  1. With the kind of form he is in , I don’t think we need to be concerned he won’t be playing! He has been in an abysmal form especially with his first touch and finishing and if he were to be fit , he would be coming off the bench anyways. For me he isn’t a starting player quality yet as we have better players and we don’t depend on wingers to create chances for us like United.

    • It wasn’t luck that got Argentina 3 titles (and finalisima) in the last 4 years, it was organization, effort and…..abit of luck.
      As for easy matches, well I advise you to be extra careful when talking about CONMBOL WCQ being easy because there are NO easy matches. Remember that some of Sabella’s earliest matches were against Venezuela (away, a loss) and Bolivia (a draw at home).

      • Fully agreed with everything written and specially about those easy matches as there are none in CONMEBOL WCQ’s!

        Most likely players with experience will start against Venezuela and if not yet against Venuzuela, well hopefully against Bolivia we’ll see more of new faces or some who have played for ARGENTINA, but not, that much yet….

        From this list with MAC carrying a knock I will go for :

        Rulli/Musso
        Molina/Montiel ( as there are not really any other RB options included in this list..?)

        OTA and LICHA or what I would like is Balerdi and LICHA,( but I think it won’t happen against Venezuela, but hopefully against Bolivia..?)

        TAGLI ( and hopefully see a bit of Soler too at some point..?)

        LO CELSO, ENZO, RDP
        JULIAN, TORO, MESSI ( on kind of the right, but in free role as he is used to)

        Subs: Palacios, Almada, Buanotte, Paz and Carboni and hopefully Soler too..?

        Also there might be a chance for 4-4-2 and if so if MESSI most likely to start, then I would prefer Julian with him and bring Tiro as sub..?
