Edinson Cavani

I have no doubt at all that he's the most 'complete' striker in world football currently, but with that said, he does have his drawbacks.

He's known to go on goalscoring droughts (although he does make up for this a bit with his excellent all-round game) and he's only ever performed well in counter-attacking teams with lots of space behind him to work with. He won't get that space here with Mata and Hazard crammed up his bum.

Hopefully he can adapt his game a bit.

That said, he did quite well here and it wasn't exactly a blistering counter-attack for the first goal! The 3rd goal is how most his goals happen though.

That first touch for the first goal was sublime, taken at pace and only has one touch to set it....BOOM.

Yeah, every time I see Uruguay play they waste him playing wide right with Suarez up front. He's been completely ineffective there when I've seen him.

We wouldn't be dumb enough to do that.

He'd be brilliant here I feel.

When I watch the World Cup in 2010, Suarez was a beast than for Uruguay. However, i don't recall Cavani.

You must be joking, he was the workhorse that enable Suarez and Forlan to play at their best.

While its true that it enabled Suarez to be the focal point of the attack, it came at the cost of not allowing Cavani to do what he does best.

He was nearly invisible in the last few games I watched him with the national team a few months back because he wasn't played where he should.
