Deuce Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 @lee_ryder: #Argentina didn't sparkle tonight but got the result, #resultsbusiness Thanks Lee I'm not going to bother watching any games. Just read Lee's posts. You know he's say at home, stained sweat pants on, eating last nights leftovers. Smugly tweeting that like he's some sort of sage. He's matsurbated to 4Music 3 times tonight. He deserves all sorts of criticism for spouting the bullshit that he does, but he also seems like the kind of guy who'd off himself because of it, unfortunately.

ponsaelius Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I just wonder why Sabella hates Tevez. Because they're much better without his candyass getting in the way. They're not though. They really aren't better without him. Yes they are. They've been far better since they f***ed him off and his whole hero of the people nonsense stopped getting in the way of Messi and Aguero. If he's on the bench there's always pressure to play him. Argentina have been liberated since the end of Copa America 2011 and they took him out of the equation altogether. Problem with your argument is in my opinion that you're completely leaving out the most important part of the equation and that is that neither Sergio Batista or Maradona manages this team. For once they've had a competent manager, and you'll find very few people who agree that they look better than they would without Tevez. Obviously it's impossible to prove, but I'm just saying that without Higuain, Aguero and Messi they've never looked very convincing. They lost to Venezuela, drew to Bolivia at home and away, Peru away, Colombia home and had other weak performances without one or more of the top three and I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have been the case had Tevez played instead of Lavezzi, Sosa, Palacios, Alvares or whoever played instead. It's obviously all hypothetical and you know I respect your opinion since I know you've watched them and isn't just inventing stuff On the whole though, their results and performances have been far better without Tevez. There was always the temptation (and pressure on the manager) for him to play and he and Messi frequently got in each others way. There's no doubt in my mind they've been liberated by removing Tevez out of the equation. It's not always about having the best players but having the best system and the best group of personalities. You say Tevez would have been better under the current manager but its 100% the current manager's decision to get rid. It was never a possibility. The other thing with Tevez for me is that he individually never played well for Argentina anyway, worse than Messi in fact despite all the criticism he gets at international level. 13 goals in 64 internationals is a poor record on paper as well.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Argentina had a number of chances to end this match and wasted them all. Annoying for my purposes that they only won by the odd goal. Neither team looked very solid at all defensively. Iran is probably the best defence in the group, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to latest report, Queiroz is pulling a Low/Wilmots. Playing 2 CBs at fullback, and 2 attacking fullback as wingers, leaving two of our Europe based players on the bench. An early goal should open the game up...but I somehow doubt we'll see an early goal. Hope Shola starts as trequarista in that #10 role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the reports are true and everyone is still fit, it will be this imo: Enyeama Ambrose Oboabona Omeruo Oshaniwa Onazi Mikel Obi Azeez Musa Moses Emenike I think the only way Shola appears is if the team is desperate for a goal and wants a "dominant" aerial presence in the box. I'm hoping for 2-0 to the SE, but the day is finally here, so we will see in ~17.25 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The different national teams posters here support never ceases to surprise. I'd never have pegged GeorgeCostanza as an Iran supporter. I guess this is what happens when you don't spend all your time on N-O, and just pop in and out a couple of times a day. NUFC's like a global BDSM club, all of us in it for the pain, regardless of nationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I don't think he even played badly, people just like to complain and go overboard about clearly brilliant players when they're under par. 2010 was fair enough, he was total dogshit, but he was okay in that match I thought, shit corner aside.

Assist aside he was rotten man. Disagree entirely. What did he do then? He missed a chance where the keeper dived out of the way. He took the ball off Barkley just as he was about to shoot. He sliced a corner straight out. And he played two or three nice crossfield passes. He constantly drifted infield and left us too narrow. That is something I've noticed about him at International level. You play him as your centre forward and he drops deep ball searching leaving us bereft up front. You play him wide left and he drifts in leaving us narrow. So if we must pick him, give him a free role . I think he'd benefit us floating behind a front three with the license to roam.

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I agree with your point about where to play him, I just don't think he was 'useless' or anywhere near as bad as anyone has suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think he was a negative effect on the overall balance of the team - so I wouldn't say it's his fault but I wouldn't start him there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 He took the ball off Barkley who was running straight into a centre back, and the shot he missed was hardly criminal, he tried to place it into the bottom corner and missed by a foot. The fact the keeper went the wrong way made it look like he'd missed an open target. I was pissed off with him after the game like most people I was with but in hindsight he didn't do too bad, I expect and hope he has better games in the tournament like.
