I wonder if the rest of MLS will realize we invite the press by building out of the back in order to tire their attackers out. Philly had absolutely no attack in the second half.
That was a battle of two teams that like to possess the ball, and we did it better. Fun to watch.
Hopefully that's Shelton's last time for a while, time to give camargo a chance.
I like Ethan white, he's hard working, American, seems like a cool guy, but I can't see how they did not bring more competition for that spot.
Last year, pirlo looked weak in the beginning of the year, but something made him turn it on and start running after a few games. He was tackling all over the place and actually running slightly faster. He hasn't done that yet this year, and it's killing me. They are making him out of the game and he's making no attempt to get free. That's why maxi and ring are coming back to receive the ball. He's just pointless out there, and I'm afraid all the national articles about pirlo being done, and questions Vieiras getting will just make him more stubborn and refuse to sit him occasionally. Too bad, because Herrera is very talented and is fun to watch.
Johnson hasn't had to do anything totally amazing, but just having a competent keeper back there is such a huge difference from saunders, it's amazing.
Matarrita with the studly pass for the first goal, I think he's such a good player, gets too much criticism here for defense.
Wallace might need a break.
Would kind of like to hear Ray Hudson's call on that one. I certainty don't have the words to describe. Damn we're lucky to be able to watch Villa week in and week out aren't we ?
