Don't know how many here are familiar with MLSnet's One Touch feature they added this year. I was not but just checked it out. It is basically tape review of the touches of a single player through out a single game. The one on their front page is our former Christian Gomez against Houston but if you click on the previous menu button on the left side you can pull up Luci's play vs. Chicago. Not that we didn't know it already but it is a pretty good study of where he is receiving the ball and in what position. The vast majority of the time he is outside the 18 and trying to create a pass or shot for himself.

Contrast that with the Gomez video and you can see the differences from last year to this by seeing where the forwards are in the Gomez vid.

Will be interesting if everyone sees the same thing.

Interesting link. I would like to see one like this of gallardo.

But withy that said it seems Emilio is trying to play more like gomez last year from these clips, he drops more back and trys to do passes and suchand dribble hard like Christian would before for us, one problem though...hes TOO DAMN SLOW, and his touch isnt that good neither his vision!!

It reminds me when Alecko was trying to do this too, it just isnt working out with him going so deep.

He should just basically cherry pick at the top and wait for those perfect moments.
