    he's actually had a pretty good week, but seems to do better partnered in cm with someone who likes to get up-and-down as well. the mini-yedlin kid isnt having the best night but started to come on towards the end of the 2nd half so hopefully can continue to improve.

    He's just far too slow and robotic to play in the center of the field. Maybe he's a completely different player up top, but he doesn't look like a professional to me.

    could be right, but he's been solid this tournament centrally. played simple (maybe you call this robotic), not really a creator but more mobile than i would have expected and strong on the ball. not sure of his normal position but seems like he could be useful. of course havent seen many alternatives either.

    Yes, i agree he has been solid. But, i do believe we need a lot more than he can give us from that position.

    Expect play to get much better now that John Req. has entered the game. He has the ability to help with possession.

    Sounds like our guys are mentally exhausted.

    I think he's played ok based on his abilities but his abilities for me is limited as he progresses through the ranks to higher levels. He's stiff, basic ball skills, not nimble, nor particularly gifted. Moore is playing his worst game but has played pretty good this week. He's played 5 games in 8 days?

    Sounds like desperation from Tab. Hope the kid does not pick up an injury due to fatigue.

    The team looks tired. Oh well, hopefully Ramos has learned from this tournament.

    Could say that of almost every player though right?

    Learn to bring more players? Or players that won't be called away cause they are needed by the teams paying them?

    What's the goal here. To only have players available for every game? Or to be able to look at a number of players no matter what the results are.

    Nah I didn't mean as a knock on Ramos this time. Just that hopefully he's seen what he need to.
