Boca Juniors at Atletico Rafaela, March 10 (r)

Yet again more changes to the starting line-up for today's match, mainly in preparation for the Libertadores. What we need more than anything now is to start scoring some goals to offset what has been and may continue to be poor defense. Here is what the anticipated line-up will consist of.

Oscar Ustari; Emiliano Albín, Lisandro Magallán, Matías Caruzzo, Nahuel Zárate; Lautaro Acosta, Pablo Ledesma, Leandro Somoza, Guillermo Fernández; Nicolás Blandi y Santiago Silva

It's looking like a 4-3-3 formation with Acosta possibly playing behind the double 9's. The midfield for the better part looks very slow and what more can be said about Caruzzo and Albin that hasn't already been said. Interested to see how the kids Zarate and Magallan work out for us. Also a chance that JSM may get some minutes in this match as well.

Fortunately it's still early in this torneo but if we are to start turning things around it will have to start now.

 

I guess you and I are referencing two different sources. I like the idea of start Sanchez-Mino though I would have gone with Fernandez over Ledesma who's looked really slow and out of sync.

 

Caruzzo is absolute garbage. He can't seem to do anything right these days. Somoza has probably been our best player in the first half which isn't saying much. I was also expecting Silva to miss that penalty.......

 

Truth is that aside from Palermo we have not had many forward options since Mouche/Gaitan/Palacio. Cvitanich didn't do it nor has Viatri, Blandi and all the others that have come and gone. Considering that this is mainly Bianchi's reserves we know that Silva is probably on the out.

 

Nice move around the touchline by Palacios for a goal by Blandi. Evened up the score, let's see if we can steal all three points in the last few minutes.
