Games over other than Lo Celso' "injury" can't complain about much. Well there is that new fad within Argentina the not quite blue not quite blond, somewhere in between hair. It should be banned from the NT. Awful awful hair.
First game in years where Argentina looked and played like a team. Mind you its not a masterclass's performance or anything of that nature but they decently strutted and didn't completely soil themselves on the pitch. Which is more than what I can say about watching this team post Tata. New kids all looked solid.
Martinez Quarter was very impressive in his debut paired up with Otamendi who should be discarded asap. You have Martinez squared, Pezzella, Foyth, Romero and babies Perez/Balerdi. No need for Otamendi and f***ING Rojo who I'm certain never played a decent football match in his life.
Montiel looked ok at RB another sore position for Argentina but more of him please. He might be Taglifco lite. Meaning he won't wow you and isn't elite or anything but solid and dependable.
Marchesin was impressive as well... I didn't have a heart attack when he was called upon. He also distributed the ball nicely. I'd like for him to be given a chance Armani doesn't inspire confidence.
RDP/COrrea both were headless chickens at times. Paredes was good maybe there's a player in there after all. Dybala showed flashes but was extremely rusty. Thanks Juve. Lautaro didn't have much except that one chance where he was far to casual about. Dybala had the best chances for Argentina by far.
All in all I liked what I saw and I'm still not certain about Scaloni but he looks miles and miles better now than what he was just a few months ago. Amazing what some continuity and stability can do for a team. This is why I didn't want Sampa out so fast. Coaches need time. Except for Bauza f*** that guy.
Next game want to see more of Palacios, Mac Allister, Dominquez and hopefully Balerdi gets a shout.
