Pulido missed three, from sitters to makeable, goles. Then we lost to the gol of the week: an awesome chilena. Our offense is back. We still have no attack from Aris' side. All attacks came from the right side. I'm actually not too worried about making the liguilla. String 3 wins and we are in the hunt.
Stringing 3 wins in a row could easily make a big difference. I know, we first need the first one. ANyway, I think we found our LB!!! Cisneros. Man, in the second half Cisneros moved to LB and damn, we mostly attacked from there; and he was very efficient in defending. If ALmeyda takes notice, then we can say goodbye to Aris and have Cisneros giving us attacking options on the left. Everytime Aris touches the ball he pisses me off.
Disappointing defeat given the circumstances and while Chivas is still within grasp of qualifying it will be an uphill battle. Still, this though season was expected given the injuries and lack of a proper preseason. I do think at this point Almeyda should give more playing time to youth players. I don't see any top signings coming our way so we might as well be more generous with the youth.
