Alot of shade always thrown at Barlow. 

He's had a few great plays this season - the assist last night, the through ball to Manoel.... 

The guy is working and is improving... Not where he needs to be certainly, but lets give a little credit to Starlow.  

Some talk of assistant coaches - Lesesne should bring BWP onboard to just coach up these forwards... Burke whiffing, Manoel never learning how to chip, and Barlow not being able to track a ball in the air.... These are all mental things I think. Hell, I've said it before, can we get Henry over here for a month of striker training? 

Side note - after the Philly game, Barlow hung out meeting all the fans, when everyone else went in... I desperately want Barlow to succeed, for him and for the team. 

If we rebranded to anything that wasnt based around Metro, Id question the ability of the people making that decision.

Yeah - Metro is a unique name and it's used and pronounceable in just about every language. 

RB I think screwed up by not calling the team RB Metro.

Only alternate I could see is Cosmos - it just has that 70s vibe that I could see intrigues an ownership group. I was thinking the other day, what about Comisario buys the team, just to become a voting member in MLS and pushes from the inside for pro/rel. 

Lets get it! 

He name checked meeting with Mario Gomez and Schnieder...

People's feels on the roster consistent preseason vs. 2 games in? 

My big concern was depth at CB and LB and I think that remains.... I also have some concerns now about the attacking side of midfield (which I didnt before), but I think just a little time to gel into the system is needed. There's a lot of players pushing for those spots - hopefully pressure makes diamonds out of Luqs, Fernandez, Harper....

All in all - they are who I thought they were. Just need to string some wins together.
