Well, if you are just trying to relay sum stats, fair enuf, otherwise, I have to ask u, point being? If your stats are anything to go by, Crespo and Figueroa should be paired up, hope u r not suggesting that,cos u never know even Lucho will be amazed I think.
No, it does not follow that Crespo and Figueroa should play together, because they certainly didn't score those goals by playing together. But the scoring figures do illustrate loud and clear the importance of having one penalty area centerforward of those characteristics. That is why, regardless of how much excitement players like Tevez, Messi and Saviola bring, we have to accept that Crespo still should be a starter, and Figueroa, Cruz or another true centerforward should also be in the list, just in case something happens to Crespo.
We really need to have a team with a 4-4-2 scheme and another with a 3-5-2 scheme to be used as required. I believe Pekerman will start the tournament with a 4-4-2: Saja Zanetti Ayala Milito Sorin Mascherano L Gonzalez Riquelme Bilos Tevez Saviola This is the most balanced lineup in my opinion, the only question is whether Bilos has what it takes to play for the national team. Of course, Messi can replace him in that position, or even D'Allesandro if Pekerman feels like not needing too much wing play. The second team as of right now to me should be: Pato Ibarra G Rodriguez Samuel Heinze (if recovered) DeMichelis M Rodriguez Aimar Messi Crespo Milito Players in with a chance include Cambiasso, Insua, D'Allesandro, Clemente Rodriguez, Gago, Aguero, Delgado, Cruz, Rosales, Palacio, Galleti, Castroman, Santana, Burdisso, Coloccini (ugh!), Gracian, Ponzio, Zabaleta and Gallardo. To be honest, what worries me is that most of these players are in the 21-26 age bracket, much too young to be world cup winners. On the other hand, didn't the 78 team have a below average median age also?
Have to say mostly disagree with the post above, which ontradicts what ASF just said before. On the other hand, strongly beleive what ASF said is right, and would much rather see Cruz going as a sub to Crespo (although im not a fan) than Figueroa.
How about: --------------------Lux--------------------- Zanneti-------------Gonzalo-------------Samuels--------Heinz (if recovered) Messi------------Mascherano-------Riquelme--------Cambiasso-------Tevez Crespo
Have you guys voiced your say here? The drop-down menus allow you to see your whole 23 man roster as a unit: ¿Quiénes deben ser los elegidos?
thanks for that tpmazembe. v noticeable that d'allessandro isn't given as an option whereas veron is! there seems to be an agenda.
Any1 got any news reports from Peker's visit to europe? Ive read it a cpl of Ole's (i use a translation service which aint any good lol), but would like sum1 to update me if u can.
after tonights River - Boca, I think you guys need to look for a new keeper, I know this is only a pre-season game, but Pato has been out of it for a while.
Was going through the Zaragoza-Barça thread in the Barcelona forum and it looks like Milito had a hell of a match. He was event suggested as MOTM by some. Quite encouraging, I feel... Also it seems Ayala has started training again.
Milito (the defender) was awsome, and his brother wasn't to bad up front either. I thought Messi was the best player for Barca as well. Still trying to work out why Real Madrid would not pay £3.5 million for Milito (because of an alleged previous injury) but forked out over £14 million for the permanently injured Woodgate.
Argentina is missing a gooood reliable goalie. Starting 11 Pato/ Mariano Barbosa - Villareal young sub goalie Ayala/gonzalo Samuel/g.milito Zanetti Sorin Mascherano/Dimichelis/Cambiasso Riquelme Maxi Rodriguez/Messi Lucho/Aimar Tevez/Palacio/Saviola/Chelito/Aguero Crespo/??D.Milito/Figueroa/Maxi lopez(lol)
How can anyone still be intent on Pato? He's not nearly the level we would want for the NT. I honestly think that Carrizo, Lux, Ustari, Mono Montoya and Barbosa should get their own shot. Pato for now though is our only choice, just because of his experience.
Pato Heinze Ayala Zanetti Sorin Cambiasso Mascherano Riquelme Tevez Messi Crespo that's a team that can crush Brazil, and I mean it!
