Nemec does well holding up play and getting the 50-50 balls

This and he should be beast on set pieces. Is there any way we can (realistically) have a starting XI with both Nemec and Khiry?

With Khiry out wide in midfield which I don't think would work the greatest. I don't think we should try and force Villa, Khiry, and Nemec all into one line up.

I understand what you are saying, and hopefully we can find the best partner for Villa up-top; at the same time, the best "when it counts" offense the team has shown to date has been when Villa, Khiry and Nemec were on the field at the same time so I wouldn't 100% rule it at out, at least not for now.

Yeah true! I just don't think its the best for the team or for Khirys development to be out out wide. Although I probably could get used to the 4-3-3.
 
What about Tony Taylor on wing? If Kreis wants Nemec up top with Villa, I think Taylor could do some damage with his skills and speed on the wing

Did he even suit up last Sunday? He had a great game in the friendly vs St. Mirren but has disappeared since.

Nope. He wasn't on the team sheet. Not sure what's going on..

Damn, I hope they're giving those out at the stadium Sunday. Rather have that poster than a rally towel.
 
The Revs really do act like the Pats (not that I blame them). “We’re going to play a little differently with different personnel.”

This article reveals nothing except that Heaps is coy about whether Lee Nguyen actually plays this weekend. They are leaving open the possibility that he will not but I'm guessing that Nguyen plays.

If we see Nguyen I don't think it will be for more than 15-20 mins to give the groin a little run out. Thats an injury you don't want to rush back from. Without Soares, Jones and Nguyen this team is missing the spine from its conference championship team last year. This is a great week to be playing the Revs.
 
The Revs game is doable. The Rapids next week are also beatable. I can't help think that had we beaten Orlando, there was a good possibility that we could have been 3-0 next week.

Didn't Taylor pick up a injury in Charleston? Maybe not 100% yet.

Taylor has not been listed on any injury reports.

The boys need to get three points on Sunday; (as you know) New England has two top players out altogether and one that is probably not at 100%. The team needs to take advantage of that before a crowd of over 40K.

Colorado away is always tricky due to the altitude.

There's a lot of parity in the league, however, so on any given game day, the outcome can hinge on a play here or there (just like against Orlando City).
