Kanji Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Probably would be better off having wor Federico Fernandez in the back line to keep it simple and actually play as a proper CB. Give Dybala and Messi pure freedom to wreck the opposition and have Aguero or Icardi as the main focal point striker. Get 2 holding guys who will break up play and press and then add some pace in another attacking midfielder who will play as a 10/box to box and you have a team.

triggs Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Forgot Fernandez was Argentinian, he'd probably be an improvement actually which is quite grim Probably would be better off having wor Federico Fernandez in the back line to keep it simple and actually play as a proper CB.

Get 2 holding guys who will break up play and press and then add some pace in another attacking midfielder who will play as a 10/box to box and you have a team. Its a lot easier said than done like. Dybala and Messi can't just wreck the opposition, they'd probably just be getting in each other's way against a team defending really deep and packing the midfield which is how teams generally play against Argentina. I've watched the vast majority of competitive Argentina games for the last few years and I don't think people understand how defensive teams play against them. Teams pack the midfield and they don't have the width to punish that. Instead what they do, and it happened loads of times the other night is that they pass it around for a while, get frustrated, then try a one two/dribble into a congested area, then usually lose it and the other team has loads of space for the counter because all of Argentina's midfielders bar Paredes are out of position. This is why I'd always start Di Maria as frustrating as he is as he stays wide and actually gives another option Also I don't think those 2 holding players you talk about exist in Argentina, unless we're talking about getting completely garbage players in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mascherano has been a massive loss in that role, even Biglia who I think used to get quite a bit of stick would at least stay in position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Midfield and full backs will forever be the issue. Compounds everything and then you add shit manager after shit manager. And the cherry on top is a macho culture where running around like a tosser with no discipline on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looked to me like Cavani kicked the defender's studs and went down in pain. Maybe they're arguing dangerous play with a high foot but never a pen for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Argentina much better, mainly due to Qatar being more open against them than most teams. Still liable to conceding from a counter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
