Spain NT discussion

Navas is going, book it.

He clearly outperformed Mata during the 2nd half of the season.

I think Navas will go for one reason and one reason only..... impact sub.

Someone who can come on and supply extra width and crosses for Llorente to feed on.

Josh calm your andulusian bias for a minute ffs Mata has been fantastic in the 2nd half of the season infact he's been fantastic all season.... if its Mata or Navas then Mata should go all day long....

But Navas will go for reasons i already mentioned but Mata will go too.

then Adrian will fall off the list lol

Both Navas and Mata are going. My squad on page 4 is the most realistic squad all of those. You picked too many average players from the list for two friendlies. Isco on the Euro roster?

Mata's been good, but Navas has been brilliant for the 2nd half....had a poor start but picked it up.

We have people like Mata, if you play Mata on the right we crowd the centre and have no width.....

Navas is one of the most important components to our tactical flexibility and he genuinely has had a great season.....there's a reason Silva got 0 game time last world cup. why Cazorla couldn't even make the squad, it was Navas , he isn't going to be dropped for Mata who spends the majority of his time on the left anyway.

I want Mata to go, but only if he plays on the left.

@Nick.

Oh well..........tough luck.

Thats my plan

for the friendlies

This is my preferred 23 for Spain.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Reina, Valdez.

Defenders: Albiol, Alba, Arbeloa, Pique, Sergio Ramos, Javi Martinez, Iraola

Midfielders: Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Cazorla, David Silva, Mata, Jesús Navas, Fabregas

Forwards: Adrián, Torres, Pedro, Llorente .

No surprises, Albiol and Negredo in. Adrian, Soldado out. Pedro in.

Casillas, Valdes, Reina, Arbeloa, Juanfran, Ramos, Piqué, Albiol, Javi Martinez, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Cazorla, Mata, Silva, Fabregas, Navas, Pedro, Llorente Torres and Negredo.


No Adrian!!!

If Llorente does not fire, Spain are done for.

is Soldado injured?

Adrian instead of Negredo and it wouldve been perfect.

Cruel from VDB, he has to be thinking what more could I have done.

hahahahahaha Soldado screwed again by VDB, nothing new here, most who know VDB saw that coming from afar

----------------Casillas
----Arbeloa---Pique---Ramos---Alba
-----------------Busquets
--------------Xavi------Iniesta
-----Silva----------------Mata/Pedro
-----------------Torres

?

No Adrian, Iraola, Soldado ? haha what a joke.... Spain dont have a hope in hell with those forward options it will need Pedro to step up and show why he's a Big Game GOAT

Think it might be time to change my fantasy team as its clear Llorente will ride the bench while Torres flops as usual....

VDB is a legend but his refusal to give people chances and his overall team selection as usual remains truly awful.

Iraola is injured BTW.

Arbeloa is good enough to play at RB imo.

Still doesnt excuse Soldado and Adrian.....

As I said yesterday , Adrian should've gone ahead of Negredo.

shaddap!!! He has added to more Madridisatas Juanfran & Negredo

And one cule to keep the catalanXavi nation happy, Pedro

Since Le Sam informed me Iraola is injured i have no problem with Juanfran but you have to admit Negredo's inclusion is a joke

hahahah oh lord i hope spain get dumped out of the *bleep* group stages so much

pedro, torres and negredo over soldado

It's just funny because it's one of those things VDB is so biased about. He called Soldado the first time because the spanish medias couldnt shut up about him. Negredo was always his main man.

Also the thing Spain have depth is BS..... they only have depth in midfield and GK nowhere else....

The mere fact the minute Villa isnt there and your scratching around for options says it all....

He thinks Negredo will be his Morientes
