Tevez Aguero Messi
Veron (!)
J. Gutierrez Gago Mascherano
Heinze Demichelis Diaz
Andujar
This is an interesting formation that is fairly uncommon. Considering that Jonas is mostly a wide specialist it seems to be built on the assumption that Argentina will dominate the possession and spend the bulk of the game in attack. Given the circumstances that is reasonable, but if it does not play out like that it could be costly. It is interesting to note that Maradona has acknowledged there is likely to be changes for the game in Quito next week, even before any cards or injuries force his hand on Saturday. This indicates he is tailoring the lineup and approach to the opponent. Colombia has only scored a paltry 6 goals in 12 games thus far. This along with being at home and counting so many on-form superstars among his players makes the bet-it-all-in-attack approach a sound one I think.
