9 goals in 30 appearances in a weak English lg/lower division sides? Neymar isn't even comparable to him , come on now. Usually when I watch Liverpool it's Coutinho and sane who stand out to me.
No one is comparing them but we are strictly talking about finishing and a lot guys on NT including Neymar; finishing isn't their strong suit at all and with Neymar that may change when he is with the NT but this season I think he has been outscored by Sergio Ramos in the league. I disagree that the EPL is a weak league btw.
Tite said he is considering Bruno Peres and Emerson to callup, Roma's RB and LB. Also said Alisson being a backup doesn't mean he can't be on the NT.
Can't help but think Filipe Luis will get the short end of the stick sooner rather than later. Alex Sandro defintely deserves a chance but Tite didn't even mention him. Just the Roma guys.
It's a hell of an improvement from 2010!! When we had used about 6 or 7 different LB's in the WCQ's only to settle on a then attacking midfielder Michel Bastos as LB!! It's now the RB spot in which we need some good depth in!!
Maybe, Tite should take another look at Fabinho at right back even though he playing in midfield that cross was lovely from the right side.
So after we play Argentina on June 9th in Australia for the Superclassico of the Americas...4 days later on the 13th we will play the Aussies!! So at least we will get 2 games out of that long trip!!
List of NT players for the 3/23/2017 match at Montevideo vs. Uruguay and the 3/28/2017 match vs. Paraguay in São Paulo: Goleiros Alisson (Roma) Weverton (Atlético-PR) Ederson (Benfica) Zagueiro Gil (Shandong Luneng) Marquinhos (PSG) Miranda (Inter de Milão) Thiago Silva (PSG) Laterais Daniel Alves (Juventus) Fagner (Corinthians) Filipe Luis (Atlético de Madri) Marcelo (Real Madrid) Meio-campo Casemiro (Real Madrid) Diego (Flamengo) Fernandinho (Manchester City) Giuliano (Zenit) Paulinho (Guangzhou Evergrande) Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool) Renato Augusto (Beijing ) Willian (Chelsea) Atacantes Diego Souza (Sport) Douglas Costa (Bayern de Munique) Firmino (Liverpool) Neymar (Barcelona)
Wow, Diego. I hope Tite eventually gets away from calling up Fagner. A wasted spot IMO. Other than that, I can't complain too much. I'd probably swap Weverton out for Muralha, but it's good for shits and giggles at @Kaka10725 's expense.
It's too bad Gabriel Jesus is injured. I'm a bit surprised Diego is back given he's a lot older now. Montevideo is a tough place to play in, and Uruguay has been in good form. But we won 4-0 there in 2009 - let's see if we can win again.
Flamengo is one of only a very few Brazilian clubs being represented in this call-up. Good for Flamengo.
Damn!! I thought Fabinho would have gotten a callup and I even had hopes for Sideshow Bob, who's been in pretty good form.....thanks to Conte!!
The only one if we discount Tite's Corinthians ties, which is to be expected. I'm just happy Diego won't be missing any Libertadores action.
