1-3 finish. not the birthday present I wanted Boca lol. I fear we aren't gong to do anything in any competition with this defence.
Not for me, he's got a lot of work to do before he can shut us up. My coNfidence in silva is only marginally more than i have in our defence at the moment. Im not going to moan too much, we didnt actually play too badly, we probably deserved a draw, but were let down once again by awful, awful defending. Bianchi needs to do something drastic with the defence, he needs to decide on his back four and then play them every game. Because we really cant really others to come in when he is rotating the defence. But please, dont let me see caruzzo in the starting eleven again. Its a disgrace that he is anywhere near the first team. As for burdisso, id rather he play as our number 9. It might sound stupid, and is, but if you checked the stats id bet you find he is much more effective in the opposition box than mr silva. Positives? Suprisingly there are a few, roman is back and looking like all those asados havent done him any harm, palacios is shit hot and the way he was toying with defenders really excited me, he has pace and a reat shot on him. I hope we can see more of him. Erbes really impressed me tonight, he linked well with roman and made some great runs. Silva.... If he stopped falling over he might have a chance at getting more goals.
This would be my team going forward Orion Clemente-magallan-burdisso-sanchez mino Pol- erbes-erviti Roman Palacios/acosta - blandi
Feliz cumple! Reality is we need to make sure we at least finish in the middle of the pack while using the torneo to find a defensive group that clicks. It may require getting really young but can't be any worse than what we are seeing. In la Copa we are actually playing better all the way around (not saying much huh) so if I'm Bianchi that becomes ambition number one. I was really pleased with what I saw out of Sebastian Palacios, he has a lot of upside. Who I really was pleased with was Roman. For as much time as he's had off, he was pretty sharp aside from finishing which rest assured will come. On set pieces he still has it like no other. Someone mentioned in one of our threads that Erviti and Roman can't play together due to styles. I think they are right. Erviti is usually in the middle of everything and while he wasn't bad by any means he also wasn't as involved as he's been.
Remember the first tournament when falcioni came, look what he did 6 months later. Alls we need to do is shore up that defence and we will be fine. The goals will come, there was much more order in our forward play tonight and that will only get better. We just need to be patient and let bianchi sort the back line out.
I said something along those lines. The problem is my preferred option on the left, colazo isnt doing it at the moment. Since coming back from his broken leg he has really struggled to fit back in. As for erviti, i like him, but id maybe try to play him in the games that roman is rested for if we can get colazo firing again.
