Yep, fair point and facts speak for themselves. They are still weak defensively and need better players.
Who should manage them?
Why did they appoint a rookie as manager?
(I'm basing this on memory so could be wrong): For some reason I think they appointed Scaloni because they knew they couldn't get a huge name at this point in time - this doesn't take into account that they can't afford a huge name at any point in the near future. So they went for someone who was cheap, available and who wouldn't make a fuss (easy to control).
It would be easy for me to say a Poch, Simeone etc.......but they're not realistic (affordable) and I don't think Gallardo wants the job at the moment. That being the case I'm surprised they didn't go for the likes of Gareca who is currently managing Peru. Not claiming he is the best manager in the world but he knows how set up a team properly and get them playing good football, he doesn't take any nonsense and he was available (after the World Cup).
