defensively, i think we could be better too. I just don't have any trust in Martins. Haak is proving to be a decent CB, but he's no where near top MLS CB yet and it will take time for him to get there. As a pair, they are ok but not what we need to be a cup winning team. I think our right side is pretty solid as both ilenic and gray are solid options. left side is not as good but not terrible either.
If shore were about 20lbs bulkier, i'd be a great destroyer. haha. we need that physicality in the midfield to protect the backline.
