Andrew Jacobson [Midfielder]
- Thread starter einwindir
- Start date
I wonder if he could have played CB for us if he stayed.
He did for some games in preseason but he went forward a lot.
That was always his problem :/. Maybe Bravo can play CB for us like in preseason?
Link? Reasoning?
www.ballislife.com keyword: wack.
he was the most below avergage, mediocre on a good day defensive midfielder i've ever seen in my long lasting years of life.
he squandered possession more than any other player (except maybe khiry)
he contributed less than nothing to our attack, each and every time we/he had the ball.
(let me guess "hes a cdm he doesnt need to contribute to the attack") if thats your rationale, dont bother reading the rest of this post.
defensively, he was ok at best. still not good enough to even be considered a sub... if being ok, (not even good) defensively is a reason to start someone, then idk what to tell you, rethink your priorities.
all the games he didnt play, our attack looked like they had an idea of whats going on... why im explaining this a year later, i have no idea. this guy isnt a soccer player. he couldnt make it anywhere else. he tried at stabaek and lorient and never saw the field.
This.
i literally had nothing better to doThis.

Jacobson with a goal similar to the one he scored for us last year versus Columbus funny enough, but closer to the box

That's a beautiful strike.
Surprising, he’s only 32, and was up to being a starter for most of last year. Always appreciated the way he played for us.
Good for Andrew. They just had a second child (or are about to), so he’s probably ready to be home with the kids and wife.
I don’t believe he’s earned enough over his career to just retire and stay home. But maybe a job with less travel could be in his future. Or maybe his wife brings home the bacon (kosher bacon of course for a nice Jewish boy like Andrew).
I had the same thought on giving up his earning potential, but he did grow up in Palo Alto, so (complete speculation) he may come from some level of wealth that's allowing him to do this.
