Boca Jrs at Libertad - 4ters 2nd Leg 05-24-07 (R)

[vipnerd]

Well, it seems that Roman will be ready to play Thursday, along Cata Diaz.

Eventhough most are giving the line-up of the defense as Ibarra - Cata - Morel - Silvestre, I wouldn't be surprised if Russo starts a more solid defensive back 4 with:

Ibarra - Silvestre - Cata - Morel

Boca needs to be confortable with the set pieces, corners and crosses. The addition of Cata along Silvestre should help in this and leave the offense to do their job with more calm.

The 1-1 is a tricky one, as we need to score at least 1 in 90 minutes. But, even with a 0-0 in that first leg, Boca would had needed a goal to avoid the pks.

Lets just hope that Roman can hold to the 90 minutes without further injuring himself. Boca needs him for the remaining of the Libertadores as much as we need Passarella to stay at River. :D

Another key for Boca is the return of Ledesma inplace of Bartolo. It should be a huge improvement in the midfield.

It appears that Libertad will go with the same conservative lineup that worked so well for them in Buenos Aires. Hopefully Boca will be able to break them this time.

[bosterosoy]

yes, Ledesma back will be huge. He is just as vital to the team as Riquelme is

Sale Boca!!!

Vamos Boca, hay que ganar!

[argentine soccer fan]

It looks like Libertad wants to come out and play. They are not staying back, so it should be a wide open game.

Hopefully Boca can take advantage of the space.

[argentine soccer fan]

Wow! Palacio came so close... nice play.

[Nordino]

Boca is all over Libertad, but unfortunately we haven't taken our chanses yet. Libertad has been shit all game so far. They only base their play on counter attacks.

Dale Boca tenemos que ganar!

Boca is missing the chances that can give them the calmness needed to control the game.

It will be the first time I'm gonna mention this in these boards, I think it is time for Banega to sit as 1st team member. No one doubts his quality, but his inexperience provokes silly yellows that then diminuish his already low defensive skills. And this also conditions his confidence in his ball distibution. I think it is time to have Ledesma play that defensive midfielder role and switch Cardozo to the right and Datolo, in for Banega, on the left.

Vamos Boca ... 45 minutes to bring justice to this tie.

Damn! Boca played better but missed some good chances. You cannot missed chances like that in such a key game.

Libertad began trying to attack, but they realized they are better off waiting and hanging on. It's going to be a tough second half.

Banegas has to come out, he's having a horrible game.

Vamos Boca!!! Score!!!!!!

Grande Riquelme, en una pata, el gol que puede salvarnos!

Que golazo. Only a player like Riquelme could change things in these type of nail biting scenarios.

[argentine soccer fan]

El resultado es justo, pero que bien caeria un segundo gol ahora.

[Aguilas Del America]

El resultado es justo, pero que bien caeria un segundo gol ahora.

[argentine soccer fan]

Asi definen los equipos grandes, ************!!!

[Siempre_Albiceleste]

Things have changed since Datolo came on and that goal seemed to have breathed some life into the team....
Gooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll De Palacio...I could have sworn that was offsides...but it wasn't. Oh yeah, baby!

What's wrong with Cardozo? He has not impressed at all in either leg.

[Aguilas Del America]

Boca se esta salvando de tarjetas rojas

[Dr. Know]

I can't watch the game because I'm at work :(!

Dale Boca!!! Grande Riquelme y Palacio!
