FT Uruguay 2-1 Nigeria.
Uruguay need to beat Tahiti to qualify, And then face Italy/Brazil. Nigeria need a win against Spain. lulz

Cavani is a joke for the NT, everyone knows that.only 15 goals in his career

gotta give him credit though because its clear he gives 120% on the pitch

Credit has to be given to the Nigeria's CB , the one who had something on his head.

Nigeria poor defending cost them the qualification but they really are improving : Moses, Anichebe, Victor Obina and Obi are going to strengthen the squad

Lets forget what he did this year and judge him on the confed cup, congratulations

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Jun 21, 2013 1:40 am

Are we still using Uruguay to Judge Cavani?

If your club buys him, they're buying him for use in club football no?

So we'll maybe use the 40+ games he plays in his actual position at Club level to judge him rather than an international warm up tournament.

Criticising him is fine, but using these games to judge him overall is just stupid.

"Despite losing 0-10, Tahiti (33%) had more possession against Spain, than England (32%) had vs Italy in Euro 2012"

:bow:

by InteristAli Fri Jun 21, 2013 4:06 am

That's fine but some here act like he's always been shit and whatnot

by McAgger Fri Jun 21, 2013 6:23 am

DId Tahiti have more possession against Spain than Uruguay?? If they did Laughing

by Nishankly Fri Jun 21, 2013 12:37 pm

Yes Messiah, Uruguay had 29% i think Razz

by Guest Fri Jun 21, 2013 6:45 pm

Chelsea would be fools to pay 60 million for Cavani.

by Arquitecto Fri Jun 21, 2013 7:56 pm

Ah the ignorance rears its ugly head again.

If any of you actually watched Uruguay you would study and observe that Cavani is literally being played a winger by Oscar"The Clown"Tabarez.

Its not hard to understand.

and if you actually read the previous posts you would realize that nobody said otherwise .

being deployed on the wing is not an excuse for such abysmal performances with the NT, especially since he played on the wing for two seasons in palermo when amauri was the lone striker , and did it brilliantly . playing on the wing dosen't explain why 90 % of his goals came in friendly games, or why he's prone to miss one on ones and numerous sitters . just last night he missed 3 golden opportunities against a ( defensively ) limited side .

Palermo he was a completely different player with another adaptive skill-set. Players evolve based on how they are trained and under Mazzari he was made to be a pure Prima-Punta. Within the Europa League he was sacrified on the wing 2-3 times to test our Edu Vargas and was nothing like his Palermo side since his game has adapted past that and structurally according to the needs of a CF.

If you do play in your natural position; it equates to utilizing positions according to your desired channels used of placements.

If he is played in his natural position, setting aside his conversion rate (which never was his strong suit) you would see him being used to his strengths which are bullying oppositions from a direct-on attack, movement coming directly by leading the line freedom to exploit the wide spaces on choice rather than restriction.
