hoping for this:
 
----------Barlow
Etienne--Kaku-------Muyl
------Casseres--Rza
Kemar--Tarek--Niallis--DUncan
-------------Robles
 
Let's not trot out the entire same starting 11 again - need some rotation for the midweek games


I am ok with this. I would only rest kemar. He is such an important player and we shouldn't push him too hard since he is coming back from a serious injury.

I do hope that Omir and DEJr start on the wings. Maybe that'll be a combination that will get the best out of the both of them, meaning that I like both of their individual skills, 1v1 skills, etc, and that starting both of them might be the combo that elevates/magnify those traits even more.

Agree , I was telling my son that I did not see White touch the ball more than few times , there was a change when Barlow came in.

The TV announcers were harping on it too, he wasn't getting it done in hold up play.   Even in the first half they were saying it.


Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Davis the only one we'd be asking a lot of but I think there's a big difference between him and Beze.


Id be fine with either Beze or even Muyl in Davis spot. Rest him. He flames out around the 60 minute mark in a lot of games anyway.

What's the best way to get tickets to this or one of next Metro games now days - is it Stubhub/SeatGeek or ticketmaster?

They all suck. Stubhub/SeatGeek probably have slighter lesser fees than Ticketmaster. 

 

Either way, tomorrow night you should pay no more than $15, all in, to get in.

wait until tomorrow night ~1 hour before kickoff and log on to stubhub.  the prices will probably drop to single digits by then (+ fees)

Please no Lade.  He is such a defensive liability.  The guy plays hard but constantly gets beat for pace.  I'd much rather see Duncan out there - with either Kemar or Murillo.

Lade is ok in that 5 man backline when he has some cover.

Murillo is no great shakes as a defender although he has speed which helps . He great going forward , I think he would be better used as a midfield flanker

Didn't Santos have travel troubles too?

 

We did outplay them the first 40 minutes...

I can't use my seats, and feel its bad karma to try and sell tickets for a Wed game against Vancouver.  So, if anyone's interested, I have two free seats in 201 for the first taker.
