EURO 2016 Qualifying

Any ideas on how will Spain line up today?

 

[Jenks]

Spain XI to play Slovakia: Casillas; Juanfran, Pique, Albiol, Alba; Busquets, Koke, Cesc; Iniesta, David Silva, Diego Costa

 

[linetty]

Good XI.

Just hope Costa transits his from from Chelsea to Spain as well. If he doesn't, Alcacer should take his spot.

 

[Flavia]

Albilol instead of Bartra

Albilol instead of Bartra

Just realized that, lol

VDB is probably scared to lineup the youngster for some reason. Or worse, he's got injured in training.

 

[DonAK]

Don't get how Albiol keep getting in the squad

 

[CuleLife4Life]

JuanFran instead of Carvajal? VDB hates youngsters smh

Juanfran is better.

Juanfran is better.

Ehh your opinion. Mines is different. JuanFran is overrated to me.


Iker instead of De Gea is laughable after De Gea put on a GK masterclass last weekend.

 

[Frodo_FCB]

Well i guess nobody likes the Pique-Bartra duo

That lineup is all about Costa. He's got 5 midfielders to feed him, all extremely creative. If he cannot score today, then I don't know what it will take for him to score for Spain.

Juanfran is better than Carvajal, that's pretty clear to me.

You don't pick a player because he's had a stand out game. You pick the better player.

Both good calls in my opinion.

Space to run into. Terrible fit for this Spain team. Going from possession allergic teams Atletico and Chelsea to possession hoggers Spain must be a culture shock for him every time he gets called to intl. duty.

 

[linetty]

Agreed with Ursegor on this one

Culture shock indeed. He's never going to get that space playing for Spain, at least now he's going to get force fed by 5 midfielders. That's got to make up for some of the compatibility issues. Right? No? Let's see.

At least they have Alacer to fall back to.
