However, as he showed the other night against Colo Colo, he has a very accurate shot. And another basketball analogy-he reminds me of a pure shooting 2 guard who can’t play much defense. A role player.

I cannot appreciate Neri. He loses too many balls. He must have had great games on days/nights when I cannot watch Boca, because I have not seen Neri do consistently better than Ledesma, Gracian or Vargas.

You’re right, Johnny.
I admit the two of them (Neri and Ledesma) are not in their highlight moment, but remeber also that both have played last year in Basile’s Seleccion. Also, I’ll show you one day the tape when Ledesma made, if not his debut, sure one of his first matches in the High League: it was a easy rival, in an easy circunstance: 2004, semifinal of the Libertadores Cup, against River (!!). He played at tone with all the rest, and shoot and score one of the definition penalties.
Sure no bostero will forgot him ever!!

Of course he has been following Boca since the days of Presidente Ramon Castillo and will not listen !!

Neither of the four have been playing so bad (perhaps Ledesma, but still have the hunch that in any moment he could recover last year’s level).

All too often Riquelme is left to set up Palermo or Palacio with his through balls, but is very underutilized nearer the goal. With Gracian taking the reins at times, Riquelme can work his way into the area and be on the receiving end himself. And, he’s a much better finisher than either Palermo or Palacio. To use a basketball analogy, Boca can post JRR down low and let him go one on one with his man or draw a double team and pass out to someone who has a more clear opportunity to score. And if it doesn’t pan out, no big deal. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
