Pregame: Houston vs. RSL (Sat. 4/22/06)

You guys sing during your circle jerks too? Wow! That's impressive. That must be quite the event for you guys.

 

Oh, everybody shut up.

I can't decide what is more pathetic--the fact that some people care so much about GOTW, or the fact that some people care so much about GOTW.

 

Shouldn’t you be spreading your idiotic posts on the KC boards this week?

 

We don't own them like we do you.

 

Yeah, that 3-0 loss in Salt Lake, pure ownage.

Go home. Are you too good for your home?

 

Even a blind squirrel.......

 

Can score on Dallas off a set piece.

 

well, i have run out of neg rep for texgator. oooooo neg rep....


leave you bastard, go troll another board. its getting annoying.

 

Based off what I saw last weekend, I have more faith in Talley on a 3-man line than Brown or Akwari. Yes, I realize this is all relative.

 

The Million Dollar Question!

 

Houston is almost a different team without DeRo.

 

I hope we don't reach the point in the season this early when we start calling for rookies and guys who couldn't make the bench earlier in the season (for whatever reason) to come in and be our saviours.

I'm not calling SoccerPrime or anybody else out, and I think we can all argue that one of the bigggest quetsions facing RSL is whether or not we should make a few changes where most feel they need to be made or continue and try and build some continuity with a line-up for once. But I do hope we don't get to that point where we start dreaming about the grass being greener on the reserve side of the roster. A little deja vu there when I'm already worried about the feeling that I've seen all this somewhere before.

 

Brown stinks.

 

Ellinger.... June?!?!?

God lets hope not.

 

This just, again, brings up the question of what is Cabrera doing (or not doing) that's keeping him off the field? And why are we hanging onto him if he's not worth playing?

 

I agree with this, and, as I've said before, I think it is time to make a change in the back. I said earlier I'd be fine with Cabrerra starting. I'd have suggested Akwari myself, but it seems he didn't come out of Saturday too well, so again, I'd be fine with Cabrerra, although I was not impressed with what I saw last year.

My post wasn't mean to come out and disagree with SoccerPrime, it just made me think that I hope we don't get into that whole unknown savior thing this early. Some younger guys will probably be called upon when Pope and DS are gone, but I don't think Forko is going to deliver results right now. Of course nobody is doing this, but I don't want to get into a situation where we start calling on guys like Noah Palmer to deliver results. Breaking them in and giving a younger guy a few minutes here or there is fine so they're more likely to be called upon when ready, but I don't think we'll find many answers if we look to reserves for results. Kind of a catch-22.

 

Two indisputable facts learned from last season:

1. A different lineup for every game does nothing to promote team chemistry or the development of young talent.

2. Parading scores of journeymen and washed-up players through to patch perceived "holes" in the roster will also avail us nothing.

That said, the pre-season and 3 regular season matches should be enough for any manager whose head is NOT fully inserted into his rear cavity to discern that Chris Brown should not play right back for anyone but his county rec league. (or that run-on sentences indicate poor mastery of the English language. "D".)
