We were better than the score in the 2-1 loss to DC and not as good as the 5-0 win over Cincy.I decided to walk on the sunny side of the street but honestly I have the same sentiment as the article.
That said, let's get a W in the City of Brotherly Love (or Chester in reality) and gain some well deserved confidence.
I'm not sure this game will tell us much either. A loss Away to this Union team is not shameful, and a win will beWe were better than the score in the 2-1 loss to DC and not as good as the 5-0 win over Cincy.
The clip shows what the pass would have been, a pass going over the defender in front of Tinnerholm. I wonder if he's just not comfortable taking those types of chances or lacks confidence from those types of passes.![]()
Midweek Analyst: El Trafico's biggest burden, Young Player of the Week & how the 442 works | MLSSoccer.com
From a standings perspective, El Trafico has basically never been the biggest game of the weekend. The Galaxy have been so poor for so long that their rivalry with LAFC has been much more about spectacle than about the teams being particularly close in the table. That is, at leastwww.mlssoccer.com
doyle with a little writeup about sands at the bottom half of this article. he's picking on the weakest part of Sands's game, which is making progressive passes. The clip he includes to prove the point makes you wonder if he saw the pass and didn't take it, or if he just didn't see it. either way, these are the types of passes he needs to make from the D-mid position with regularity.
That being said, if Morales is going to have a larger role in our lineup as a starter, Sands may become a regular on the back line in order to get Parks on the field. Of course, if Parks continues his average to bad performances, he might just drop to the bench and a new midfield trio will be born!

as a CB, he is a plus passer and a good defender. As a DMid, he’s an OK passer and a good defender. Hope that makes sense.
I don't think he's less comfortable making progressive passes as a D-mid vs a CB. Haven't seen a difference there at all.yes but the question is WHY?
you would think he'd be taking more risk by attempting forward passing as the last man back. if he messes up that's it. as a d-mid, at least if he's blocked or picked off, he has two CBs behind him still. it's strange that he is more comfortable with the forward passes as a CB than a D-MID. i have a theory that it is simply that as a CB he has better vision of the field and doesn't get pressed as quickly as he does when playing d-mid. That bit of extra time and wider field view helps him make the progressive passes. If my theory is true, then what his D-mid game is missing is the ability to think 2 steps ahead and make that pass before he's closed down.
