I'm fine with playing Tuscon. Get some of the fringe trialists 45 minutes, and then full dress rehearsal for the second half. Give em a nice whooping as thanks for hosting the tournament

Love Fagundez roaming in that ACM role. Would like to see him be a bit more selfish when he finds space at the top of the box though.
I've been trying to figure out whether Rowe has regressed or has the team as a whole gotten better and he hasn't kept up??? I don't know. I think its more the latter. IMHO.
Teal beats 3 players, hits the crossbar, resulting quick corner is Diego -> Tierney -> Rowe headed goal. nice play.
Goals for Teal, Rowe and Okoli. Our finishing overall looked pretty poor, we could have had 6 or 7 goals. Defense looked pretty good. Caldwell, Diego, Agudelo and Teal all looked good, Daigo a little anonymous.
I had the same reaction. Like everyone else, I thought he was pretty uninvolved. This year I hope to see lots more of Fagundez and less of Rowe. That Fagundez-Agudelo combination worked pretty well in the past, especially when you're able to throw in Nguyen. Agudelo tonight gave us a reminder of what his skill on the ball can bring to the attack.
We just need to disparage other players during games. That Juan can't score; Lee couldn't make a goal if the goalie fell down!!

So Okoli and Davies are tied with two goals in the preseason. It'll be interesting to see what the season brings for Okoli. I definitely see him getting some minutes, with our lack of depth at striker.
For those who have been following closer than me - is Tristan Bowen hurt or not with the team? I didn't see him listed in Burud's list or on the revs' website.
I think Dorman may have to slap him around some first. The thing that concerns me a little is our overall lack of scoring. While we got 3 against FC Tucson, Seattle got 6. Yes I know we're missing people but still, our leading scorers are Davies and Okoli with 2 each. Im a little concerned that Juan got a big zero in three games and Okoli will most likely see spot minutes unless somebody gets hurt. That is not exactly a scoring machine we have right now.
