MLS Flavors of the Week (de-merged) 2014(R)

Curse of the commentator, as NE begins moving the ball around on the ground, almost right on cue.

 

How did Keane win MVP in this league? He gives the ball away so often and he's such a selfish player.

 

Nguyen-Jones are a strong combination in the middle, but no central midfield in the league is the equal of Sarvas-Juninho.

 

Rowe's touch has been bad. And just when I write this he puts in a good ball... Interesting Heaps has switched Rowe and Bunbury.. Makes them more dangerous and unpredictable like this

 

He's had a poor post-season, and I suspect that he's not 100%. He's genuinely been the league's best player for the past year or two, nicking that mantle from Thierry Henry.

 

Welp.......this game has been boring as hell........

 

I think Donovan's been carded more this season than in the rest of his career put together.

 

Both teams playing cagey none of the backlines are pushing up when in possession.

 

He's been a good player. He's not been the best, and I wouldn't even put him in the top 5. He's not even been the best player on his own team for the past few seasons.

 

Gyasi Zardes!! Man, is that ever a cold streak breaker....

 

So Farrel is the guy numerous people have campaigned to be on the NT to change our fortunes?

Uh huh....

 

He'd be better as a CB. To be fair he's usually much better than this though.

 

lord, this is not the game to get people turned on to MLS or soccer in general is it. MLS Cups teams always play so nervous.

 

I think he'd be best as a DM.

 

This is the second opponent in a row that's been really taking it to Farrell. I had considered him a candidate for January, but I've been re-thinking that, at least at RB.

 

He seems to have trouble picking out a pass when forced to think and move. Not a good trait for CM.

 

That's a couple times now that Rogers really needed a better final product.

 

Tierney! Cap him now!!!1!1!11

only halfway sarcastic!!!

 

That's what happens when you're wasteful.

 

This game can now end the proper way.

 

Zardes needs to show some maturity and keep his head on square.

 

With a Donovan goal. Keane just doesn't have it today.

 

outside of Robbie Rogers and Zardes, our flavors havent been very flavor-y

 

Teal almost gets another wondergoal. If there's a guy just begging for a January call-up, it's him.

 

Dorman for Nguyen. Heaps is banking on PKs, apparently.
