When you arrive at Chara playing a bunch of minutes, you start Perez and Murillo what experiments are you doing other then punting on mediocre/bad players? Experimenting with young up and coming players makes a lot of sense, sitting Cuadrado and Duvan and some others for the final game and giving others a chance makes sense, barely playing Muriel when you need a win and using Chara as the first guy off the bench doesn't really scream experiment it screams the opposite, he's defaulting to guys he knows, the problem is these guys we know do not have a ceiling high enough to be playing at this level and the others arguably do, but weren't given much of a chance. Its a head scratcher on multiple levels.

We have all had this conversation before. Most managers go with guys they know very well and trust within their tatctics. Chara, Perea and Murillo all fit the bill.

We must also keep in mind that we really do not know how things look behind the scenes in training. All the young kids could have looked like garbage or slow to pick up things for all we know. It is all speculation on my behalf but it is not far fetched.

It is not a head scratchier to me knowing how he trusts those players and how he barely knows most of the younger guys.

I get it, people view it differently and think that he should have used this time to integrate a lot of new faces and new blood but I can see why he would stick with much of the old vets and people he already knows.

He had a month with these people…

between qualifiers and copa america

he also had 28 open roles for copa america.

didn’t most coaches in the past Bring more players then start dropping them?

he did a big scramble at the end for players. I mean part can be the Colombian league being idiotic and still playing during qualifiers. But if he wanted Fuentes junior would have had to give him. Same with the Tolima/Millos guys

month isn't anything.

if you take a bunch of people you need more time to get to know them, it was easier for him to spend the time telling them how he wanted them to play instead of having to learn who these guys are and on top of that teach them his ways
