Back to the drawing board for Maradona.

 

i watched the game.they played some good stuff specially before brazil got there first...good doing forward but woeful in defence...unlucky not too have scored more but defo deserved to lose for there defencive errors

 

I've a bet with a mate that Diego will gone before the world cup. He is just too crazy to be a manager.

 

It'll be a bad world cup without Messi, Aguero, Masch etc.

 

Agree with dazzlermac and Travis completely. It was woeful defending from teh Argies at times. If Messi doesn't make it to the WC it'll be a terrible shame.

 

He still has a better chance of making it than supposed World Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal not looking too good either and even 3 wins in their last 3 won't guarantee a play off spot. Tough games remaining for Argentina, hopefully they pull through as a world cup wouldn't be the same without them.

 

I be surprised if Maradonna will still be manager next month.

 

Marradona was a sentimental appointment he wont last imo

 

Looking at their squad they are lacking in defence. Zanetti must be nearly 40 and they have a Championship player on the bench.

 

Maradonna will defo be gone before world cup

 

messis crap........................ask carra

 

Get Garay and Insua in there and its not too bad.

 

Yes. Collocini would not get a game for Mervue United. Heinze should stay in the can. He's shit.

 

Cant believe Insua's not getting a look in yet tbh-Heinze is a serious liability and Emiliano is impressing at one of Europes top clubs.Cant say I know much about their centre halves yesterday but whats the craic with Milito and Walter Samuel-2 players with huge clubs and big reputations who've been shite every time ive seen them and cant get into a creaking defence either?

Im assuming Aguero wasnt fully fit or something cos he has to play ahead of Tevez every day of the week.

 

Millito is shit mate, Marquez is much better, much more composed on the ball and all round better player. I never rated Samuel either. The Argies are much poorer at the back than Brazil. And with the best attack minded player ever at the helm are they going to improve defensively???

 

Yeah he's been shite the odd time I've seen him.You'd think a 20m euro Barca defender would still be able to get a game though in such a poor defence!


Get Gabby Paletta in sharpish

 

Palletta must be better than the 10 million pound newcastle 'defender'[

 

Couldnt possibly be much worse.

Must have reminded their scout of a young Thommo or something.

 

was reading some where, that he is persistising with alot of players from the argentina league who are just not up to it.But to be fair to him, he did come in after 7 or games and they were some dreadful results before that.Dont no why he took off maxi the other night on the right, and pushed veron out there as that left more space in the centre for kaka who set up the third.I no he fell out with riqueleme(how ever you spell him) but he has replaced him with veron.I think they are missing that big striker up front.Tevez is not the man who can get them the goals.Milito doesnt seem to step up to international football, so that leaves Kun...And that means there is alot of responability on the kids shoulders.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow night..Looking forward to see if he changes anything.
