Interesting thought.
Thing is, he is definitely popular in the dressing room...but he's got to feel that moment on the pitch. It cannot be taught.

Perhaps it can't be taught. If that's true I think it can still be learnt.
Feel that moment and then what for me is a big part of the question that the squad has to figure out. I'm rather confident that most of the players felt that this wasn't going the right way, that the momentum was shifting and they probably felt at least somewhat powerless to do something about it.
If you could have stopped the game somewhere at 1-2 or 2-2 and asked the players how they feel about how the game is going I think to a man they would feel something in the direction of "not so well now". What to do when that feeling arises?
They were powerless to do something about it in that game, they were in fact unable to do whatever was needed to change things. But that doesn't have to be true in the future. That's where they need to find solutions.

How don’t you gauge that?

Not gauging, more how you react to a moment.

Seems like Romero didn't play for Argentina last night. Anyone know why?

Suspended for Venezuela match due to totting up too many yellows
World class players don't switch off as much as he does. Said it before and I will say it again. Would rather have Drag's and VdV as partnership, when Romero is switched on, probably one of the best in the world, but he is not switched on far too often and he alone has cost us so many points this season already.

I’d like to see that pairing tried in real game

Is there something about the travel back from Argentina that makes him less switched on after International games?
Will he back tomorrow or will it be Friday when he's back in training? Not much time to adjust to our timezone before Saturday lunchtime. We can only hope he doesn't forget to mark his man again..............

We don’t know when he will be back because we don’t get told he has a private jet… unless he doesn’t get one

I'm sure the 'To private jet or not to private jet' story has a few more air miles left in it.

Fully expecting him to cost us a goal. I know what I've seen of him so far this season and I know what to expect.
Getting the snipes in early as I won't be able to watch this game live nor will I be able to comment until next Tuesday.
That's enough of the sarcastic applause, back there.

Like it or not mate, it is a factor for sure. For the record, I think we absolutely should be getting our long-traveling international players home via charter ASAP.

As it should! It's a legitimate concern, not the only one of course, but still a concern...You know it will.

It would be sensible (essential) to consider the sports science angle in the decision making process (especially around timings) I've not heard this mentioned once in the conversation.
ASAP might not be optimal?

Possibly, but I'll put my head on the block and say that I believe all professionals in the field would recommend that you spend your recovery time from such travel at home as quickly as possible if you can. Between that and the convenience of charter travel (not airports, the ability to choose a schedule which works, the space available) I'd be shocked if sports science suggested that staying an extra half-day versus quick departure would be preferrable.
