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.

I think sasha has gotten better in the middle, but next to dax would be good too.

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
I just want Metro to win a title sometime in my lifetime.

His name has not been spelled correctly once in this thread.

I agree about starting SWP and Veron against the Scum. Also definitely need Perinelle back on defense. Sacha Kljestan is a tough name, both first and last, for people to spell correctly.

Sacha has been miserable in his current role. There's really no way around it. He was better in the Fire match than he'd been in a little while, but still pretty bad. Derp is basically right. Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Felipe stay (and get alternated with Davis) while Sacha moves in a big trade for a cb.

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).

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.

it was working for quite a bit when we allowed the 2nd least amt of goals in MLS.

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

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.

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

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.

Strange season...

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