The play leading up to the PK was gorgeous.

In this installment of deriving optimism from short clips of meaningless preseason matches. That was much better link-up play from Julian than we saw at the end of last season. He did those little one-two passes when he first arrived but by the end of last season, he consistently just put his head down and tried to dribble his way through the defense. Hopefully, his confidence is back and we will continue to see more link-up play from him.

In my opinion this is one of the reasons we really need to give credit to the MLS offseason period - no games for 2-4 months (depending on the team) really gives players a chance to reset, recharge, refresh. That plus the new coaching ideas I'm sure will make a difference. I think we're going to see better play.

Tat has probably nothing to do with this specific sequence, but from the other training photos I can just feel a difference from the end of last season. Is it just me?

Is 38 Carrizo?

Tackle was pretty clean.

Tackle was pretty clean.

yea. hard to tell from the camera angle, but looked like he definitely got ball to me. the only question is whether or not he had to go through the legs first.

all good though. and i don't think that is maximo. maximo usually wears 29.

according to club website (and if preseason numbers are consistent) that is drew baiera (a defender).

I thought the best case for a penalty was above the waist, but still not enough IMO. I'll take it, and who cares now anyway.

Number 38 is Drew Baiera who seems to be a right back.

The penalty was questionable. The important point to me is that he stopped considering the player behind him. Hopefully that's a coaching opportunity.
