What's going on with Echeverri? Echeverri's reputation with fans at X is getting worse, he's on the bench because he's behind the starting lineup? What's going on.....
- he went to France, played like 15 mins total, has come back rusty and out-of-sync
- he plays with a different lineup around him constantly as first Demu and now Gallardo try to light a spark
- too often he'll try a trick instead of the simple play, and the opponent is off to the races
- overall, Echeverri's health and fitness are all over the map, after being iron man at the u-17 WC
- chest tightness, fever, groin, dermal issues? IRL events calling him away from the training field perhaps
- natural comparison with Mastantuono who is a steadier 'classic' player, like a baby Kroos
- just inconsistency, 3 class touches and then he'll step on the ball with the 4th
- he is a growing boy, sometimes I'm amazed at how fast his physique is changing
- refs give him no breaks, school of hard knocks for the wonderboy, and his frustrations occupy him
- again inconsistency, loss of possession, over-complicating things, frustrates me waiting for signs
... played very well for 30m last night tho, maybe Gallardo is getting thru to him
