I wish we arrange our reserves to play SA once a month. Those are the types of minutes the guys need to be getting.
Salazar and JJ looked pretty bad. You could tell some players were frustrated that JJ wouldn't let go of the ball. Sherrod looked good but did miss a great chance. Both fullbacks were not good but Creavalle still seems to be shaking off some rust.
He started at BBVA Compass last year against Arabe Unido and W Connection. I believe he also played in 2 league games. He started and had an assist against the NY Red Bulls last year at BBVA.
Sammy Appiah also scored a goal in MLS. It's a small sample but I'd like to see him on the gamesheet somewhere other than "subs not used" as a DP.
doesn't surprise me-I talked to Giles last night and wished him luck-he was like huh? I said in the scrimmage. He looks at me like I am speaking German-Warren comes over and is like, dude, we play San Antonio tommorr how did Warren look? I spoke to him last night and he said he was going to give a go today, or least try and convince the staff to let him try.
He survived at RB, but still looks a ways from last years form. That's to be expected of course. He's young so I think he'll get it back fairly quickly. Not sure if RB is his best spot though?
I got to go... Chabala was not very good... Johnson didn't play the quick enough... Sherrod looked good, but had two finishes that should have been converted... at least one for sure... Dynamo looked much better in the first half... in the second half we were beat on the counter for the two goals..
Hey Giles !!! Good luck in your game against Vancouver next week !! Huh? Dude, we have a game against Vancouver next week.
Line up looks like final audition for loan to Pittsburgh. Sounds like Salazar and JJ still good bets with Arena in need of play time and probably game fitness. Who is the mystery 4th man?
in his defense-he explained that he wasn't going to play so he really wasn't paying attention. My thought was-don't you still have to be there for training and wouldn't you know the schedule? I guess the guy is secure in his job and does fret about the small stuff.
Actually don't think Salazar is going. I did but changed my view as don't think he'd actually get any playing time. JJ, Arena, Deric and believe Ownby is the 4th guy. I think the delay over the announcement is Dom wanting to be sure Cascio is healthy before he commits to sending Ownby.
Id prefer to keep Ownby. He can play LB as well and can be a spark off the bench if needed. But whatever Dom says.
I like some things about Ownby but I think Dom would more likely slip Taylor over there and put Brunner or Cochran in there. I think he might be waiting to see how healthy Creavalle is as well as Cascio to see if Ownby is needed.
