Default Re: Exhibition against SJSU this Saturday!

i stayed until about the 65 min, and thought this largely reserve side bossed the spartans around just as i expected. apart from a couple of defensive gaffs SJSU failed to punish us on and a free kick outside of the box, the possession was almost entirely ours and the score should've been 5-0. i thought the swedish trialist looked pretty good-really strong and layed off a lot of nice balls for yuri and then later fabrice, but maybe it was the competition. he should have had more than one goal too.

Pozniak played very well in the holding mid spot--even when SJSU was able to put him under pressure now and then he would spread the ball wide to either riley, salinas or the right back and right mid (wasnt sure who they were) and i dont remember much to criticize other than his failure to get a shot off when he pushed all the way forward a couple of times.

salinas looked very well again-- such quick feet. they had a hard time even trying to foul him. did make a couple great moves to get to the endline but his cross was hit way too hard.

i thought riley looked better too--his touch has improved and he and salinas are really starting to click--only one miscommunication that led to a giveaway that i saw.
