Chepo absolutely destroyed the team and the confidence. I preferred when he played with his Classic Toluca lineup which got him Silverware with both Chivas and Toluca. That was the lineup that had us playing great against Brazil and fighting back from the defecit to win the Gold Cup against he USMNT before. The second he transitioned into the 442 insistent on playing both chicharo and oribe was when the team went to absolute **** and it was pointless forcing him to switch to the 433 since he was already desperate not to lose so he would make them play defensive orientated. I just feel like this coaching change came wayyyy to late, and even know why just fire him and leave everyone else? His cousin was always in his ear on TV telling him stuff so i assume he too is responsible for the horrible decisions, and today when Peralta was coming on he was the one telling him what to do. Nothing changed.
As for the game, Guardado cant play winger anymore, hes not even an offensive player with Valencia anymore. He plateaued ages ago and hes super predictable and because of his tendency to drift where the LB plays he overcrowds that part of the field and we get zero projection there anymore from the LB. Speaking of LB, salcido was getting destroyed.....how has Torres Nilo not benched him years ago? he has the workhorse stamina, he has a great cross, and he has height. Again its about respecting the sacred cows and their hierarchy. Then were using a CB(mier) as a RB, why? Inspite of the ridicule from his horrible first year, Layun from America proved everyone wrong, he has won a starter position, the league (had the character to step up and score the winning pen) and has blossomed into the best RB in mexico, and he was one of our few bright spots in the past Gold Cup. Meza is still living off that one good game against Neymar. Today Zavala recovered more balls in the DM position that Torrado has all year, but we needed Herrera in there earlier when the initiative was ours. Chaco is an okay player by LigaMX standards but hes slow and overweight for international play IMO. Finally i just cant stand chicharo anymore, i remember the mobile, smart, good with the ball, decent outside the box shot chicharo that Chivas shipped off. ManU has improved him physically on the hold up, but now he cant operate outside the box anymore and he gets frustrated and tries to drop down but he looks terrible, hes a rigid 9 now. Everyone gets mad when you even bring up benching him, but hes just not the typical mobile Latin America profile striker anymore and thats what Mexico needs unfortunately. Finally somewhere amongst that horrible mess Gio just gets erased.
I just want a Mexico coach that doesn't have a meltdown when it matters. Aguirre had one with the benching Ochoa for a 50 year old ****** conejo and playing bofo against Argentina.Chepo was just to damn thick headed, and he drove the team into the ground just so he never had to admit he was wrong to the media. They would always ask him about players like torrado, maza, salcido who no longer had the form to be playing against younger opposition. Specifically after the Confeds they asked him if he would reconsider starting them since they seemed to not be able to keep up with players like neymar, hulk etc, and he got mad at the reporter and described them as completely different players from what you see on the field. Right there i knew he was delusional. Then theres the matter of Ochoa and Vela. Vela denied the call ups, but before that Chepo was the one disregarding him saying "he wasn't in form" for the NT but dudes that were coming off injuries and weren't getting PT were, riiiiight. Then he handled the Ochoa thing terribly, yes...shines in ligue 1 with a relegation bound defense against super teams liek PSG, yet he cant get a game over Corona who tears up the likes of the mighty Queretaro and Puebla.
Now its too late, i dont know who we can still get whose willing to take the hit and try and qualify us.
TL;DR Mexico is looking rough ha.

. I don't know why but im kind of tired of Tim Howard forever yelling at defenders literally on every single shot.
