FC Barcelona negotiating loan deal with Ajax for Nicolás Tagliafico

1. Free flowing attack is a POS for telling bad things about Scaloni.

2. Guido Rodriguez tested positive for COVID last minute. It’s a shame, he has been playing well lately.

   • Grrr that’s a shame

   • the rumor is that Scaloni is considering calling up someone from the local league (it is probably a lot easier at this point in time due to the late notice). Personally I would call up Ascacibar if I could, he is having an underrated season in Germany and is very high up statistically for tackles and pressures for midfielders in the top five leagues (95th percentile for each respectively). I think he could provide decent cover to Paredes right now.

     • What about Dominguez? Someone mentioned he’s doing well in the 5 role

       • I don’t exactly see him as an out and out DM, but neither is Paredes so it certainly is possible. He is much less lazy than Paredes with high tackling numbers and pressures. I am pretty confused with his situation, I think he’s getting a shoulder surgery soon and that’s why he wasn’t called up, which is a shame given his recent form and the fact that he could be given a chance this time as a result of Guido’s absence.

3. Our players have started to arrive at Ezeiza in Buenos Aires…

4. Line up next match
   (4231)
   Emi MartineZ
   Molina…Ottamendi…Licha Martinez…Acuna
   De paul…..paredez
   Dimaria….dybala…..lo celso
   Lautaro
   Sub
   Buendia for dimaria
   Alvarez for lautaro
   Angel correa for lo celso
   Papu gomez for dybala

5. Sevilla will be very good for gio..They play champions League and obviously better than spurs.

6. Argentina have huge lacking in coaching staff.only Argentina team have dumb coach like scaloni.he would get real test of failure when he will met in wc against world class manager.

   • He won Copa America on Brazilian soil, just FYI.

     • Copa win didn’t justify that he is world class.

       • Yes it does

       • I mean there are levels in between world class coach and terrible coach. Still got great results you can’t ignore that

   • Scaloni is a much better coach than Deschamps, who won the last WC. Keep telling yourself he sucks, perhaps the title will switch to Brazil

7. I would like to see following line up in next match.
   ……………..Emi Martinez………….

   montiel…otamendi….lisandro…Acuna

   ……………….paredes………………
   ..de paul……………..lo celso/Buendia…

   …..Dybala…………….Nico gonzalez..
   ………………Lautaro………….

   • Two concerns friend: if it’s a 4-3-3 then Dybala might struggle with an inverted winger role on the right. He is at his best through the middle, just behind a striker.

     Also, not sure how Buendia might do in a deeper midfield role. A lot of people think he would be just fine but I’ve only seen him play on the wings or as a number 10, much closer to the opponents’ goal. He might do well though in central midfield, not enough data to confirm.

     • Buendia have the ability to press and tackle. Anyway either him or lo celso both can bring balance to attack and defend.

       I didnt put too much attention on formation , my idea is Dybala will cut inside from right side.

8. Sevilla are interested in Lo Celso.

   • That would be a great move for him, especially given that so many of our other players are there but there’s one complicating factor, that is Lo Celso played for their bitter rivals Betis. Not insurmountable but some players also don’t want to play for the rivals of their former teams.

     • I think the players who don’t like to play for their former teams’ rivals are those who grew up in the team or spent a long time with the team. Lo celso is neither of that, so I think there isn’t any barrier for him to join Sevilla now.

       • Hopefully, that would be amazing if he joins and plays and links with Papu, Ocampos, Montiel, Acuna and Lamela.

     • I would absolutely love Lo Celso to go to Sevilla, but I have that same doubt about him going to a rival club. Same thing with people talking about Emi Martinez going to Tottenham. We will see, it may be as Dadir says and I hope it is

       • Agree with Dadir, he only played one season. No loyalty and I wouldn’t expect supporters to be bitter.

   • Holy that’s a dream dream given they’re packed with argies and I much prefer Spain for development

     • Just say it true 😍😍😍😍Lo Celso need to leave spurs

9. Benitez got his French nationality.. he will.go play with France.. but noooo.. lord Armani and Andrada is so much better… friends and family national team.. argentina could only win upcoming world cup by luck.. poor selection over and over.. Pezalla..Armani..andrada.. these players are wasting time in this squad.. lo celso is NOT CONSISTENT!!! I PREFER BUINDIA AS STARTER OVER HIM..

   • I’d take armani and andrada over him any day they have played on bigger teams won more and have been better plus he is not gonna play over lloris or magnian, and dibu or musso either way that man ain’t getting any minutes

10. How well european team organised their fullback and they are really good to use their fullback relentlessly.Argentina is lacking this method.they are not capable to do this.taglifico is not the kind of this tactics.scaloni should solve this problem.

    • Reminder: it was Renan Lodi who allowed De Paul’s pass to reach Di Maria. On the other hand Acuña and Tagliafico when he came on completely shut down Brazil’s attack on the right.

      • Agree it was lodi’s mistake but i talking about Europe.

      • I still have faith in Tagliafico, he has time before the WC to rediscover his form. Nico Gonzalez and Licha Martinez can fill in if needed.

    • News flash, the days of Marcelo and Dani Alves are past. Now you guys are left with Danilo and Alex Sandro, maybe you should consider taking a look at yourself. England have significantly better full backs than Italy yet Italy beat them.

11. Argentina don’t have world class LB.this position will suffer in wc.

    • Acuña is a starting LB for Sevilla, one the best teams in Spain.

      • He is not fast.acuna was suffering when tite added extra attack then scaloni sent taglifico.

        • As game was tilting towards right side because of Neymar so Acuna got alone in left side that is why Scaloni called Tagliafico in place of Lo celso and Acuna played full 90 minutes, he is one of the best in LB position.

          • Have to agree with Kevin here, Acuna was suffering simply because Lo Celso was exposed and a lot of space was left open. That is why Lo Celso was switched for Tagliafico instead of Acuna

        • No yellow fan, Acuna is a fine left-back, he has everything you would want in a fullback. Better than Lodi and Alex Sandro that’s for sure.

          • But Argentina need his replacement.imagine if acuna injured middle stage of the wc how Argentina will adapt this situation.

12. It’s better to be on Barcelona bench than Ajax bench..!

13. It will be good for Tag if he could make a move to Barca. Hopefully it can be done
