Super_Ally 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Boca gets on the end of quite a lot of crosses tbh... and in BOTH boxes as well !! Noticed this more in the oppositions box. I was thinking of when a lot of longer balls are played up field it seems to easy for the forwards to win the aeral duels. Timing and attacking headers at set peices may be a different story. Its Jelavic i've noticed recently for winning a lot of headers at defensive set peices. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does SA only problem with that thou is we head it out to the other team because we defend corners with everybody in the box starting to do my head in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to having everyman back at a corner here? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not every defender has to be 8ft tall and brilliant in the air tbh. I do agree his height is the only criticism I'd make of Boca, but in his defence (no pun intended) the little and large partnership with Goian works perfectly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said that a long time ago, something I just don't understand. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree his height is the only criticism I'd make of Boca, but in his defence (no pun intended) the little and large partnership with Goian works perfectly. Look at Barca's central defence. Pique is 6ft 4 (so slightly shorter than Goian) whilst Puyol is only 5ft 10 (shorter than Boca). And they do well defensively. Admittedly they probably dont go up against too much aerial stuff but they still handle themselves well in the CL against British type teams. I agree with you, playing central defence is a partnership and those two (Goian & Boca) work well together. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
