Zanetti Milito Mascherano Burdisso
Banega Cambiasso
Messi Aguero Lavezzi
Tevez
I would also use that formation except:
Aguero-------Messi--------Di maria
-------------Higuain--------------

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
Lavezzi was terrible , shouldve been redcard too imo, such a weak mentality.
Aguero should start next match...
I dont know what to do about Tevez. I like him a lot but he wasn't impressive.
i think Messi did what he could within the team's limits. There is no Xavi, no Iniesta there..
Milito was kind of slow.
I actually Zanetti tried very hard, it wasnt that bad a performance from him.
But as a good Brazilian, I have to write this: LMAO favorites?????????????????????????????????? Guess who scored for Bolivia? A Brazilian! It's a preview of what's to come LOL /trolling

I STAYED UP SO LATE.
And then I fell asleep 20 minutes before kick-off.
Should have gone out instead. Damnit.

It's funny for as much hate as Maradona got for poorly managing Argentina, it seems he was light years ahead of Batista.

Good for us. Having Aguero not on the pitch is only a good thing for Brazil

Indeed lol.
Why he won't play Kun and also Higuain, or even Pastore beats me completely.
Argentina needs one of those mercenary coaches - a non-argentinian sure-fire coach. Someone who isn't affected by the consensus in the country etc.

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
Di Maria should be played on the right....
he will be a lot more effective
Higuain and/or Aguero should start over Tevez if last game wasnt obvious enuf
Lavezzi was just pathetic.... there was nothing good about him

Argentina badly needs Pastore to start. Banega is their only source of creativity from the midfield. Forget Zamparini's ridiculous quotes, Pastore is one of the best young playmakers in the world.

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
I think Messi should be more selfish, really. There were like 2 occasions where he could've easily smashed it in (like his goal v Man U or Kobenhavn) but squared it to Tevez and Lavezzi.
ADM's crosses can be easily converted to goals by Higgy, too. If times are hard and small, quick players who beat defenders easily aren't doing much bring out Higgy.
Things can turn out like Barca v Inter at San Siro 2010 for Argentina, if everyone follows Bolivia's showing last night..
I want this for next game:
---------GK-----------
-------Defence--------
Banega-Masche-Cambiasso
--Aguero--Messi--Di Maria-
If no goal in 45-60 mins
a 4-2-3-1 with the following attack:
-Messi-Pastore-Di Maria---
-------Higuain----------

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
That idiot Batista is not going to change his "tactics"(or lack thereof).
If your tactics are so bad that even Messi can't do much then even a 5 year old should see that there is a problem in the midfield. Banega can't be Creating, Defending and Distributing at the same time like what Batista expects him to do. Leave him to defend and distribute and throw pastore in there to attack
Also, I would start Garay over Milito and Zabaleta over Rojo.
Aguero and Higgy must start alongside Messi. Whenever Higgy starts we almost always win

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
I don't know how a coach could look at all of the options Argentina has at the forward position on the current team and even some that were not chosen and choose Lavezzi to start. I know he is not usually that bad, but there is a clear gap in talent from him and Kun, Di Maria, Higuain and others.
It is quite clear that Argentina have a ton of similar forwards. short, fast/quick and need the ball to create goals for themselves. Higuain needs to start. If he played last night he would have had a couple goals. He is one of the best pure finishers/poachers (he sometimes gets critisized for this) in the team/world plus he has great pace.
It's weird. Everyone who coach's Argentina out thinks themselves. Just put the best 11 players out there and don't use Messi as a CMF. Also every coach seems to want to drop Higuain including his club coach's/ Perez and all he does is score goals.

That is, these tactics were in fact an admission of inferiority. From this perspective, Bolivia were actually praising us
LOL what a typical excuse, it's exactly what Barcelona fans say about INter back in 2010, and the same thing many people say about Barcelona(!!!) because of them keeping the possession and not letting the other team play.. and so on.
Bolivia were smart. Everyone knows Argentina are better, why would they treat them as equals? Look at what happened to RM against Barcelona last year... 0-5..

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
Lavezzi is not a bad player. Not at all. It's his shitty attitude that doesn't help him. He needs to learn to be humble and not bitch about every f'ing decision not going his way. He needs to focus all that on the pitch. He had some magical moments.
Higuain is badly needed, IMO. You need a natural goalscorer to make use of all those chances. Argentina reminded me of Bayern but without Gomez. I agree either Cambiasso or Mascherano need to be used, but not both. I'd like to see Pastore. Banega was great for me but he can't do everything alone.
Also, Zanetti = God.

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
Lavezzi had his biggest game ever with the national team, he was nervous and frustrated. I don't think it's fair being too harsh on him. Tevez, on the other hand, is used to playing this sort of game for Argentina and was absolute shit. I don't want to see him in the same pitch ever again. He simply cannot play with Messi in the roles he was given: LW & CF. Di Maria, Higuain or Aguero should all be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Re: Why did Argentina play so badly today?
I agree, to me, Lavezzi did much more than Tevez did. Tevez was slow and lumbering, slowed passing down IMO and had 0 creativity.
I know most guys don't like playing with 4 enanos up front, but in this case it's best to just bench him. Once Higuain recovers you have a decently tall guy up front, anyways.
