James Rodriguez was just player of the tournament in the Copa America, after basically being cut from his club in Brazil. Club football and international football are different.

Cucurella just won the euros
It means nothing that he plays for Argentina
Desperately hope so
If I was a cynic, I’d say he might have had his head turned..
That’s being honest.. he’s at an age where he thinks I need to go to a CL team or I’m wasting my best years. I hope that’s not the case but he seems to be a little distracted.
He is playing how he always does, don’t know why some are acting like anything’s changed.
He charges around and gets drawn towards the ball. Sometimes that helps us and sometimes it hurts us, like it did in these two away games where he’s cost us goals.
A good defender but not reliable on the level of a Van Dijk, Rudiger, Saliba etc. Top defenders don’t get so excited and lose their bearings the way he often does.

when hes pressing aggressively people should be covering for him. if we didnt have a front line made up of fairies he wouldnt need to go and do it as much. sometimes its needed for someone to do that and carry on their momentum into the press.
Put these players under Ange's tactics and they will perform exactly like Romero.
Who is saying we should get rid of him? He’s one of our best players.
But no player is above criticism. You think Romero will look back at the winning goal and think he couldn’t have done better?
get rid of romero and bring in clark kent, ange might win something in big boy football then.
Many times the forward players take the brunt but he's the one who cost us the points this season.
He needs abit of scrutinise now. Can't be because he's a WC and COPA winner plus a bit of temperament he's immune from criticism. Very poor so far. Gotta fucking wake up. Win us something first before fucking off to RM.

Argentina would be lucky to finish in the Top 4.
He exposed the whole team with his suicidal press to the half way line for the first!
Tactics had nothing to do with it or his general positioning - look where he was for Vardy’s equaliser!
It's not like they had a star studded defence.
It's not like they didn't lose against Saudi Arabia and struggled with Australia and only other decent team than France that they beat was Netherlands who they beat on penalties.
They won a few games on penalties. Hardly the amazing team.
Ancient Otamendi, Tagliafico and Molina were the three other defenders. Wow
.They are all world class because they won the world club. Best deFenDerRS in the woRLd.
Who tricked our fans into believing this? Look at how Romero plays. Gives f all about defending and then scores a few headers since he doesn't care about defending. World class
32 games, 25 clean sheets, playing with Molina, Otamendi and Tagliafico, what's your point? Maybe their manager know how to set up a defense?It's not like they had a star studded defence.

Maybe it's their manager that is good?
Tactics has all to do with this. He chases players like today's in most of Argentina's game and they barely concede, because they aren't as crazy as Ange is tactically, the line is deep and the midfielders can drop deep to help the defense. When you have the defense further up the pitch it's ovious we'll be more exposed.
