Also can someone tell me what game Lagerway was watching Wensday. His comments about Lazo having a good game were puzzling to me. I was there an Lazo played just a poorly as he did today.
The field was in atrocious condition today after the Jets vs. Giants game last night and many players had problems adjusting to the poor field conditions. None more so that Lazo. He never put enough pace on any of his passes and every one seemed to result in a turnover or a hospital ball.
I was puzzled by the Lagerway comments too, but didn't he play in Miami? So maybe they are friends from there and he's trying to stick up for his buddy. The way he kept giving the ball away with every touch was pathetic. If RH keeps him around after this season he deserves to be fired on the spot.
The key to stopping Lazo is to simply step in front of him b/c the man only runs in a straight line. Four times I counted him take off through a wide open midfield and run straight into a Metros defender. Guy didn't have to move to steal the ball - Lazo ran dead into him. He is like an under-8 kid who looks down while dribbling and just runs into people. Pathetic!
Well, it is sad that Lazo is the only player that we have (except occasionally Reyes) who will attack players on the dribble. It is sad because Lazo never gets by them when he attacks on the dribble. But, at least he tries. He was also the only one willing to try a shot from the top of the box. He missed. But, he tried. When our dangerman is not dangerous, it is a problem.
Lazo was our leader in shots yesterday with 2. 2 shots led the team?!?!?! He may be crap, but he was at least willing to try to make an impact on this game.
We are last in MLS in goals and shots. You don't need a geometry theorem to tell where things have gone wrong.
Lazo is the WORST player to ever get any playing time in a D.C. United uniform. My question is: why does Hudson keep playing him? Lazo trots around the field all the time, has no pace, no drive, no desire. It's incredible to me that he's still on the team. Namoff is better than him. Namoff should have been here taking Lazo's minutes.
