a few opening thoughts... not looking good in terms of the crowd. hopefully a lot of late comers? washington gets the start. thats an intruiging move. bringing on a fresh buddle or jeffro at the 50 or 60 minute mark might not be a bad idea. wingert on the right and dude on the left, to mark ralston.
so its... busch marshall - fraser - oughton wingert - paule - elliott - sanneh - hejduk wash - martino so far though 8 minutes weve controlled the play, had no real threatening attacks, and just conceded a corner.
New England came out of the locker room hacking, just like last time. We're playing like **************, just like last time. Some fat old woman was awarded the Supporter's SHield before the game. Disgusting. THe Crew just hates their real fans and is determined to prove it. McCullers is just another douchebag. Crew taking a beating, not fighting back. I need a drink.
i dont like the way we are playing, at all. we seem too hurried. were not taking time. were running straight at the defenders, although they are kinda bunkered. thier defenders are rocks right now, cause our guys are exhibiting the dribbling skills of a quadriplegic.
great ball over the top from oughton (!!!!) to sanneh, who needed to just pick a corner, or head it down for the on-running washington... he ends up lobbing it to reis. wonderful.
dante seems to be having quite a bit of trouble holding the ball against thier defenders. and martino is dropping back. great.
Our offense: Dante Washington, a guy who has not been with the team in two years starts at one forward Kyle Martino, a center mid playing the other forward Tony Sanneh, a fullback playing as a center mid Chris Wingert, who played all season on the left, is playing the right wing Frankie Hejduk, who played all season on the right, is playing the left wing. Greg ANdrulis is a bloody genius.
busch with a big save on dempsy after twellmen had marshall beaten, badly. this all after martino is shown up by joseph. it is appearing as if we cannot beat thier defenders one on one for the life of us. and i actually agree with waldo. i dont like the way weve started the match and i dont like how we are playing. at all.
