I'm envious of those of you who went up to Foxboro. I had a late day work engagement that got canceled at the last minute. Additionally, I booked a trip home in the South for the next two weekends when we couldn't buy a goal a couple months ago. D'oh!
I've been a Ronny hater (hence my booked trip), but he got it right last night. I was impressed by how we managed to control the game and frustrate Buchanan and the other Revs players. I thought at times we gave Gil a little too much space, but we didn't get burned. Santi was quite good last night. Gray has come a long way, and I'm very proud of him. Taty wasn't much of a threat for a good part of the match, but he was able to strike when needed. Just wish he hadn't had that bonehead tackle at the end. Also, can we celebrate the fact that we just beat the best team in the league with Tony Rocha out there for a significant stretch of minutes? Malte was also good out there, and Gudi lulled them to sleep before making that dagger pass to Taty for the second goal.
Very impressed with how we took penalties. I had my shirt over my head for Maxi's penalty.
If we can play like that, we can beat Philly without Taty. It's gonna come down to Medina and Isi showing up. I don't see Héber making too much of an impact if any. He's just not back up to fitness.
I hope the club does a few things to make it easy for folks to get down to Chester. Have fun. I'll be watching from many miles away.
