Posted a new thread with stats from yesterday’s game and a brief mention of the Recopa.

Before I get shit for posting news everyone knows about, it’s mainly for anyone who wasn’t able to watch the game, as well as to not have too many comments piling up on one one thread. Chau.

me? I am just a guy who loves to watch possessive, collective, and at the same time efficient football. No wonder i’ve been following Argentina and Barcelona for quite a while.

Albo,
You apparently didn’t follow Barca 07. Otherwise, the possessive and collective football you are talking about won’t do shit if you are not creating considerable amount of goal scoring chances.

As for Maxilopez comment addressed to our defensive problem, i would rather win by 5-4 margin rather than 1-0.

Sorry guys, i am not a big fan of defending. Imp, attack is the best strategy to defend.

Thanks Debasish, I got it to work .

I hope Batista uses the 3-6-1 again. It worked very well with the subs and can only look better with the starters. Pareja so far looks as our best defender, Di Maria our best midfielder and Lavezzi, obviously, as the most active forward. What do you guys think?

My predicted lineup:
———–Ustari————
–Pareja—-Garay/Masch—-Fazio
——-Banega/Masch–Gago——-
Zabaleta—–Riquelme—Di Maria
—–Messi———————
——–Lavezzi/Aguero——–
If Riquelme doesnt perform the first half he should be subd for Bounanotte by the start of the second.

Martín Palermo, Boca’s old and wise striker is a talented man who knows his job well.
He is gifted. And that gift is patience.
The most important thing our olyimpic team needs now is patience.
Know the you have the game to win the gold.
Anxiety makes you make mistakes.
Take your time and find your rhythm.

Same goes for some bloggers ha ha

German Denis has scored for Napoli in his first UEFA cup match. Good for him. I’d like to see him score tons – become legendary like Batigol.

DEBASISH,
Mascherano is a bit like Ayala and jumps like a kangouroo! He’s not a central defender of course. But it doesn’t disturb you to see Banega on the bench? I am happy to not be a coach and decide for this kind of stuff…
Buonanotte is funny isn’t it? I love these players who have all the physical inconvenients for the modern futbol world, but still manage to bring magic, technique & creativity. He reminds me a bit Aimar but even smaller!

PEOPLE,
Zabaleta will never be our great Zanetti so lets stop complaining about him. Zabaleta is very correct and has some qualities. We have nobody better than him. He is and will be our right back.

MESSI10,
I didn’t compare the quality of our performances between 06 games & the last one. I compared the beauty felt by myself that was very similar. I criticize Messi and I’ve already explained you why. Argentina’s problems are in defence not in attack, by the way. ALBO has nicely & cleverly responded to you concerning the possession strategy.

AJNYHC,
I agree with you about the second strikers supporting a #9. Tevez & Aguero should never say these words to the press. They should talk to their NT coaches instead. They deserve to sit on the bench for saying this.
I hope so much that Batista will play 3-5-2. It’s very important! I’m excited too.

GOLAZO,
How did Roman play for you at la Copa? Good or bad?

Thanks Albo. I hope Di Maria starts instead of Aguero. Unless Aguero has shown better form in the practice sessions. Riquelme will have to own this game. Control the tempo and really take it to the Dutch.
