Yes it was. A once great striker who used to make up for his lack of pace with other qualities. And two youngsters who have done nothing of note in the first division. Gracias a dios tenemos a Hernandez y Jimenez por algun tiempo mas.
RIP Potro's career. 2011-2016. There was talk about him joining Osorio's staff to be groomed as the next head coach. I hope that has gone out the window. This guy hasn't watched a game played after 1998 based off his tactics.
This team is far below in quality, compared to the 2012 roster. The best striker they had was a striker that was past his prime (Oribe). The 2012 team had Oribe,Raul,Gio and as someone mentioned they had to leave Pulido out of the roster because, they were set in the FW department. Not to mention the Chaton/Herrera mid combo. What did this team have? Fierro? Cubo?
Pulido should be nowhere near any NT until he plays an entire season on a consistent basis and scores goals. I know it's circumstantial but he's not ready to be considered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The forwards and the goalies were about the only thing that were better from 2012, everything else 2016 was better on paper. Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
Perez and Guzman are both contenciones though. Still don't understand what we would have lost by taking him out other than adding Guzman's long range shots.
I'm already over it, this was expected after the Fiji game, I'm more disappointed with Pizarro being out for a while now.
not really. 2012 line up had legit starters, most guys in 2016 are fringe players or "prospects" 1 José de Jesús Corona Portero 31 0 Cruz Azul 2 Israel Jiménez Defensa 23 0 Tigres UANL 3 Carlos Salcido Defensa 32 0 Tigres UANL 4 Hiram Mier Defensa 23 0 Monterrey 5 Darvin Chávez Defensa 22 0 Monterrey 6 Héctor Herrera Centrocampista 22 1 Pachuca 7 Javier Cortés Delantero 23 1 Pumas UNAM 8 Marco Fabián Centrocampista 23 1 Guadalajara 9 Oribe Peralta Delantero 28 4 Santos Laguna 10 Giovani dos Santos Centrocampista 23 3 RCD Mallorca 11 Javier Aquino Centrocampista 22 1 Cruz Azul 12 Raúl Jiménez Delantero 21 0 América 13 Diego Reyes Defensa 19 0 América 14 Jorge Enríquez Centrocampista 21 1 Guadalajara 15 Néstor Vidrio Defensa 23 0 Pachuca 16 Miguel Ponce Defensa 23 0 Guadalajara 17 Néstor Araujo Defensa 22 0 Cruz Azul 18 José Antonio Rodríguez Portero 20 0 Veracruz DT Luis Fernando Tena
