Great work from Dybala. Pressed and pressed again. Lovely finish. Some crisp passing, stretching the width of the pitch.
Nobody should question Di Maria's ability to pull something like that against big team. Dybala looked sharp so far.
Very free flowing passing, very fluid formation and rather high risk at the back. de Paul dropping very deep as the playmaker. Guido looks a little lost needs to be doing that job a little better. Or perhaps Lo Celso can do a little more working back. Dybala a completely free role. Looks like he is really relishing it and determined to make an impression. Throwing himself about as well. Acuna and Molina are really pushing forward. If we can win the ball with a little more ease in midfield we could score a few here.
Always scored big goals. Such a cruel twist of fate that he was not in the final. A fit di Maria, Messi and Kun would have dispatched bogey eater and that horrible team.
This referee is yet another clown. Seems to be an inexhaustible supply in CONMEBOL. Dybala wins the ball and gets penalized with a card.
Another bizarre decision to play on. While Lo Celso gets chopped down with no recall to a free kick. Who is this numskull ?
We;ve seen him doing great against attacking sides, but not against bunkering team where he'd hold the ball too long until gets cornered to the touchlines.
Lucky escape. de Paul has had a bad game by his standards. Three giveaways one of which nearly results in a goal.
Lucky escape. I always thought we often played too casually at the backline, I know our guys are confident with the ball but still... If we could hit one more, they probably will deplated midway in second half.
Uruguay is fighting for their lives right now. Hunting down every ball. They’re all over us. We need to get control of the ball.
He is. When he gets the ball he needs to hit a couple over the top bypassing the press for di Maria or Lautaro to chase out wide. He has tried it once but it did not come off. Would prefer to see Licha in for Guido and de Paul moved into central midfield.
A Uruguay goal is coming if we continue to play like this. They are going to gas but this is not a good showing.
Get de Paul up the pitch and Dybala more central. He seems to be wandering out wide more often than not. Lo Celso needs to up his game as well.
Its probably Scaloni's idea to have compact defence and only hit on counter. , but without RDP getting involve in the attack, we've been unable to get the ball forward. The ball never reach Di Maria, Lautaro and Dybala. I agree RDP or anyone needs to hit some long ball especially with Di Maria's playing, we needs to use his countering ability.
