Whew!!!! I had start a new thread.
Some very good points were raised in that thread. Karl and Stoni, I cannot understand your stances against Hue being in the team when he was our best player last friday. Stoni, you obviously want a team that plays defensive. However, that was never Tappa's plan for that Guatemala game. Our biggest downfall in that game was that there was nobody competent enough to finish Hue's passes. We controlled most of the game, especially in the second half, but we had too many headless chickens. I saw Hue making a reverse pass that left the Guatemalean defense completely flat-footed. A shot at goal should have completed that play. I think it was Shelton who received the pass and allowed the defense to recover.
Karl - The team is NOT creating numerous goal-scoring opportunities as you believe. Again, just like me, we get to see Hue play when he's selected for the national team...and gets game. To date, I have not seen him have a bad game. Your idea of him not having the speed of thought to make passes is completely ludicrous. When you have idiots standing on the bylines waiting for passes before they start running, who is he going to pass to? We do not need Hue to be running up and down the field defending when he is the main creator of scoring opportunities. That is just a tactical move that should be addressed by the coach. Hue, next to workhorses like Morrison and Austin will make us a formidable team.
Luton Shelton must not start as a striker. Our attacking play has become very predictable over the past year and the opposing teams have made their necessary adjustments to counter our speed. We have not scored a goal from open play in how long now? There are no crosses coming from our wings that put a short team like Guatemala under pressure.
Sass you are on form with your arguments. Our LB position must be filled as that's where our weakness is in our defense. Jermain Taylor is not a natural LB.
