    Men's soccer 2018

    Outclassed and outmatched by IU to end their season. I am begging UConn to fire Reid. He is so far past his time that the school has no chance to be competitive with him here. He has no coherent strategy on offense or defense, no ability to recruit the "right" type of players because of the...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Just met up with a couple players. Here's the story on Memphis. Apparently their key player, a formal La Masia kid from Barcelona, was ripping UConn to shreds but got hurt early. Memphis didn't know what to do once he left the game. UConn took over. 2nd goal was a freebee as Memphis pushed...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Great win over the weekend. I wasn't able to watch the game, but it sounds like they did quite well. I was however able to see Louisville vs. NC State. As I did, I wondered about the differences between the 3 programs. In style and results, UConn lags far behind. Louisville's and NCS's...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Another Reid tactical failure. Good teams play with a system and balance. Offensively, the two defensive midfielders drop into the backfield to take the ball of center backs, no one fills in the gaps, ending up leaving the middle empty with the only option to play long balls or around the...

    "National title potential"... please. Won't win conference. Won't be in the tournament. Will struggle for 500. I'm all for school spirit and supporting the team, but that's serious head-in-the-sand stuff. Metzler and Lapert are good tacklers that add to defense , but lose the ball too often...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Clutch win last night, and I hate to be a downer... but, let's look at where we're at: 4-2 record 4 wins against 4 weak opponents, 2 of those wins required penalty and/or free kicks, 1 required 2OT and a hat-trick, 1 (against Dartmouth) they were outplayed and lucky that their striker was...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Good win last night, but also exposed ongoing concerns. UConn conceded the center to a more physical and more skilled pair and was forced, or prefer, to attack from the wings. Once Dartmouth lost their big striker, their attack suffered and UConn was able to grow into the game. However...

    Men's soccer 2018

    Players saying no competition for spots, only Miller's recruits play. No real coaching, attacking strategy, defensive structure or coherent game plan. Squeaked by two weak opponents, humiliated by ND, outplayed by IU. Dartmouth could decide the season and Reid's fate.
