So I guess Cahill recovered nicely. LeToux out there as well. NY must see something with that lineup. Interesting, they seem to be playing Henry in the 10-spot tonight.
Robles is coming up big so far. To think some of us questioned why we needed him (Funny how everyone has their role).
Connor Lade already has a yellow and caused a penalty----if Im Backe i take him out at halftime. The kid is good but it's clear he is not on his game tonight. Perhaps it's playoff jitters or maybe he's better off at midfield than at defense....
Same sometimes you have to bite the bullet and admit its not working out. Also had a bad giveaway in our half. Though closest thing to right back on the bench is Solli (which i wouldnt mind for the height to match Ponitus
Apparently Rafa suffered "calf tightness" and he is out for "precautionary reasons." The man is a walking disaster--he cant keep from getting hurt. I think he missed like close to 85 % or 90% of the season this year and now this when his team needs him the most.... I'm sorry but at some point as a player you have got to acknowledge to yourself that your body just cant play pro soccer anymore even if your heart and mind are willing...... Either that or this is just an excuse to cover up a disciplinary benching for Rafa having yelled at Backe at halftime
So instead of dealing with Marquez after the game he puts Miller in and keeps Lade in with a yellow card. Love the team, but I just don't get our coach at all.
They just said Rafa was arguing with Backe and no one would answer if that is why he is out to the game. At least that is what I believe they said on NBC
If he was benched for disciplinary reasons--Backe could not have chosen a worst time to flex his muscles! And now DC just got a goal---
