I'm in there now. But I'm finishing the US game before switching over to the DC game. I'll watch the recorded first half after the game.
Even though I hate you guys, I applaud La Barra Brava for the banner in support of London. My applause for your sign of class.
Freddy is playing like a Grown Ass Man. This has to be one of his best games in a United kit (especially since the last great one was versus Columbus). The only question is, can you infer that he is playing so well because Moreno is out? In all seriousness, United is playing an incredibly complete game for not having Moreno, Olsen, Quaranta out as well as the long term injuries of Guppy and Namoff. Good first half and if United can turn up the pressure a little they can win by a couple.
Thanks cherno for reminding me about Walker. His play has been stellar. I think that he's starting to get some confidence and that's just what United needs to cultivate quality depth for their front line. Hopefully he can figure out how to use his speed a little bit more effectively in the second half, and knowing that Nana can come on to provide a spark, this team can put a ton of speed out there.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Freddy and Christian interchange a little more in their roles. Right now Gros and Dema are doing a great job making runs forward when Adu comes back to midfield to receive passes (and by doing so keeping the team out of a 3-6-1) but with Conrad out I think it'd be good to see more interchanging throughout the middle because Garcia hasn't done much in the way of organization. Adu's distribution has been magnificent and his running at players when he is on the wings has been superb. Hopefully this solid play continues and keep in mind, Oshyoni should have the sun right in his eyes for at least the beginning of the half. Shoot!
