Claudio Echeverri/On Loan at River Plate

[Otamendi's Beard]

It was a pretty hectic game (as these ones are) and he was in and out of it.

A great assist when he did receive the ball in a dangerous area and I think he'll flourish in a team that controls the game.

However, at this stage in his career he can have moments of being ineffectual, which is why Demichelis is prone to subbing him.

Picked up an assist against Boca Juniors. Was subbed after 60 mins and River Plate fans were going mad on twitter for it, asking for Demichelis to be sacked

Like the match thread on here??

Claudio started and went 64m in a 1-3 road win, got an assist off a corner ...

River twitter was furious he was taken off, ha

An assist off a corner?? Bloody hell, pay them double and get his ass over to Manchester now!

Demi told the press CE had a fever the night before, so he replaced him at 60m, shrug ...

Hope we keep the receipt.

Demi not running a kid into the ground.
Obviously doesn't want to ruin his chance of big job with City or Girona in near future :D

River visited Paraguay last night for the Copa Libs, won 2-1 vs Libertad. CE started and, per Demi, asked to come off at HT due to feeling worn down by his recent illness. Watched the first half, thought he played well despite these highlights not being very impressive, rose-colored glasses maybe ...

BTW, his replacement, 16yo Franco Mastantuono, scored the match winner at 80m.

I have a feeling he's totally the real thing. I've been watching his progress and personally I can't wait to see him in the Premier league.

asking for Demichelis to be sacked

They must be City fans.

River got knocked out of the Arg Copa back a spell so the sked kinda got thin ... but they travelled to Uruguay last night for a Copa Libs match against a team full of Luis Saurez devotees, alternating between supreme thuggery and shameless simulation. 2-2 Draw, River lost a 2 goal lead pretty quickly when CE was subbed off at 73m. He was unremarkable, like a bumper in a pinball machine is unremarkable, mute warning ...
