I'm really not trying to troll but I count five finals lost now by Tata Martino. The 2011 Copa America final, 2014 Copa del Rey final, 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals and now the Nations League final. As a fan I can't even take this heartbreak, how is he doing this.— Roy Nemer (@RoyNemer) June 7, 2021
Would rather wait to see how we look in the qualifiers a few games in than this whack fake cup but still yeah, things are not looking promising whatsoever. Reminds me of the bright start chepo had before just falling off the earth
No one is ever happy with anything. Prepare for more heartbreak vatos. We're in a transition phase. Our best players are getting old and we need to play the young guys.
He needs to go, but I'd take as a peace offering I would accept to never call up Antuna or Chaka. But if Mexico doesn't win this Gold Cup, he definitely needs to GTFO.
Antuna is okay as long as he isn't starting and isn't considered ahead of Lozano, Corona and Lainez, but Tata does need to try other options to at least push him for his spot (maybe Érick Sánchez from Pachuca?). And about Chaka, we unfortunately are very thin in his spot: Jorge Sánchez has been struggling as well, Fernando Navarro would probably be bodied by everyone in the area and then we have people like Mozo and Vladimir Loroña. The only other guy I could see in the picture is Kevin Álvarez and he hasn't made his debut for the NT and isn't getting that much burn in the Olympic squad.
Antuna is good but he’s not starter material. He has shown to be more effective coming off the bench If the last set of games haven’t shown Tata that MLS scrubs are just not cut for the NT, then there’s no hope. The only possible exceptions to that rule would be Vela or Chicharito though. Vela has always been at a different level from the rest of the players but he’s got a poor mentality. And with Raul out of the picture our next best option as striker is Chicharito. Henry and Pulido are ass! And the jury is still out on guys like Vega, Macías, Muñoz, etc. Plus, with a good chunk of those guys on the Olympic squad, our options are very limited
Con este señor y con este equipo sin defensa, se ve más probable quedar eliminados en grupos que pasar a 8vos.
Fuera Tata but let’s not go that far. This would be a huge step backwards. Enough with these recycled dopes.
