I don't know what's going on with him, maybe had an Ashley Madison account and is in fear of being found out by his model wife, but whatever that distraction may be his play is suffering. Am I the only one that's seen a drop in his performance that last 4 games? Someone pull up the stats, I don't think he completed 50% of his passes.

Def start Veron on the left and maybe even start SWP on the right if not the middle behind BWP.
Also Perrinelle should statt Zubar looks too slow and doesn't olay oit the back at all just punts it and gives it rihht back to opponent

The thing with Sacha is that he's trying to play a mix of a playmaker (but not a true one) and a ball-winning midfielder in the attacking half. Its an odd combo and it just isn't working too well.

It's not that odd of a position in Europe where you have a lot of deep-lying playmakers (Pirlo, Xavi).The thing with Sacha is that he's trying to play a mix of a playmaker (but not a true one) and a ball-winning midfielder in the attacking half. Its an odd combo and it just isn't working too well.

Its odd when he's so far up the field. If he played a bit further back results would be alot different

Play him at def mid and he will look good. Keep at attacking mid and we get the mixed bag of good, bad and ugly.
That's better than a mixed bag of a fistful of dollars.

Not sure if you're a big believer in Whoscored.com's ratings, but Kljestan has been all over the place in their ratings, one of the more wildly-inconsistent players. Here are his last ten games, w/ the 5.21 obviously being the red card game. I just can't bring myself to look up all of his passing stats, but he was at about 67% in the last game w/ 3 key passes, and 81.5% the game before w/ 4 key passes.
21-06-2015 New York Red Bulls 1 : 2 Vancouver Whitecaps 11' 5.21
28-06-2015 New York City FC 1 : 3 New York Red Bulls 90' 8.17
05-07-2015 Columbus Crew 2 : 1 New York Red Bulls 90' 6.83
12-07-2015 New York Red Bulls 4 : 1 New England Rev. 80' 6.81
19-07-2015 Orlando City 0 : 2 New York Red Bulls 81' 8.48
02-08-2015 Philadelphia Union 1 : 3 New York Red Bulls 90' 8.25
06-08-2015 Montreal Impact 1 : 1 New York Red Bulls 90' 6.81
10-08-2015 New York Red Bulls 2 : 0 New York City FC 76' 7.78

The rise of the "regista" in a lot of the European leagues has lead to teams playing a ball-winning CM in an advanced position. Why, even though Sacha's offense wasn't great in the last City match, he still had a good game because of how he shut down Pirlo so effectively. MLS doesn't have a lot of deep-lying playmakers (Pirlo, Gerrard to some extent) though.Its odd when he's so far up the field. If he played a bit further back results would be alot different

I feel like his season has been heavily criticized on these boards, but universally praised elsewhere.
