Moved to LB with Rojo's sending off.

Looking pretty comfortable at left back, getting forward when he can.

He's comfortable on the ball. Same way Lescott was. More than an acceptable back up option for LB.

 

[Ramiro Funes Mori]

Our two wing backs are the best players of this match. We can't win a cup like this...

Because the one thing we need is another LB.

3-5-2 Funes Mori LC, Jags, Center, Stones RC, Baines and Coleman marauding wing backs. Could work?

We looked shockingly bad every time we tried 3 at the back. Perhaps with a new Manager it could work, but I am not a fan.

 

[RomanReigns]

Do u think he will take a pen?

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Class. Looking good tonight

 

[AaronTheBlue]

messi and bigilia missed pens, so argentina lost.

Must be heart breaking for him.

Step up and take the penalty next time instead of the choker Messi champ

 

[Nymzee]

Always confused me how a player as good as Messi is so bad at penalties.

At no point was I suggesting we did.

We dont need one rihgt now but Baines didn't have a good season and isnt the player he used to be, Oviedo isn't good enough, Garbutt wont ever get a run of games.

Worth having someone who is capable of covering LB to a good standard. He's bettter than Galloway was there.
