7.Lucas Biglia

The main criticism toward Sampaoli focused on the lack of creativity as a result of starting Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia together. The pair weren’t functional to the needs of the team against Iceland, and the Milan central midfielder was replaced by Ever Banega later on. Offered nothing on offence except for five-yard passes, lost the ball countless times and didn’t make more than maybe one lone tackle. A terrible pass of his led to Iceland’s goal. He was a liability and shouldn’t step on the field again for Argentina in this World Cup.
