    It was a really light foul, but goddamn this dude fails to realize how his sloppy challenging is one of the main reasons he never broke through at River.

    Looks focused for once. If he keeps nutmegging defenders in Russia they will break his shins but good that he land the message he has ability early.

    Dude has been playing pretty well. Very lively, and he's pulling off his trickery.

    The problem is his finishing. He manages to create scoring opportunities that most players cannot, but he just always blows the final ball.

    Unfortunate in a game where judgement on that last ball is vital.

    I agree. He's been playing great but needs to work on his finishing.

    Dude played one of the best games of his career. Created tons of chance, had several dangerous shots, scored a pen, dribbled effectively, and put in a solid defensive effort.

    It's a shame that he's in Russia all things considered.

    For a guy like Barrios, who was the best player in his position in all of SA, yeah that's a shame.

    For Carrascal, who was middling along at River for a few years? Nah. I think it's just right for him.

    Where do you rank Russia compared with Portugal or Netherlands? To me they're not that far apart...

    A beautiful gol and assist for him today. He's starting to hit that form we've seen flashes of over the years. This is is the first time I think it might stick...

    Full match. Highlights at 41:15 and 1:20:55

    Hope he is learning Russian and how to read Cyrillic at this point!

    He's already getting minutes. 30 minutes today in a cup match and he looked sharp.

    GREAT news for the NT.

    Finally got a start for his new club today in a cup match. Got assist and nearly had two more. Looked like he's been playing regularly in the highlights.
