Interesting. Change of formation, Flores to the bench, and the response appears to be a more uptempo style of play with the same finishing troubles. But this looks more like Losada ball than anything we’ve seen so far this year.
Durkin works. Maybe that’s our plan with all these utes. Send them overseas to finish their training and bring them back better than ever. Harkesy back next? Yow and Nyeman out?
Djeffal has played well, but is in a little over his head at the top of the central midfield triangle. Took too many fouls and got booked as a result. Canouse’s booking is just a dumb play. That doesn’t get called anywhere near enough, but interfering with a goalkeeper’s distribution is supposed to be an automatic booking. It’s a physical, uptempo, competitive game. If either team could finish, it’d be really interesting. As is, I wouldn’t bet against a scoreless draw.
The final pass, play, shot isn't there. Kamara is not the hold up guy. Robertha isn't combing well with him. One of those guys needs to come off for Estrada.
