GunmaN1905 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) So Brazil has 4 wingers (wide forwards, whatever) in the game, with 4 more on the bench and Gabriel Jesus being the only player who resembles a striker with top level experience. I honestly have no clue why didn't they bring Firmino, he would be perfect against teams defending deep. Btw, Brazil haven't lost a group stage match since 1998...against Norway. Some stat.

noikeee Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Brazil nowhere near as fluid going forward as other teams like Spain or bizarrely, England. But - they still have several of the best dribblers in the competition and it's not clear who the hell, or how, is anyone going to score vs this Brazil side. For all of Serbia's good showing in the first few minutes, they've created nothing. They still look like strong candidates.

Darius1998 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 May as well bring Antony on and have him spin like a beyblade. Or Martinelli or Rodrygo. Just take Raphinha off after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimera Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Raphinha isn't working, hope Tite realize this sooner rather than later. Bring Antony or Gabriel Jesus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Brazil as expected lack balance. They need more of a central playmaker rather than relying on the hope of individual brilliance from someone. Whip off Raphinha, bring on Bruno or Fabinho and stick Neymar into a less "fluid" position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantine Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Not as bad as I expected but... It's still bad. It was a mistake to start with Mitro, Vlahovic would've been more useful against this lot. Milinkovic Savic a shadow of himself, Tadic cut off most of the time. Brazil has this in the bag, we've been lucky so far but we're full of players that are a mistake waiting to happen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Serbia team is one of best in the competition after the group of 8 or so main favourites. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that he just hasn't been the biggest star on the team, as Messi had that role at Barca and Mbappé took it about 5 minutes after arriving at PSG.
