However, he's got to be better, right? Better than. "Well, quiet honestly, I don't know what's going wrong. We try to work on stuff, and we will continue to work on (insert low point of particular match.) Injuries haven't helped." Just glad I don't have to hear another timid hack (Soehn, Onalfo) look like they are caged rodents. Benny does well when backed into a corner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-83380756044146022582010-08-04T23:27:27.624-04:002010-08-04T23:27:27.624-04:00I don't know that winning the USOC helps the t...I don't know that winning the USOC helps the team either. It will, however, make ME feel better.<br /><br />No argument about wallpaper. Realism? I dunno. Stranger things have happened. They're in the semis and they've got a home game against a Columbus team that likely cares more about its MLS standing than about the Cup.<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just deranged with joy over the sacking of a coach who shouldn't have been hired. If that makes me a bad person, I can live with it.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-44732884877317367842010-08-04T23:14:09.792-04:002010-08-04T23:14:09.792-04:00I don't know that winning the US Open Cup help...I don't know that winning the US Open Cup helps the team. I think it might paper over the glaring problems like it did in 2008. And really, KP and DK are quite happy to look at wall paper covering the 40 foot gap in their wall and say "everything is quite sturdy around here. Don't mind the wind."<br /><br />Of course, I want to win more silverware but realistically, winning anything (including a game) this season seems unlikely.Revelationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642602362844923834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-74393265760407985962010-08-04T17:41:23.226-04:002010-08-04T17:41:23.226-04:00You're almost absolutely right.

Sadly, the places where you're wrong are named Morsink and Cristman, the clues that the player personnel issue wasn't entirely the front office's fault. That compounds Onalfo's utter mediocrity as a professional soccer coach.<br /><br />Also: I have heard that Payne owns a piece of the team, and would be very difficult to Heimlich out of the FO.<br /><br />I think there are some useful horses there. Maybe Benny can pull out a USOC, figure out who needs to be carnage, and hand the team over to someone who hasn't been so thoroughly steeped in the DCU system that they feel compelled to return ceaselessly to the (glorious) past.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-17216785423628064072010-08-04T16:08:35.107-04:002010-08-04T16:08:35.107-04:00PR move failure.

How does a guy with a few months of assistant coaching on a very very bad team bring anything to the table other than heart? In most games, heart seems to be ok. The problem is that the team is relying on guys that are not good enough to fulfill the linchpin positions.Revelationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642602362844923834noreply@blogger.com
