It seems Philly fans have signed up on metrofanatic to vote for themselves (in 'What team do you hate more?') . No real fan of this team would vote anything other than DC.
Hard to have an opinion on players when so many guys look bad.
Good speed, works hard, seems pretty athletic. Not quite ready for prime time though.
Overall I see a number 9 similar to BWP. Focused on goal, not great vision with the ball but then again, most kids don't have great vision yet.
Dunno about sending him to RB2. I wanna see more from him, but not sure how that's gonna happen.
RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.
RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee
He's making smart runs, but final passing towards him isn't good. No one, even prime BWP from the past couple of years never made anything good out of long floated balls by CBs over the top. Expecting the skinny 18yo to do better is just dumb.
Either Shep or Yardley mentioned during the broadcast that Armas considers Jorgensen's ability to use his speed to make long runs behind the CBs one of his biggest strengths. I think those long floated balls were as much the game plan as they were poor execution.
Oh yeah, definitely the game plan, definitely a bad idea.

"Over the top" is key there. Getting a CB running to his goal and having to pass back or clear the ball in to throw-in on the run with 1-2 touches is a good outcome. Decent chance of messing up or passing it to a RB player in a dangerous area (even more so at the MLS level of CBs as opposed to Bundesliga).Long ball over the top with a 4-2-2-2 is pretty much a staple of the Leipzig gameplan - at least last year. The thinking is that your forwards won't get to every ball, but it will allow your defense and mids to push forward and start the press from deep in their zone.
Passing to him was bad. But he does not get enough separation because he is weaker than the 20+ yr old defender on his case. Needs to bulk up and play for RB2.
Dude is 18, can we give him some time.
It was a highly speculative signing based on a limited sample size. He deserves time to try and figure it out, but this team needs more from him now. That's more an execution error in roster strategy rather than a mistake for signing a kid they've identified as a potential future contributor.
Now if you wanna argue they should've seen more than 13 games from him, I'll agree with you.
