Why would you think their defense is bad? Currently, they are 4th best defense in Superliga Argentina. Simeone's first season as a manager in Europe ATM was the best defense in La Liga and Europe. Tata's only season at Barca resulted in us being a second-best defense in La Liga behind ATM, despite having Pinto as our main goalkeeper for few months. IN the UCL group stage we were a second-best defense in the tournament behind ATM and Chelsea. In KO, we conceded 1 goal in two legs against City and 2 goals in two legs against ATM.
Now compare the above results to results we got under coaches like Lucho and Valverde.
I hope we lose every game for the rest of the season. And that CR7 winns the ballon dor aswell.

That and their press was atrocious. When they started pressing the distance between the forward line and their mid was 30 meters. River had a piss weak opposition in getting out of their box.
I don't watch River to have any informed opinion om them or Gallardo but that instance was not "Champagne" football imo.

This is champagne football and true one touch passing. River's backline and midfield dwelled on the ball for ages and the opposition's press was disastrous. In fact, we've been dwelling on the ball in build-up since like 2016. So Gallardo isn't fixing that.

It seems most people who want EV out looking for another figure that is more like a polished version of Valverde like Koeman. If Gallardo isn't fixing it then coaches like Koeman will take us further away from this Champagne football.

Same here. I can't say anything about River Plate and their manager since I don't watch South American football at all.

Boss is going nowhere this season. May as well cheer the team on and hope for victories.

Quote me later on. The day this incompetent manager is leaving is the day when Tackle stops posting in this forum.
