  1. I didn’t know him and Zellabos before this match, I have feeling that Aimar wanted Palacios to play as trequartista with Zeballos and Sforza supporting him. Sflorza more like a creative CM receiving ball deep to initiate attack, Zellabos more by inspiration and Palacios in total freedom. In order to play in this way, you also need fullbacks move a lot in order to provide the trequartista more solutions, but I found that it wasn’t the case. Few times Palacios had no solution and can only keep the ball and expect opponents committing a fault on him. Hope they will play better together in the next 2 games. Less and less coach wants Trequartista now and I found Aimar very courageous to keep that.

    • Now he’s getting more minutes. If hes back to his best…no probs. Still, we have to find out proper CB pair and backup. May be as a backup…he still has chances. Especially, if Scaloni thinking of 3 man backline as his one of the alternative plans.
