I liked how our "attacking look" worked against an opponent who decided to put no pressure on us at all. Curious if the same setup will get run out vs. Costa Rica.
In fact, he did nail the pass. A thing of beauty. Unfortunately, J Lew botched it with his first touch (in his defense not an easy touch given the speed of the ball).
It was good to see some Young Americans from NYCFC feature in the game and play well. As I reflected on things, we could have had two more if Keaton Parks and J.P. Torres had been in the fold a little sooner.
Though I'm glad Johnson made an appearance last night, I was hoping he would get the start against Costa Rica and I'm concerned this means Steffen will start 2x and Johnson sub for 20 minutes or so again.
I just thought it was awesome that SJ tried to spring him almost the first chance he got, it was a very impressive pinpoint pass from SJ. Lewis just slightly mishandled it and missed out on the break but he kept possession.
Lewis forced a nice turn over almost immediately but then looked a bit nervous/jittery early on. He struggled with the SJ ball, he had one cut move where he put the ball over the end line with a heavy touch (actually a very similar move to the one he got right later on the assist), and he got burned when lunged at the ball deep in our corner on defense. But after some early gitters he really started to settle in and show what he can do. By the end I thought it was a very encouraging appearance. He looks to be in good form and ready to contribute, all good signs for us this season because we need him as others have said hopefully he gets the chance to show what he can do.
They scored about a minute after Lewis came in.
Shocking.... the team scores after Lewis comes on. Waiting for the naysayers to again find a flaw with his assist.
Seems like Lewis is considered 3rd in terms of risen stock from camp cupcake. Looks like people here aren't the only idiots who like what his simple and basic passes that lead to goals bring to the table.
Nah. It's his "attitude" remember...
How about that Tim Weah? So far with Celtic, he has 3 goals and an assist in 142 minutes. And he scored twice in 75 minutes for PSG.
He may be too good for the Scottish league. Great place to solidify his confidence.
If you see any interviews with him you can tell he is a smart dude. He knows EXACTLY what to say to endear himself to the Celtic fans -- and he genuinely looks so freaking excited to be contributing.
