Colinjb Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Played 45 minutes in their first game against Spain. Looked ok. Played central midfield behind the strikers, tracking back to defend and surging forward to support their attack. Didn't do anything exceptional but equally did nothing wrong. Was substituted to try something different tactically in the second half... it didn't work.
tajjuk Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 He also came on against France a few weeks ago didn't he and play well? It;s kind of good he;s not playing too much as it's better if he;s getting rest ready for pre-season.
forever a red and white Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 his rating is now '80' on FIFA if that is anything to go by...
Olallana Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 He´s pretty much 11-12th pick at Uruguay so he will be in and out of the team from game to game. Very good against France, decent against Spain. We should be happy, if he had fantastic games maybe some teams would go in for him and we would lose him. He will be immense next year.
Barry Sanchez Posted 21 June, 2013 Author Posted 21 June, 2013 his rating is now '80' on FIFA if that is anything to go by... Coutinho 82......................
Appy Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Did he play last night? Shockingly dropped for some mug called Forlan.
Barry Sanchez Posted 21 June, 2013 Author Posted 21 June, 2013 Shockingly dropped for some mug called Forlan. 34 year old, one for the future?

pap Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Sarcasmisthelowestformofwit.com Yeah, but if you expand the scope beyond mere wit, asking ceaseless childlike questions about stuff that you can find out yourself would beat sarcasm in a "more annoying" contest. In my mental world, anyway
DuncanRG Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Coutinho 82...................... Curse Southampton for not even attempting to sign him!
Saint Garrett Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Looked very good from what I've seen. Hopefully see a bit more from him in the next game. That pass was Beckham-esque for one of their goals.
Barry Sanchez Posted 21 June, 2013 Author Posted 21 June, 2013 Beckham-esque, surely such quality would demand a first team place?

The9 Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Uruguay have an ageing side and need to transition to their younger players like Gaston and move away from the likes of Forlan, though I'm not sure a "winner takes all" match against Nigeria to (most likely) keep the winner in the Confederations Cup is necessarily the time to make that transition. I suspect he might get a bit more of a run against Tahiti on the weekend... which FWIW is why the OP should consider his targets and his timing a little more carefully, as he'll probably set up or score 6 goals this weekend.
tajjuk Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 Beckham-esque, surely such quality would demand a first team place? They try to fit Forlan, Suarez and Cavani all into the same team who are all strikers essentially so their midfield 3 is usually quite defensive, so doesn't really suit Gaston. No shame being kept out of the team by those 3.

Marsdinho Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 http://www.google.com I think Barry already knows the answers to the questions he's asking....
Barry Sanchez Posted 21 June, 2013 Author Posted 21 June, 2013 Rhetorically speaking of course I dont know.......................
Marsdinho Posted 21 June, 2013 Posted 21 June, 2013 To be fair, I couldn't give a t0ss how he plays over the summer, its how he plays in August is whats important.
Barry Sanchez Posted 27 June, 2013 Author Posted 27 June, 2013 How did the great one play last night?
Barry Sanchez Posted 27 June, 2013 Author Posted 27 June, 2013 Really why not? I thought he was the future of Uruguayan football? Surely he had adjusted to his own Nations style of play by now....................

Olallana Posted 27 June, 2013 Posted 27 June, 2013 Bazza: What did you think of Lamberts, Corks and Lallanas last non-performance for England?
Barry Sanchez Posted 27 June, 2013 Author Posted 27 June, 2013 Oh La La La lets go dancing by the Kool and the Gang, thats what your user name reminds me of.
