Mr. Snrub Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Aye ana, but Lucas Moura is more of an attacking player soI doubt he'd be starting so deep alongside Ramires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 FWIW, from what I've seen of him he does look the business, hope gets a decent amount of playing time in the Copa Amerca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this generation of attacking Brasilian talent, can actually live up to their billing. As their certainly overdue - compared to their tradition anyway, of producing an attacking talent worthy of their legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 With Pato leading the line and if the likes of Naymar, Ganso and Lucas live up the the hype they could win the next World Cup at a canter, especially on home soil. They will still have a top class defence with Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Filipe Luis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I sincerely hope Neymar doesn't live up to the hype, I've a completely biased view of him being a totally arsehat and for no reason bar just not liking him for no reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 He's a bell beyond belief like. I think I've watched him 4 times and he has booked for diving in every game. It's why I can't watch the Brazilian league, it's ridiculous, the forwards get so much leeway for diving and protection it does my head in. Be interesting to see how he reacts when/if he moves to Europe. Robinho had/has the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - he's a class player, but he's certainly got something of the Cristiano Ronaldo about him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I can't watch the Brazilian league, it's ridiculous, the forwards get so much leeway for diving and protection it does my head in. Yup, but you can't deny that it is the biggest talent to emerge since Messi and CRonaldo. I'm sorry but there was all this talk about Ganso (and still is in Brazil of being the best of this generation) but from the few games I've seen of Neymar I've been absolutely stunned by how good of a footballer he is. Just hope he stays in Brazil for a bit more, because he does look the real deal. Still a diving twat and will probably never reach his full potential. I've been less impressed by Lucas from Sao Paulo however, seems to lose the ball to often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is the likely Argentina starting XI just going to be the team that started against Albania? I'd probably put Pastore, Tevez and Aguero in for Biglia, Di Maria and Lavezzi but that's all. I just can't get my head around how bad that group of defenders is though, really is just woeful.

Don't disagree that he isn't ridiculously talented, whether he can make the most of it though is the big question. With right management he could be the next big thing for sure. I just hope if he does go to one of the top European clubs he doesn't get his flair coached out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought so although Biglia probably won't play. It'll be, most likely: Romero Zanetti — Milito — Burdisso — Rojo Banega — Mascherano © — Cambiasso Lavezzi — Messi — Di María Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Cheers I'd prefer to see them going with Pastore rather than Cambiasso but I suppose that defence does need more cover. I'd definitely be starting Aguero over Di Maria as well, but that's probably just because I can't stand him. Hope they get it right, whatever team they go with anyway.

Ginola Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You don't need two holding midfielders (well, maybe that defence does) and I think with one holding player Mascherano would be the better choice of the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You got the wrong idea of Cambiasso then. He's not that much of a holding midfielder. At Inter they got Motta and he plays a bit infront trying to get into spaces upfront too. He's no Mascherano like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I know that, but he's hardly a playmaker is he. Obviously there is middle ground, which Cambiasso lies in, but he's much more defensive minded than he is attacking. Pastore is much more of an attacking threat than Cambiasso would be.

Ok, fair enough, I haven't seen much of Banega and would rather Pastore play ahead of him, but he seems to be very good according to many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
