I guess the rebuild begins now! Chron reporting new coach: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/spo...-Pauw-as-head-coach-12386541.php?t=3bacc0d3e1 Lots of international coaching experience, but no club experience as of yet. Hope she succeeds - it'll definitely be nice having (at least) three women coaching in NWSL now.
So assuming Lloyd and if she plays more than five games for the Dash ur breaking ground, it looks like this ............................Jordan Ohai...................................................Daly ...........................Lloyd ..............??????...............Brooks Levin................................................Poliana .....................Van Wyk....Bruna ........................Campbell
Not sure if it means anything but Carli Lloyd doesn't follow the Dash anymore on twitter and vice versa.
Have seen some rumors of Lloyd to SkyBlue tho they seemed the more wishful type of Carli playing near home. Im sure she would enjoy playing with Kerr again. I could also see Pauw preferring a midfielder like Rodriguez or Corboz running her attack. Of course u have to get past the fact that Lloyd sells tickets which the Dash front office r very conscious of.

They traded Lloyd and Beckie for Press. Mewis looks to be staying and will compete for midfield spot with there new INT player. I's also possible Press plays forward opening another midfield spot.
Hagen depends on Agnew and Daly. If they brought in Agnew to play FB as rumored and if Daly plays somewhere wide then Hagen probably still has a bench role.
Wow, I love the trade. Beckie was nice but she couldn't really score for the Dash with the chances she had. Lloyd never wanted to play for the Dash so I am glad that she is gone. I think I will get season tickets again.
So Id love to know what Morgan Brian thinks. With Lloyd and Andressinha in the wind Brian would had the CAM job to herself with the likes of Press, Ohai. Jordan and Daly to make her look good. Instead she has exiled herself to Elba where she can sit on the bench and eat macaroons.
That's an interesting observation. Toss in their new Dutch coach and her preference for fielding a technical, possession based squad and it seems the new Dash would be an ideal place for Morgan Brian. Personally, I'm wondering if anybody's given Lyon's kit man a heads-up.
NEWS: All-time leading scorer Kealia Ohai has re-signed with the Dash:https://t.co/X0c0qIySb7— Corey Roepken (@RipSports) January 29, 2018 Plus the Dash pick 157th in the dispersal draft.
So the word now is Press is trying very hard to either play at PSG or use the threat to force another trade.
Didn't I hear something about if you wanted to play in a league in Europe, you would need it to happen by January 31? Does that mean she has lost the leverage she had in wanting to force some kind of trade? Assume she does play for Houston, most likely, if LAFC gets a 2019 expansion team, she probably want to be traded to them. So she can suck it up for one year.
It 's sad if Press thought she had to "suck" it up to play in Houston. We have one of the best stadiums & training facilities. Management is also the best, they have proven willing to go out and find and pay the best players.
Yeah it is to bad! I wonder if the heat and humidity is something that is effecting her decision, especially with what happened to Daley. I actually think if they could find a way to enclose the stadium, it would help in a big way, and probably would help with improving on attendance as well. I remember having to do that at some of the Texas A&M games in August, the years my Grand Daughter played there. It was unbearable for me.
