No control at all. Paredes and Rodriguez show nothing in midfield. So static unable to pass and carry the ball. Only Lo Celso by himself. The press is non existent and Kun and Leo have barely touched the ball. Armani with an enormous brainfart instead of getting rid of the ball. His kicking is truly appalling. Lack of movement off the ball. What happened Lionel S ? No tempo with the ball and when we have the chance to transition lets just knock it back and side to side. de Paul for di Maria. Foyth for either Guido or Paredes. W need some energy, some hustle and some skill in midfield and out wide. Otherwise it is a draw or worse.
Man these guys look bad. Idk if the moment is too big for them or they’re just not solid enough. DiMaria and Aguero are as bad as ever. I can’t even remember the last time these two showed up for the NT.
I told you this was going to be awful and you all called me "negative". Our defenders and midfielders are simply too bad.
I actually don’t think it is Aguero’s fault at all. We are not getting any balls to him at all. We can have the best forward in the world all-time and he still would not be able to do anything with the way we are playing.
I don't recall ever seeing such an embarrassing display from Argentina. They can't even string 2 passes together in the late part of the first half? Everyone who called for getting rid of the earlier generation...What do we have now? We need guys in the middle such as masche, biglia, benega who actually have skills and can pass the ball around. It should be a gradual rebuild, not a complete rebuild.
You can laugh all you want, but at least he can control the ball. Instead of pass it out of bounds or to the opponents on every single play.
and who actually helping him going forward ? no one. Paredes & Rodriguez hasnt come up with anything useful everytime we're attacking. Di Maria didnt even click with anyone. We need to at least field Lautaro in final 30 minutes. He has been great goalscorer, even when we lost to Venezuela. He's like Aguero with fresher legs.
Like I said, Guido is super average. Shame Palacios had to deal with the injury. With everyone fit, the midfield should be De Paul-Palacios-Lo Celso, with Ascacibar doing the dirty work behind them. Maybe throw in Lanzini if he returns to his pre-injury form. Also BIG LOL to whoever said Biglia has skills and is a good passer
Are you insane? Masch and biglia? Get your head checked. Colombia completely harmless we will win this
We need Lautaro since Messi still roaming in midfield again. Aguero aint getting any partnership upfront.
I have never seen this many missed passes and turnovers in an Argentina game...Maybe you should get your head checked...and your eyes?
Di Maria hasnt been playing for long time in NT, so let just put him in starting line up once tournament begin. Great decision.
I just read someone criticize Paredes. Are you watching the same game? Dude has been really good since the start.
