Colorado Rapids @ Chivas USA 6/16

I'd like to see how we do w/ 3 forwards. Remove maybe Orlando and play Merlin.

GK
Shavar? Suarez Zotinca?
Nagamura

Jesse? Sacha Panchito

Razov
Gol-indo Merlin

Please don't castrate, just a thought Either way, I feel were in for another win. Especially since Colorado's individual player chemistry seems a lil' suspect to me.

 

i have my 2 season tickets (section 132) available for the colorado game, unfortunately i can't make it. let me know via private message if you're interested. both tickets for $40...

thanks!

 

Chivas used a 3 forward set up against D.C. United early in May. With Cunliffe sitting in behind Razov and Galindo. It worked really well in the first half until they subbed Cunliffe out in the 60th minute and put Taylor in. No goals were scored with it, but many chances went asking. I would like to see it again especially against the Rapids.

 

Who were our fullbacks last Saturday? We didn't seem to miss Johnny B. too much and the RB looked good as well (it wasn't Lawson).

I'd love to see Merlin get the start in a 4-3-3. He hasn't gotten off the schnide yet, but I think he'll produce for us. Gol-indo is in great form, as is Panchito.

 

We had O. Perez back int the lineup taking over Jonny's spot. He did pretty well I thought.

 

Yeah, I was impressed as well. Let's hope he can keep it up b/c Jonny's gonna be out for awhile on Nats duty.

Also noticed that Sacha was playing on the right of the 4-3-3. I didn't notice him much, but moving him to the right allows Panchito to really control the center of the pitch, and he was very good on Saturday. Sacha played for the Nats on the right against China (with a very nice assist)...I wonder if he's being groomed for that role? He seems a natural CM to me, but we have Panchito and Jesse Marsch there. Perhaps Preki's getting him ready for the Copa.

 

Sadly enough this will be the first game that I will miss this season. But I am sure that the boys will completely outclass Colorado on Saturday. The Chivas are clearly in top form coming into this match while Colorado seems to be suffering from inner turmoil. With a high enough score we may see Clavijo get the axe. I'll bet on a two goal lead for this round with Galindo and Panchito finding the back of the net.

 

Good prediction. Pancho really needs to find the back of the net. We are well into the season and it seems like he's pushing up well enough, but just can't get that final touch in to score.

 

Hell yeah, chivas won today. Gaylaxy has only won one game totally garbage. I remember all these chivas haters were saying chivas was only winning in the beginning of the season because we were playing lame teams, excuses excuses.

 

Great win...again!!! Guzano was SUPER SOLID! Good to finally see Panchito be a lil' selfish and take a shot, a good one at that. Hopefully next game he'll take two or three. Nice footwork by Matt towards end of game to lose his mark and dish off to Razov. 2nd place GOATS!!! Someone please start a Goats USA @ Dyna-hoes thread...can't wait for that game. National humiliation for the dyna-biotches.

I was in the area so I bought a ticket on match day. (I was the guy in the Toronto FC shirt sat in the front row at the halfway line......)

Good crowd, what is it that the supporters shout when the goalie goes for a kick? sounded like "p u t a" or something similar.....?

 

poooto, it was. (interchangeable with "duroooo")

 

Did you just make that up? Thats not what we say or mean!

mikey99 was closer.
