I have to listen to the game in spanish on the radio. Can someone please tell me what the lineup and positions for the metrostars is/was?
Based on MLSNET.com, the Metros are playing: Howard Pope Jolley DiGiamarino Leitch Williams Clark Mathis Guevara Magee Moreno I'm not sure where they are all lined up, but those are the starting 11.
They're lined up Magee Moreno Mathis Guevara Williams Clark DiGi Jolley Pope Leitch I didn't catch why Leitch is in Ziadie's spot. The midfield kind of looks like the box the US sometimes plays. Williams is playing as a sort of d-mid with Rico Clark as more of a holding mid. Guevara looks fantastic, especially for only having played with the team once. He's been very very dangerous on the dribble.
Some thoughts on tonight's game: Guervera's the best Si we have ever had including Diadoni. He attacked so dangerously withthe dribble I could not believe it. Clint used to be like this at one time. Digi is great at left Back overlapping into the play. Much better than at mid. Leitch: Why is he playing?? he sucks. should have kept Ziadie and we would have had our best 11 out there at one time. Bad passes and can't control the ball on traps. Howard> great once again. Jolley steady as a rock and better than Petke ever was. RW: Great game once again as is controlling nicely. Clark:; will be ROY. Best verticle leap of any MLS playter. the complete midfielder Mathis: out opf shape, no explosiveness and sloppy with ball and passes tonight. No hustle and is a real whiner Moreno: other than the PK looks slow and old. Mathis and Morteno could not beat or even try to beat the bigger/slower LA fullbacks who play like linebackers and similar in size Pope: the true defensive stalwart/ballhawk tonight Magee: Looked overmatched in the air all night.
Metrosuccess I agree with many of your observations. Take a look at this thread for my point of view: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=45024 Howard: A- Leitch: D- to F Pope and Jolley: A- Digi: A- love his vertical game Williams: A Clark: A Guevara: A Mathis and Moreno: C to C- Magee: D- Wish we had a true stricker and not three or four creative players up front.
