Kid is a bulldozer. Strong, pace, decent technique, but he has poor finishing


Everyone keeps saying once he learns how to finish watch out, but we are still waiting

Sounds good.

Finishing should not be an issue that much in fast paced Bundesliga. He'll get more space to finish than in PD where the game is a bit slower but more technical & tactical.
Just a matter of adapting to the increased speed. It took Jairo Samperio (bought from Sevilla last year) a season to adapt but now he looks awesome. Same could happen with Cordoba I hope.

Good luck. This is a good video of him. Creates danger, but lacks the finishing touch

Colombia with a 2-0 victory over Peru.

We got the win but I did not like the consistent turnovers on our end. A better team would've destroyed us for that. Peru had their chances too...

JMezz, i'm sorry still, but I do not like Bacca nor Teo up front. We need to find someone else...

Ugly win, but ill take it. We badly miss James.

Hopefully we get something out of the Montevideo match.

Bacca had a bad game. Teo was decent though. I hope we had better, but we have a bubch of decent guys. Not one great guy. No one else available . Jackson is the only other one

I want that Montevideo match to be done with lol.... I want to see the youth play more for La Celeste. I like see Abel get his when he can.

Yea, we still have 3 yrs so hopefully someone comes through for us on the cafeteros side. Maybe get Castillo more time out there to see how he responds? Borre is a young glimpse of hope as well

Borre certainly is one for the future.

Talented kid. I think he'll be implemented slowly and be a starter by the end of the process

Man its ugly....

I know there'll be certain guys in and out of lineup so I have to deal with that cause its natural.

We are having a horrendous time offensively... idk what happened, there's such a drop off since the WC IMO. We are struggling to get anything going. Need to find answers elsewhere up front, again Teo n Bacca are not doing anything for the national team.

Defensively, so much holes but I attribute that to the changes which is to be expected. More experience to tighten that up(just makes you miss Yepes more)

This game wad on Pekerman. We had a good game for the first time since the WC due to the additions of Muriel and Cardona and Pekerman reverts back to the old guys. Ugh. Poor game plan
