    My expectation is 4 points.
    Once we beat Bolivia the team will have a hangover after celebrating and be relieved.

    Venezuela may still need to win depending on results.

    I doubt they will win their next match but even then we still need to have a convincing result secure qualification against Bolivia. And this team is still troubled mentally.

    We will beat Bolivia.

    Venezuela will need a win their last game to make sure they stay ahead of Bolivia. But Bolivia is playing Brasil so a tie may be enough.

    Don't forget that if this were like the last WCQ we will be on the outside looking in, needing not only to win both games, but for Uruguay and Paraguay to lose points. IOW, we're not doing better than 4 years ago, just being helped by the insane number assigned to Conmebol.

    Going back to the previous cycles. Pekerman was a seasoned veteran by the time he got to us.
    This is Lorenzo's very first job as a National team manager. And he barely had experience as the the head guy at club level too before us.

    he keeps making the same mistake !! Not making subs on time cost us vs Argentina. our legs were gone.... MF was gone and we were getting over run by a team with 1 player less. I mean how many times does this have to cost us for him to figure it out?

    For how many years have we made the comment that our players look tired? Yet time and again Nestor fails to maximize the 5 subs we are allowed to use when it matters the most….

    that’s on the manager for handling load management poorly

    He had some bad games but overall it was a solid wcq. That's why there was less complains different from now

    We didn't go through a stretch this bad. And yea people won't care if we have a solid world cup, but it's understandable for people to be worried after a string of bad coaching decisions, results, and bad play.

    It's good to see accountability. Id like to see same from Munoz and Cordoba, etc. That's the leadership this team needs.

    Own up to it and play better the next game.

    It's true he screwed up bad, but Lorenzo screwed up more, especially since it was the third time in a row. Don't know what the deal was with Roman, did he want to help him get a transfer? I saw he had some heart problem in the league just days after. Or maybe he's been listening too much on the critics that claim he ignores players from FPC, either way really crappy sub.

    he was trying to place a second full back on the wing same strategy Peru did against Colombia to shut us down since we like to play wide
