Too easy on that play just stood there watched Bradley try a move then Fred just touched it to himself, great play there.
They probably only need about a point a game. If they don't get that ... well, it'd be a colossal flop.
Someone with more tactical acumen, please correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems like Michael Bradley has become a luxury player, who can work well if surrounded by the right pieces, but without those pieces he just seems almost lost... He doesn't control the midfield defensively, he definitely doesn't do enough going forward, and TFC just don't see to have anyone to pair him with who lets him play that in between role... Seems like a similar problem with his play at the World Cup and his interplay with Jones, they both wanted to do the same thing, and Bradley just ended up looking lost..
about a month ago I estimated 1.3 PPG would get you in for an Eastern team. It's looking about right so far. Toronto would fall below that if they lose their next two.
If this result holds, NE would be 6 points back of SKC with a game in hand. The Revs next two game are both at home against Chicago and Montreal. SKC...............objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear!!!
I haven't been as high on the greatness of Bradley as others. But even I have to think something is physically wrong with him. He quite simply looks like an average player in MLS right now. And his career says he is better than that.
Perhaps Bradley is simply exhausted. Dempsey recently admitted to suffering from fatigue. Maybe this is common to those who played in Brazil.
How is that a yellow for Rowe? Zusi should have been on a yellow earlier for his petulant actions when he was upset after that offside call. I don't think Rowe earned a yellow there at all.
Man it's fun to see Nguyen take his first touch when he's on. And he's on. The last twenty minutes (which I've watched) have been super sloppy.
Oh SKC.................. 3-1................NGuyen!!! Leading USMNT-eligible goal-scorer in MLS now with Zardes.
SKC deserved to be scored on again. Zusi probably could have been sent off for two yellows. But can't really say that as if he had the first he likely doesn't shove Rowe like that.
