    Gago has been a boss in the past two games, this one included i mean. Well the last 1 1/3 games. Cracking seen as well he hardly played last season. Mascherano cant pass the ball 10 yards should have also been dropped for this game i think. Not got to see much of Pastore which is quite gutting.

    Aye they should drop Mascherano.

    I thought Banega was their best player so far yet they dropped him for Gago :rolleyes:

    Banega and Gago are both feisty players but also good footballers, they two should sit with Pastore coming in from the left, Aguero from the right and Messi behind Higuain.

    Its obvious thats the way they should play really. Thats the way guys like Guardiola would play with them.

    They should only play Mascherano in the tougher games they could play him behind Gago and Banega with Messi playing in the hole with maybe Tevez and Higuain.

    Sitter from Higuain, for Real Madrid thats his trademark goal as well running into the box and burying it 1 on 1.

    Yeah huge fan of Banega as well. I watch him week in week out for Valencia. I think he needs a wee bit more composure at international stage. He seems to get a bit excited when he's on the ball and rushes a bit.

    I wouldnt play Tevez either possible one of the worst players to play in a collective team for me. HIs pressings works good in terms of team work but he is as greedy as they come so I wouldnt play him. I think the striker force they have started today is possibly the best they have I reckon.

    Aye I know what you mean, for Argentina Banega does look rushed as if hes trying to hard to impress. Im not much of a fan of Tevez either as he doesnt link up well with others like you said too greedy and Messi, Banega and Pastore probably their best 3 link-up player like to pass and move.

    I remember you saying you prefer Pastore through the middle too but I would rather he was playing off the left wing, he plays like that at Palermo and cuts inside well and it would let Messi play his usual role in the middle.

    A manager like Rijkaard would probably get Argentina playing well, someone who will pick the footballers and let them play and leave the Mascherano's, Tevez, Lavezzis and Di Marias on the bench.

    I was a fan of Cambiasso too but I think he may be finished as he looks slower and past it a bit nowadays.
