P/I/P NER vs CMB, Sat July 9, 7:30p ET

I've wondered about that (subbing Caldwell off) too and I've come to the conclusion that it's Heaps "rest" strategy for him. I think he's maybe the only player that Heaps wants to have available to start every MLS game, so instead of sitting him occasionally, he's chosen to spare him some minutes when he feels he can.

As for who to replace him with, I'm with you, give Herivaux a chance already. Whenever we've seen him, he's looked up to the task. Daigo is just not a strong dmid at this point, and his giveaway cost us the Montreal game. There's just no upside there - he occasionally will do something good, but he's barely just a competent player, at best.

Sure, at this point, a 1-game winning streak against a bad team proves nothing.

Before the defensive blunder, I felt this was our best game all season.

Watson starting at dmid is a significant move - that's not just the same ole', same ole'.

And, Finlay did almost nothing - and then came off (should we start calling that a "Ronaldo"? ).

 

That headline made me laugh. How many wins do we have? How many low points are we responsible for?

 

Lee's goal has my vote. Urruti's goal was athletic, but Lee's was also beautifully done as well. Either goal is a deserved winner.
