Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 4186704, member: 523"] Third best CB, maybe 4th behind Robinson and Long, maybe Brooks but he's been solid in qualifying when tapped. Since the rise of the Robinsons, D which was a huge question mark coming into the year hasn't been an issue beyond the odd lapse or experimental squad by GG. GK has been great thanks to Turner's emergence. Another preseason question mark. The midfield has been good if unspectacular at times but as a group of 4, we've never had better. Up front has and will be the issue. We knew we needed a Striker to step up and no one has. We thought we were strong on the outside but CP hasn't been consistent and Reyna has been absent. Both those things need to change. Last ? is what are we getting from Dest. Doesn't seem in sync with the rest of the team and is the most likely guy to make a mistake when he should be one of our biggest threats. We may go only a well as he does balancing the attack. GG needs a better plan on offense. This team wants to play more direct. Collectively they play too slow. To much time on the ball, too many touches, poor touches causes them to cough up the ball and all the back/square passing just makes us easier to defend. Our guys are fast, they can move well. They can't dribble past multiple defenders. Get it upfield, get it wide and get it in the box. Pinball soccer works for us. Dekeing defenders and blasting it from 18 yds out doesn't work for us.
