Talk a little about Jason Thompson. Does he have a legit chance of playing one day. He is about 22 or 23 now right? I guess I'm curious because he went to the same high school that I did.
Great double dip, two-for 3rd. Sounds like Kreis will come in for Toni at some point. I don't want to read too much into the last paragraph, but don't really want to see Toni on the bench for too long either. Toni has a few make or break games coming up including LA on Saturday. He's close, but he needs to pull the trigger. We've seen the JK/EJ combination before. I know everything is different this year, but IMO Toni seems to be one of the big catalysts that infuses some of the energy into the team, especially it seems for EJ. In Kreis' MLSnet Q&A he speaks about dropping back to midfield when he to having a couple of good years left playing. With the defense holding strong, it might be interesting to see the chemistry with Kreis at mid with Toni and EJ at top just for a half or so to see what develops. It would though have to be at an opportune time. Simo will run up caution points sooner or later. Maybe then?
Hope things get better for him and his father. He has quietly done some good work for a good while now.
That is my guess. Toni tends to be subbed at 70 or 80 minute mark.. Eddie has been playing great and tends to go longer... so it is just my read that Kreis would come in for Nhleko and If/when Kreis starts it may be hard to take Eddie out as good as he has been.
