    Starts yet again. How does Trapp get a call over this man?

    Yes rebound off a failed block. He just had another good opportunity shut down, but it will be too late anyway. Good to see this late energy and heart.

    He deserved that goal as he's easily been their best field player today. All over the place dispossessing Leverkusen players from behind, switching the field with good long passes. Earlier had a rocket of a shot that announcer said would have been goal of the season that just went wide. Hopefully 3G was watching as Roldan and Trapp can't carry this kids jock.

    Yeah but Trapp is still better.

    It was a decent game for Fredo, putting out fires where he could, but that defense wants to go back to the second division.

    I watched an entirely different game, apparently.

    He was often absent, lost a lot of duels in the midfield and Bayer generally had the run of the midfield. I don't think he was bad, but he didn't have a good game, goal aside. He wasn't all over the place and dominating the midfield. Did look okay passing, though.

    Before everyone gets their panties in a twist, this doesn't mean he's not better than Wil Trapp. I just think he was pretty mediocre today, and that's including the goal.

    What a naive post. He didn’t “dominate the midfield” vs. the 14th best team in the world (538). Being “mediocre” vs big 4 UCL teams just isn’t comparable to MLS/ B2/ Championship.

    It’s also amazing how your biases allow you to just put aside the goal. SMH.

    Yeah. I definitely watched a different game. Alfredo was good in a bad situation. You might spend a few minutes watching the game again, with fast foward, and just track Alrfedo. He positioned well, made good interceptions, and some good passes. He was not Dusseldorf's problem.

    Let's hope this time they don't try to play him as a LM.

    I'm torn on this one. Only reason he's on the team is because the real stars playing in MLS can't play.

    I guess you take your chances even though the chances of a return call up are 0.0%

    oh baby, may I suggest taking a class in sarcasm? Maybe just a seminar? You can drop by my house and in within 30min if you don't run away crying, you will be a better man/woman for it. By the way, Lima is a top 5 city in the world. I miss it.

    The best thing that happened to Morales is getting Stephen in the team. It made GB take notice of him.

    And Morales with the assist.
