my belief is that the our first goal should be enough to squeak out a victory if the defense tightens up and lock out the opponents. If that fails then a tie should be good enough for a point. To allow the opponents to tie and take the lead & win the game is really god damn awful. This recent pattern by the team is really sickening. Marshe has to come up with a better strategy for defense, better use of substitutes and insert different players into the starting 11 that can get the job done. :wacko:

I'll always be an irrational Dane fan, but he's pretty much useless these days. Well, not pretty much, IS useless. I really hope they get a couple of impact players when this next window opens. I'm willing to extend my goodwill til then.

Sacha would be fine if we played more of a bucket 4-3-3.  And Grella would be fine if we had a more natural CAM.  But playing these two together nullifies their roles on the team when you have Felipe and Dax behind them.  

On another note, its very sad seeing Roy Miller's defense exposed like this in the center.  This is exactly why Petke moved away from the 4-3-3 to a more compact team style, our individual defending is not good enough to withstand counters when defenders are isolated with attackers.

Sash has to be the most overpaid player on this team.  One of worst attacking center mids this team has seen in it's history

salaries aren't out yet though so hard to say.

 

i agree...bc he's not a CAM.   Think back to last year's playoff formation when we were 100% healthy.   He would have played that Alexander role next to dax and behind Peguy.  Thats his position


5 year plan

Sacha isn't a bad player like some our suggesting - he just appears shit because, well, everyone else around him is shit. He has the ball, ready to play, but nobody makes the runs.

Sasha has one assist in 13 games and leads all field players in mins played. Something is not right if he is our C Mid...

Nah.  BWP and Sam are not shit.  He's playing out of position, redundant to Felipe.  He can't create for anyone else, and he can't create or use space for himself either.  Or, if he can, he hasn't shown it.

Waste of a salary, that is for sure then.

This team is cheap, so would have been it better to get someone as a LM for his money?...you know he's gotta be making DP money...~500-600k at the least.  Then again, I don't know how much of a midfield of just Alexander and McCarty would have been.

In general, playing with 10 men will put you at a disadvantage.
