    What? Didn't ES have 4 players at the back for the Argentina game?
    http://soccerway.com/matches/2015/03/29/world/friendlies/el-salvador/argentina/1994684/

    Either way, the tweet says "possible" which doesn't mean "certainly".

    There'll be a link; I don't live in USA nor do I have cable TV so I always watch a stream on the internet. :)

    It was more like 5 on the back since he didn't want to get routed. I wish he would test out the line-up against Guatemala in the first half to see if it can lead to something. He can switch it back to his preferred line of 3 in the second or mid-way through the first.

    @Blue_nation724 give us a break down of the game bro sadly I won't be able to watch the game since it starts late as hell and I have work early in the morning.

    He should already know that 3 at the back is a confirmed failure. :rolleyes:

    I mean what Roca is telling me is that he has no confidence with it against teams like that, yet believes it will work against "weaker" teams. That tells me how much confidence he has on the back-line.

    They played with 5-4-1. Bonilla did the best up there alone though
    I'll give goal updates and a FT recap of the game when I get home :) these games are always fun though, there's no bad beef within the fans

    First time Larin isn't a starter in the Roca era.

    Too much space is being given to Guatemala to make so many clear long passes on the ground and space to run with the ball too. They have to close down their spaces or mark their players with a lot of pressure on them. Herrera is not convincing me either missing 2 clear chances to score and misses to catch a lot of clear good passes.

    Ruiz, Contreras, and Pappa are standing out on the field for Guatemala. So far Alvarez is the only one really standing out for El Salvador. Darwin Ceren marking pretty well but hasn't gotten to stand out like he usually does. Jaime Alas seems to be defending a lot, hasn't really gotten the chance to attack that much, and hasn't made any dangerous plays yet.

    WTF kind of ref is this? Also Herrera looked decent about the misses same story as every other striker in the NT.

    So far it looks like Roca will have to keep working on getting the midfield to gel because they miss too many simple passes.

    Patience is wearing thin. Too many games in his administration to have this problem.

    Yeah same here, as it stands far he might need to go with two strikers up top because the current 3-5-1-1 isn't working. So far the left attacks more than the right .


    Also the back-line has shown to be more solid than ours much more disciplined.


    Edit: Lack of urgency is showing heavily so far they have been dispossessed embarrassingly easy it's like they don't know a chapin player is close by.

    Edit2: Looks like AA will be subbed off soon reading he's picked up an injury :/.

    "El Motor" Contretras is standing out with all those saves

    So far the best post I've read on Twitter has said that so far in the Roca era the keepers have been the standouts...

    Also damn it :(


    Bonilla should have taken a damn shot FFS. Why do all our strikers like to play around in the box.

    Edit: Ruiz just skinned our CBs....

    Those useless step overs from Bonilla. He should have you curve shot it in to the right...

    It looks like our guys can't take anyone one on one.


    Edit: Oh man if this is true all I can say is lulz.

    Well that was incredibly boring. Guatemala was easily the better team; they were a lot more offensive, so hats off to Contreras for not letting one in.

    I'm over this group of players, it's time to make another big change and utilise more U-23 players.

    @Grimmjow316 you must feel silly for deciding to stay up to watch the game; you're gonna be cranky in the morning.

    I lost hope a while back on these group of players and coaching staff. They seem to be stuck in square one.
