To ridicule your arrogance and unfair criticism of a manager and of a group of players that really don't know any better than this. You can't expect them to suddenly perform at the same level as a side who has huge amount of experience in European football. This isn't FM. You can't just apply tactics to fix everything.

Play to your strengths, Saudi Arabia are not Barcelona. Its unbelievable how much they are paying Pizzi when he can't even read a players strengths or weaknesses. Bar Sanchez, he had the same issue with Chile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone incharge of signing players in the big leagues will have given this game a miss and will be on the beach reading the Beano. I don't know mate there is a lot of poorly run clubs around. AC Milan have probably put in bids for half this Russian team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not unfair criticism. I'm not telling him to park the bus, I'm saying he should play his players to his strengths. He's not reading into the game either, his passing from the back has been off and he's not telling his players to play differently. He keeps playing out wide when they don't have the talent to hug the touchline. If you want to ridicule me, that's up to you but it just tells me you have failed to read this game and are going to blame everything on a lack of quality. Russia is better on paper. I get it. That doesn't excuse how much of a disasterclass this has been tactically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 @Machado a perfect example of my point: Iceland. They don't have great players but they perform as a unit. Saudi Arabia don't have great players and don't perform like a unit. If you're going to be shit, at least accept it and play to your strengths and don't expose your weaknesses. That's what Pizzi isn't figuring out nor you. But you know I'm arrogant for applying my opinion that Pizzi has produced a tactical disasterclass. Christ.
