  1. One thought I is coming in my mind. Is it possible to play Senesi as a left back. Like Scaloni some times use Foyth as RB. If Scaloni play Senesi as left back Molina can attack more. I believe Senesi is less error prone than foyth. More reliable. For experiment Scaloni should choose Estonia match. Also I believe Buendia should be selected as we have very less number of mid fielders.
    Neuhan perez out Buendia in.
    Montiel out Paredes in.

    Enzo perez is also a good option. But I am sure Buendia will be included in squad in next match

    • Enzo perez is very old no need to call him. Senesi is slow so better not to play him at left back. If you want to try another player apart from acuna or tagliafico thn it should be medina not senesi

      • It is better to try lisandro at left back than Senesi if there is an immediate need. No need of any other new player like Medina. Even Nico can be placed in the left back position and papu be a 3rd option as the left winger behind maria and Nico.

        • Our most players are suitable for more than 1 position. That would be a great benefit for scaloni.
          Lisandro- CB, DM
          Foyth- CB, RB
          Acuna- LB, LMF
          Molina- RB,RMF
          De Paul- CMF, DM, AMF
          Lo celso- CMF, AMF, LMF, SS
          Palacios- DM, CMF
          Papu- CMF, AMF, LW
          Nico- LW, LMF, LB
          Still it’s all about scalonis cunningness and intelligence that should make the difference.

        • Enzo Fernandez is an absolute necessity hope he gets the chance to travel to qatar. He is very talented he is the only one who can replace depaul. We can without him bt only if every starters play every match and no injury or suspension happens thats quite unlikely

      • right no more junior needed we have enough players on all position (senior) just need great coaching skill techniques etc
        remember we couldn’t win even copa for such a long time
        this time we did it so there are a reason
