America 0-1 Pachuca. Thoughts?

[Antonios]

I really did not see a difference between Rios and Rey or even Jimenez. Rios actually had better opportunities at goal than Jimenez. Jimenez did nothing all game. Rey never had to prove himself to steel Minas starting spot and now everyone expects Rios to be an incredible striker just to take Reys undeserving spot. Its not fair to Rios. Andrade had the misfortune of filling in for the player who carries the team, Sambueza. That is a lot of pressure and in the very beginning of the game he was doing alright. Andrade to me is more of a bench player. His speed completely destroys the defense of any team when he comes in fresh and they're already tired. I think that should be his role until he gets better at passing and controlling the ball. Layun is pretty useless without Sambueza. Notice that Layun started becoming good when they got rid of Montenegro and began starting sambu. Layun may have been good with the national team without sambu so far, but they have yet to go against a decent national team. I'm not saying Layun is a bad player but he needs a player like sambu in order to COMPLETELY work. I don't need to say anything about Medina BC we all know he sucks and doesn't belong in a club like America. El Quick is a beast that should be starting over medina. Molina as CDM and Quick as a RM. Mosquera is solid, Maza makes dumb mistakes, Topo is solid, Aguilar is a better defender than he is an attacker, Aldrete should be a starter, either over maza as CB or as LM over layun and move layun up to LM changing the formation to a 4-4-2 making it, aguilar(RB) topo(CB), mosquera(CB), aldrete(LB), quick(RM), molina(CDM), sambu(CAM), layun(LM), RJ9(ST), rios/rey(ST). that would do it. Congrats to that one kid who scored on the biggest team in the concacaf in his debut, Tony Lopez is the worst striker I've ever seen.
