Ecuador vs Uruguay 11 de Octubre 2013, 17:00, Eliminatorias.

the only place i know is legionamarilla ,there they have it on a small screen ,making it bigger looks blury but better than nothing.

 

I feel like our only hope against Chile is to attack them. It would be nice to agree to a tie but FIFA rankings mean a lot this time around for the WC. It determines seeding and a loss for Colombia (they play Paraguay -_-) combined with an Ecuador or Chile win can mean a lot to these three teams. I say we attack them because that is the only way of exposing Sampaoli's flaw of playing too offensively. Remember their starting RB (would have defended Montero) is out after the red card during the Colombia game. Imagine Fidel and Montero linking up around that side of the field! I guess you can say we can chill and defend for 90 minutes but with Guagua or Achilier defending we would most likely end up getting scored on. This could also be a good chance to experiment a more offensive lineup with Ibarra or Martinez alongside Montero and Valencia. We are virtually in the world cup...why not give it a shot now?

 

I think for the game vs. Chile we could actually sit Felipe. Remember this is an away game meaning our formation can change and we got the tools to make it work to our advantage. Ecuador needs to play similarly to how they wanted to vs. Colombia. Meaning Ener Valencia as a false 9 again isn't a bad idea. Unless we want to play with someone in the box, then i'd go for Yoya- Martinez both up front or even Yoya-Ener. I'd give Felipe a break. He's given it his all and we've pushed him beyond his limits right now. I think he needs to focus on recovering from that injury right now and forget everything else. If Ener plays as a false 9, i'd consider Mendez as a starter in this line up with Noboa and Castillo behind him. Valencia and Montero far out. I think that would work out just fine vs. Chile. Even if we'd lose at worst it won't be more than 2-0. And if we want to be real, no team has beaten us by more than 1 goal in any away game besides Argentina. Not one team. Unless I'm forgetting someone.

 

Why hasn't the FEF or Chiriboga make a complain to Conmebol about this Ref taking away Joao Rojas goal that was clearly on sides ?

 

Based on how Ecuador played versus Uruguay how likely would you say it is that we can get killed by Chile? I'm pretty worried right now, if we lose3-0 and Argentina loses 3-0 we're getting el repechaje I'm so nervous man

 

Not saying it can't happen, but Ecuador losing 3-0? A catastrophe would have to occur. A red card and a bad ref or combo of both. But if those things don't happen, then it's possible for Ecuador to leave out of there with a tie and why not a win? Chile is defensively poor. They have -24 goals against them. That really bad if you ask me. When Chile attacks they don't have the same balance with Sampaoli between defense and attack that they did with Bielsa. Chile's defense is definitely easier to penetrate than some people here may think. The chances of us leaving Chile with a good result is very possible. Chile may start out very aggressive but if we can counter them with speed im pretty sure some players may pull back a bit to defend. It all depends on how well Ecuador counters. In this game we can actually use Ener as a false 9 like I said. He would be very useful IMO.

i'd go with:

Dominguez; Paredes, Guagua, Erazo, W. Ayovi; Valencia, Noboa, Mendez, Castillo, Montero; Ener Valencia

perfect game for Mendez so we can keep possession. If we have the score to our advantage i'd take out Mendez the last 15 minutes and put in Alex Bolanos....even if we have a tie in our hands i'd take out Mendez and put in Alex Bolanos. If Ener doesn't work out I'd put in Fidel in the second half. Even Renato IBarra can come in for Mendez if we want to be more aggressive and Antonio can move into the middle and Renato can take the wing. Rueda has the material necessary to come out of Chile with a positive result. Especially if we play like we did in Colombia minus the expulsion, penalty misses, and lack of effectiveness in the box. The pressure isn't as high for us IMO. We have the upper-hand right now on Chile and Uruguay w/ goal advantage. And even if Chile manages to win, i doubt it's by more than 1 goal. Anything more than that would be unexpected. I almost forgot we also had Sornoza. We could even play him to replace Ener if we wanted to. So we do have options. I'm confident about the game vs. Chile. Let's not worry too much guys. Like I said, a CATASTROPHE would have to happen at this point for us to not qualify.

 

Very true.
Nevertheless very good game, we looked solid for once.

 

Tomorow's games are going to give me a heart attack man. Rueda has to have us at least push for a tie we can't afford to get shafted with el repechaje after playing so good on Friday. I just hope that we don't pull off the same shit that LDU Quito did in the away legs of the 2008 Libertadores finals and 2009 Sudamericana where we had the titles pretty much secured before the games only to let Flu catch up to us on aggregate goals :s.

 

We're gonna have to lose by 2 0r 3 and Uruguay win by like 3-4 goals.... Even with a Argentina B I don't think Uruguay is gonna win by more than 2 , and I don't see us losing in chile!

 

¿Cómo se siente sentir el GOL en vivo?
