Gonzalo Higuain

Perhaps not being selfish?

Aguero is incredibly selfish whenever I've watched him play for Argentina. It's a pity Higuain hasn't delivered at the most important moments, because he's always been Argentina's best CF(that makes everything click) out of all the different options they've had, including Aguero and Tevez.

have all Argentina strikers so far been selfish or just Aguero?

All of them. There is no concept of team work in the Argentine National Team, and without it, you can't win anything.

A few players can carry a team long, but not cross the finishing line without the others contributing positively, and that's where Argentina lacks big time.

Every player want to do their own thing. And I'm not saying this to make Messi look better, but instead of building their team around him, the team is usually in chaos. Pastore want to dribble through several players all the time, Banega want to try his long shots, Di Maria want to dribble endlessly at the byline and launch a stupid shot or cross. Aguero want to dribble through several players and keep the ball despite of having team mates in a better position. Rojo is just......Rojo. Rubbish.

On top of that, the tactics itself aren't any better. They don't deserve to win anything unless they stop being shit heads who think they can save the World alone.

what is Dybala offering that Aguero and co do not offer? No country has more top strikers as Argentina, yet noone delivers? Maybe the problem lies deeper than that.

It absolutely does. Very simplistic to just blame the strikers.

Yeah I really think so.. Noone can tell me it isn't somehow strange that Argentina has 200 worldclass attackers who completely kill it at their teams, yet can't field a single one of them for the national team because they just randomly decide to not play decent football anymore. Not sure if it would really get any better if they'd nominate the 201st striker now. I don't watch Argentina enough to figure what their problem is, but this phenomen is not normal.

imho argentina attackers except for messi and di maria are average. aguero is average, lavezzi is average, higuain is above average, but still not good enough. NONE of them are world class, not even top class. not even di maria is world class anymore. dybala? no experience in NT. messi has no support unfortunately. dybala won't change much. messi will have to carry this shit team alone.

yes you are right! i should've edited my post. higuain and especially aguero aren't just average, they are complete and utter shit when playing for argentina, especially kun who isn't any better than an old clown palacio. so far it's been like this. for messi's sake i hope someone steps up.

May be they should be forbidden to dribble or have a timetable.
E.g vs bolivia messi and aguero only
Vs india pastore and di maria's turn

Aguero is incredibly selfish whenever I've watched him play for Argentina. It's a pity Higuain hasn't quite delivered at the most important moments, because he's always been Argentina's best CF(that makes everything click) out of all the different options they've had, including Aguero and Tevez.

And not disappearing in every big game.
