Try and get some river goals man!
There are only few videos in youtube, only 3 I think, but I put one more palermo highlight here my friend The commenarty laught for 5 minutes after palermo miss the chance, it is so funny!!! watch at 0:50 I watched games on futbolparatodos.com.ar, but there were live youtube brodcast only three times, most of time this sentence were there: La pagina que estaba buscando no existe o fue removido. Now it is the same with the Newell's game also. http://www.futbolparatodos.com.ar/club/newells-old-boys/partido/newell´s-old-boys-vs-rosario-central-fecha-12-final-2014-primera-division/
Uhgg what a horrible half. So much meaningless possession and passing the ball backwards constantly from Rojas... We need to be more efficient with the ball I don't like that carbonero is being asked to tuck inside so much leaving Mercado as our only option out wide down the right, he has been completely useless and carbonero has been equally poor Barovero has been completely out of sorts. He's never been great with his feet but tonight he's been flirting with disaster. And on the goal, though it all starts with an error from Teo and then Mercado not picking up his man, Barovero just stood planted on his line. He should have claimed that cross easily That being said, there's 45 minutes to get the winner Vamos carajo!! Hay q ganar!
Why plays Rojas in every game??? He is the worst player in the squad... Why played Menseguez tonight??? Why not Keko????? He is in a very good form and Ramón got the chance Menseguez... Ramoooon It was a terrible game, we missed lots of chances and lost the game with this f.cking goal (it wasn't goal)... It was Vangioni's worst game at River... I don't believe that Ponzio is not better in his worst form than Rojas...
The ball never crossed the line. However, we aren't like the bosteros we don't blame the refs. River didn't deserve to win this game in any aspect. Ramon's game plan was awful.. He got it so right against boca and Newell's but tonight he completely ********ed up. I don't get carbonero's position or the instructions to pass the ball around the back. It took us SO long to initiate any attack. Just awful coaching Then just when it looked like we had Belgrano on the ropes, he remembered he had his friend mensegeuz who instantly made the game 12 vs. 10 generating counter attacks and even 2 different corners for Belgrano.... I would have brought in Keko at the start if the second half And as for Barovero... I said in the first half he was terrible and in the second he was an embarrassment. His kicking game was laughable. And the goal, even though the ball didn't cross the line, was just awful. I don't know how professional goalie, even one that's playing in 3rd division, could drop that ball. The question is... Who is the real Barovero? The guy we had last tournament who saved us so many times or the guy this tournament who looks like a deer in headlights? I think he's probably somewhere in between... Not as great as he was in the sudamericana and not as bad as he is now... Really mad right now, and now we'll be without Lanzini and Maidana next match
I also don't get how Gio Simeone doesn't even get on the bench... Would have been a great alternative also. Ramon and Barovero really screwed us on a night everything seemed perfect for us to be leaders
I think we'll win againist Rafaela without Maidana and Lanzini, but these lost points (Belgrano, All Boys and so on) will be missed very very much in the end... PLEASE ROJAS X ANYBODY!!!!!!! He is slow, he can't defend, he can't attack, he can't shoot, he can't trick, I don't know why he is at River Plate... There are so many players in the squad and in the reserve also who are much better than him.
Rumors are that Pezzella will replace Maidana, suspended, and Krannevitter will go for Ledesma, injured. The third change will either be Villalva or Fabbro for Lanzini, also suspended All three of these changes severely weaken our team. The Pezzella before his knee injury was much better than Maidana, but his version of Pezzella that played against colon and Godoy Cruz is completely different. Krannevitter is a talent, but right now Ledesma is our best player. He pressing and defensive awareness have been just as key as his passing. Against Belgrano when he came out, our midfield fell apart The last change is and interesting debate. What do you guys think? Fabbro is almost certainly leaving in June so this would be his last chance. That being said, he has only played 3 minutes all tournament and probably isn't at all match fit... If Villalva plays, Teo will probably play as an enganche, a position he's suited too Personally, I might play Fabbro one last time just to see what he can do. At the minimum, we know he's good at set pieces. If he's bad, pull him for Keko after 45 min
I have a feeling Fabbro will disappoint yet again. He's not in form and if he was he has proven that he can't adapt to futbol Argentino. I'd rather have Keko play alongside Teo with Cavenaghi up front as the sole striker.
Last minute change as Solari comes in for Mercado. I like the change from Ramon. Solari is a offensive option and our two best games of the season- Gimnasia and San Lorenzo- came when he was playing http://www.riverplate.com/Noticias/...ambios-river-plate-vs-rafaela-final-2014.html
Hmmm... I would have tried that change when we had Ramiro in defense, since Solari could move up yet still leave a solid line of 3 cb's in the back... with Vangioni it doesn't quite work the same way since he's not a real defender, and the same goes for Solari when Leonel goes up. Not a bad change, but I actually have been very satisfied with Mercado's improvements this season. I personally would have left him, or if anything moved him to the middle for Pezzella. But it's all good, I'm not really all against these two prospects playing either.
Okay, can anybody tell me why Ramón loves Rojas??? I know Ramón's stupid idea, that in the centre we must play with a right and a left footed player ( in the midfield and defence also), but why choose he everytime this bad player??? Ferreyra isn't a good player, but I think he is better, than Rojas... And it also could be an alternative, that Vangioni goes to the midfield and Funes Mori could be the left back... Our forwards can miss all of the chances in this world... VAMOS RIVEEER!!!!
Villalva x Fabbro please....... He touched the ball cc. 10 times in the first half and he f.cked the action 9 times... Oh my God, how can he the member of River Plate???
they played well, Carbonero has become a terror. He marks well and recovers the ball too. Cavenaghi is an issue, as is Teos finishing. But everyone else was impressive, Fabbro played a good second half, Pezzella played well for the first time since his injury. All in all a good win, on to wednesday.
I'm not Rojas's #1 fan, but I don't he's playing bad. Considering the role he plays in this formation, I do not think Ferreyra would be a better option at all.. As for Carbonero, mamita... what a transformation from last tournament. Pure fire. Fabbro was also very good, overall. I think his performance today probably won him more consideration for the final six matches. Great game for River. I'm liking the identity Ramon has created for the team. Lets hope Barovero's injury isn't too serious and he makes it vs. Estudiantes: not only does he make game-winning saves, but Chichizola makes me nervous and seems to have a habit of fucking up. The match vs. el pincha is a 6 point battle, we definitely cannot commit errors.
Colon tied with the bosteros... That leaves us one point ahead of them. Table as of now, with 6 games left: 1. Estudiantes - 24 2. River - 23 3. Colon - 22 4. Lanus - 22 5. Gimnasia - 21 6. San Lorenzo - 21 7. Velez - 20
Bad news.... Barovero out for a minimum of 3 weeks http://www.ole.com.ar/river-plate/futbol/Trapito-afuera_0_1120088255.html So it's time for Chichizola to step up in what is going to be a tough run of games against Estudiantes, Velez, the away against Olimpo in Bahia Blanca which is not a fun place to go. Let's hope he's up for it, but damn the kid makes me nervous
Velez lost to Quilmes! This loss leaves Velez with a foot out of the title race: only 5 games left, and they could be 6 to 7 points away from first place (depending if River or Estudiantes win tomorrow). This is good news.. not only does that mean one of our toughest rivals is almost out, but now they should probably be shifting focus mainly to the Libertadores. They play us on Sunday and then have the first leg of their Round of 16 match vs. Nacional 3 days later, in Asuncion too... maybe this means they'll be using subs against us? *crosses fingers*
