I think we win that game 2-1 with 11 men and two Villa penalties at home. The officiating did us no favors.
Hernandez was terrible. Shockingly poor. I have to hope that Mena can come in and start for us.
Angelino was very strong in the first half but clearly has some conditioning work to do - wore down in a big way as the game went on.
As usual, I saw a few things I liked out of Mullins, but he's not starting quality yet. Ditto for Tommy Mac, although he's closer, IMO.
After being cornered into watching the Boston feed for that game, those announcers had my blood pressure soaring. There's your normal biased announcing, and then there's what I heard tonight.
New England is the MLS 1.0 dream. A relatively cheap and athletic team housed in a football stadium that hits you on the break with just enough technical skill to beat you on the dribble. They're honestly not a great team this year, but they've got quite a few guys who would play major minutes for us right now.
As much as we need Pirlo and #8, I think we need George John more.
Edit: Ditto to the turf comments. That had a serious, serious impact on that game. It's not a wonder they don't lose at home that often - they're built to play on that shitty field.
