    Phillies defense has been great of late. We don't score goals often. Our best hope is likely a scoreless draw. I'm guessing we get a 0-1 loss with a few missed chances and more lack of good high percentage chances created.

    Based on whoscored stats and what they derive to be team's strengths and weaknesses, this could be a really interesting one. Momentum certainly favors Philly who has taken 14 out of 18 points in their last 6 (undefeated) and is perfect in their last 4. We meanwhile have 3 points out of 18 with a single win in the run and everything else losses.

    Philly:
    + Strengths
    Attacking down the wings
    Aerial duels
    Defending set pieces
    Shooting from direct free kicks
    - Weaknesses
    Defending against long shots
    Defending against through ball attacks

    Protecting the lead
    Style of Play
    • Long balls
    • Attack through the middle
    • Attacking down the right
    • Consistent first eleven
    • Opponents play aggressively against them


    RSL:
    + Strengths
    Creating long shot opportunities
    Protecting the lead
    Stealing the ball from the opposition
    - Weaknesses
    Keeping possession of the ball
    Defending against skillful players
    Aerial duels
    Finishing scoring chances
    Avoiding individual errors
    Defending against through ball attacks
    Real Salt Lake's Style of Play
    • Attempt crosses often
    • Control the game in the opposition's half
    • Attempt through balls often
    • Take long shots
    • Long balls
    • Take a lot of shots
    • Play with width

    A lot of interesting contrasts in styles that might actually help RSL... aside from aerial duels. Having 3 people under 5'6" on the field effects that a lot. infact, ouside of our central defenders, we generally dont have players strong in the air at all. Mullholland is likely the next best.

    The new one is him running into Sean Johnson at full speed and flipping himself while Johnson merely stumbles.

    In more positive news (I think), we'll be competing with 15 to 32 and family for straws in section 14 this weekend. But I wanted to see Beckerman play, too.

    Wish you were closer to section 31.
    With this news I will give a prediction of 3-1 either way, with a 75% chance it will be a loss.

    That's an LA, Seattle, NYCFC, Portland fine and suspension.

    Happens against most any other MLS team and it's meh from the Disco.

    Besides, someone should do that to the "take a duece" every game.

    I'll have to glare that way from section 4. At least until the sun is in my eyes and I cant look up more than a few feet off the field. I'm hoping the rough part of the sun is during halftime.

    Sunny and Luke midfield duo? Oh joy.
    Oh, and PLEASE put Rusnak back in the AM spot. LM is not his position. He's not bad at it, he's just so much better/useful in the middle of the park.

    Something like this then?
    Nick
    Tony Schu Maund Schmidt
    Sunny Luke
    Hernandez Rusnak Plata
    Silva

    Anybody know the status on Phillips?

    If you're going to run more of a flat 4 midfield, I'd much rather put Rusnak as one of the middle two. It at least gives him more freedom to run through the middle. At that point though, it'd probably be easier to just run a diamond with Rusnak up top, Sunny in back, Mulholland on one side with someone else on the other.

    This will be the first match I'll be able to attend this season. I am excited. I am going to drink some beer. Not too much, though. Just enough. We will win.

    Knew I was missing someone obvious when I made this lineup. Switch him with Hernandez

    Watching alone... DW finds the current edition of RSL rather tiresome... feels like an obligation to watch... I can't disagree. But, I don't have anything else to do. So, I'm watching. Not sucking too badly right now.

    That was fun, interconnected attacking soccer in half one.

    It's a pretty wide open game, can't fault the effort. Generating shots, and shots on frame. What a concept.

    Savarino makes the team better.
