Thiago Martin to the first team, Youri back to midfield -- and if we don't play a 3-5-2 sit Amado!~

If Jordan Cila and his 7 goals in two plus seasons are going to save us...God help us.


I really don't think the problem is forward. Youri and buddle are more than competent. The problem is the midfield, which is garbage, and Graham in the back who is horrendous. If we had a left back (canero?), we could shift Mendes into the center, and all would be good. But we don't.

Anyone for giving Magee a chance?

Who said Jordan Cila was going to save us? I had just forgotten he was on the roster, that was all. He was brought in as our 5th striker. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of anyone in that position. Who would?

I was hoping that around the 70th minute they would have taken off Guevara and put on Magee, having Youri play just behind Magee & Buddle, but anyway.

I haven't seen enough of Graham to make a final decision on him, but remember how often we used to get beat in the air? Midgets like Twellman used to school us. I think with Graham, you have to look at his game differently. He's back there to close down the crosses, not just to play with his feet. So, he needs to play better as well, but you can't look at him the same way you'd look at Mendes and assume that they are equals. That backpass to O'Rourke in the second half was a little shocking, but he's a rookie in MLS and will improve.

For all of the complaining about the D, we've given up 2 goals in 2 games and got a shutout against a team that has the ability to pick you apart. I think we need to remember this was game 2, and there are 30 left to get better in the back.

And, Aris, I don't know if you'd be happy if you didn't have someone on the team to complain about. :D

Probably not. haha.


I thought Magee was going to get a look yesterday to be honest. Especially after the pre-season he supposedly had.


Look, I agree, that it's commendable that our defense has held up in terms of allowing goals (don't forget, our defense started off last season with the same record).

At the same time though, our defense has been picked apart. I'm def. negative on Graham, and i think the Mendes to CB has to happen...against RSL.

Are these matches open to the public yet? I'd like to start going.

Same here. The prices would be cheaper.

I asked you if you wanted to head over. If worst comes to worst we're denied entry and we go home. Next game is 5/14 at 10am (and another the following Sunday as well, same time.) Mark it down. Let's get a bunch of us to just show up. If they see that this is something people actually wouldn't mind attending, maybe they can work something out. I'd be up for it. We'd be home by 12:30pm.

That's a good idea, but we should e-mail Alexi and see if we can get in on it in some manner. It would be cool even if it was 20 of us.

please post any updates if you get any.

We had 6 strikers in the starting line-up, we better score some goals.
