So may be Foyth or Mammana will be paired up with Mori who is error prone… Hows Kanneman?
What is Mexico squad???
Look at our opponent—
Goalkeepers: Jesus Corona (Cruz Azul), Hugo Gonzalez (Necaxa), Guillermo Ochoa (Standard Liege)
Defenders: Edson Alvarez (America), Jesus Angulo (Santos Laguna), Gerardo Arteaga (Santos Laguna), Nestor Araujo (Celta de Vigo), Diego Reyes (Fenerbahce), Miguel Layun (Villarreal)
Midfielders: Jesus Gallardo (Monterrey), Luis “Chaka” Rodriguez (Tigres), Javier Guemez (Queretaro), Erick Aguirre (Pachuca), Victor Guzman (Pachuca), Jesus Duenas (Pachuca), Isaac Brizuela (Chivas), Erick Gutierrez (PSV), Javier Aquino (Tigres), Roberto Alvarado (Cruz Azul), Marco Fabian (Eintracht Frankfurt),
Forwards: Henry Martin (Club America), Alan Pulido (Chivas), Angel Zaldivar (Chivas), Raul Jimenez (Wolves)
Jesus Corona and Herrera from Porto?, Lozano, Lainez? Mexico B?
If we are going to build the team then we must gonna to get rid of ‘ holes’ that can sink our ship like Pavon,may be Meza,Salvio
Pavon should never be on Argentine team.He does not have even basic skills of a winger.First ,he is not mature or intelligent enough to read the game( even in WC 2018),he can not pass the ball safely in penalty box,if he is surrounded by incoming defenders always lose the ball in this area he should learn from Acuna.
Jacquain Correa is best for us.He is far better than this shitty Pavon.Sampoli made many mistakes Pavon is one of them
May be Messi wanted pavon
“he should learn from Acuna.” ??? Acuna is a wasteful passer too, he miss 5-10 meter basic passes regularly, garbage, Pavon at least fast and young, Acuna is older and so average, zero creativity and technically even worse than Pavon, yes hardworker but we are Argentina not Peru or Venezuela right?
Unfortunate but not the end of the world, still have Mammana, Foyth and Kanneman all of whom could use NT experience. Also Scaloni could call Defensa’s pair (Barboza-Martinez) even though I see no way of that happening.
No problem
Still we have balls
Mammana Foyth Kanneman F.Mori are there and Mercado too can play there…we need such versatile players in emergency situations….
It is very bad to lose so many players due to injury
one unwritten rule from the past teach us that the players that come from Europe mostly
their clubs forbid them to play in the national team friendly games because to avoid the risk of injury and lose them to their club games.
i don t believe that Pezzella is that much injured that he can t play.
probably Fiorentina make this agreement with AFA to avoid the risk of get injured more.
the same way i believe exist for the half of the so called injured players we have.
it is very simple really. in 10 days that the championships will start again if we see that one player play normal to the club game it means that his injured wasn t big just they trick us.
if not play it means that the injury was serious.
always i use this way to understand the truth.
so in 10 days i will know the truth.
You’re right. Happens all the time. World cup 14, Di Maria and Real are a good example
Nothing new really! Everytime a match for our beloved team is just before to start, i am sure that before i visit this site i will read a new injury! Almost all of our core players with whom we are supposed to build our new team are out, the same that happened against Brazil, despite the fact that the so called “mighty” shitty yellow team fielded their best 11 and still hardly managed a victory agains us!
Irritating to say the least!
No point of stating the obvious>>>>why why why, WHY ALWAYS ARGENTINA AND INJURIES!?
it is what it is, lets move on.
Scaloni may have called some players as replacement
What the hell is happening? 60% of our core players are injured. What if this happens just before the Copa ?? I hope the clubs aren’t forcing our coach and management to not play their valued players . These friendlys are very important for us to build up chemistry!! Damned!!
my friend you believe that this is coincidence?
i don t think so.
the clubs don t care about our national team but probably AFA can t do something about that.
Scaloni can t do something too.
believe me before Copa like before every big tournament nobody pretend the injured because everybody want to be in the squad.
@cox4
that maybe the truth.
this team should be named as INJURY albiceleste, looks like most of the argentine players are made up of glass Because everythime this happens , when the time comes to for argentina 4-5 players get injured.
To be honest I’m happy that our main CB pair Otamendi pazella are out from friendlies, now these friendlies can give clear idea for bench strength, all eyes on Foyth now plus kanemaan
This is bad!
our best 2 CB are out (Ota is the other one). The NT is cursed. I really wanted to see Pezzella and Mammana side by side
Ughhhhhhhhhhh
Bro I don’t see problem pezzela
Not playing against Mexico
I want see how mammana and
Foyth play together because
Those two more likely to be
Our future center backs along
With Romero but no make
Mistake about it pezzela will be
Our leader in the back next
Few years as well
This will make it harder to assess the players quality and cohesion to pick the best possible 23 for Copa19.
@ebo my friend
You know there ‘re certain players
Will be going copa America if they
Stay injury free regardless
1 Romero
2 Armani
3 pezzela
4 otamendi
5 saravia
6 Taglafigio
7 acuna
8 paredes
9 lo celso
10 palacios
11 dybala
12 icardi
13 l martinez
14 Pavon
15 ascaciber
16 mammana
Weather our friends here agree or not
Those will definitely going to copa squad
That is me be logic you know
I already gave you the list i would
Take if i was up to me
But we must know what want and
What the coaching people want ‘re Absolutely different
Yes. Good that Foyth, Mammana get s chance. But the rate of injuries is alarming. Is this a club pressure tactic or genuine problem?
Ill get hate for this but if I were “EMPORER” CHORIPAN, id going with following:
1) KP – Romero
2) KP – Armani
3) KP – Gazziniga
4) CB – Otamendi
5) CB – Pezzella
6) CB – Mammana/Foyth
7) FB – Tagliafico
8) FB – Saravia
9) FB – Mercado
10) FB – Acuna
11) MID – Paredes
12) MID – Lamela
13) MID – Lo Celso
14) MID – Palacios
15) MID – Ascacibar
16) MID – Banega
17) FWD – Dybala
18) FWD – Messi
19) FWD – Pavon
20) FWD – Di Maria
21) ST – Aguero
22) ST – Icardi
23) ST – Martinez
I’m sure I’ve forgotten someone or at least have time picking instead like Foyth, Pity, Battaglia, Pererya
3 KP
3 CB (Mammana can also play FB)
4 FB (Mercado can also play CB, Acuna can also play mid or wing)
6 MID (missing extra destroyer like Battaglia)
4 FWD
3 ST
(3 goalie rule is stupid. I bet 99% of all tournaments only 2 were used)
good call!
balanced list
Preyera,benedetto and pitty might squeeze in
@choripan @ebo
If that squad is balance
What will your lin up be
Just curious … ?
By the way no hate bro
That is your choice and I
Respect that
Pity & Lanzini is definitely in . I would drop DiMaria , Banega & LMartinez ( will keep an extra defender . If icardi, aguero or Dybala (false striker) don’t do well – we are anyway screwed) . While Di Maria & Banega are in good form – they are definitely not going to last till 2022 & they had enough chances. Lets invest in youth to prepare better for WC2022. Also for me i see Pavon over rated – i would put ACorrea there who can be a great sub on Right Wing/Fwd.
the Only thing I agree with is Lanzini, not sure if he would back by Copa
yeah, Lanzini for sure but as Ebo said, not sure if hell be fit by then. A Correa also great so tough choice. As for “lasting through 22”, thats almost 4 years from now. Priority right now is Copa america in 7 months.
yeah, all great options but tough choice on who they would replace.
As things stand today, I would take Benedetto in place of Icardi or L.Martinez. but most likely in place of Icardi and play inverted wingers
If that squad is balance
What will your lin up be
Just curious … ?
Why do you think it’s not balanced? because it has half of the seniors in it?
This is a very balanced all around List of players by experience, talent, and age.
If Lanzini would be available, I would drop Palacios or Dybala.
@Choripan might get upset now. 🙂
Bro I don’t think I’m upsetting Anyone here is only matter opinion On the parper that squad looks well
Balance … personally I will leave di maria Icardi
@ebo
Lol
Darnit Paulo, he was supposed to be the chosen one!
@godin11
Who would pick instead icardi (Bendetto) and Di Maria (Correa, de Paul, pity, etc)?
@godin11
No, I said about Choripan because he is a massive Dybala fan. not you Bro 🙂
Respect bro our discussion has to Be health the way I see is majority
People in here they want good for Argentina some like certain players
Some want unknown young players Some are balance
@ebo
Lol
Darnit Paulo, he was supposed to be the chosen one!
@godin11
Who would pick instead icardi (Bendetto) and Di Maria (Correa, de Paul, pity, etc)?
Yeah bro I would take
Pity and correa or
Benedetto sure
Oh no….this is the worst one. Are they going to select another player to replace him? Lisandro martinez of DyJ is raising a lot of hype maybe him
