#5 A night of errors from Jorge Sampaoli

First, the lineup.
Sampaoli knew Peru would come here for a draw. The wisdom of two defensive midfielders in midfield evades me. However, the most egregious error is the fact that Sampaoli has no idea of who his best #9 is - In the last 5 games, 4 strikers (Gonzalo Higuain, Lucas Pratto, Mauro Icardi and Dario Benedetto) have been used.
As it turned out, Sampaoli opted to use a player making his first ever start for Argentina, instead of you know, Mauro Icardi or Paulo Dybala.
Second, the substitutions.
I think Fernando Gago would rather have been spared the agony of making his comeback to the national side after years, only to then rupture his ACL 5 minutes after coming on. All this, when Argentina were in desperate need of a goal, not to see out the rest of the game.
Third, his post-match comments.
"Today was a very good performance, we just missed the goal. I am very hopeful and excited about what will come next."
He's got a call from Bayern Munich, hasn't he?
