Here's hoping Boskovic helps with that.<br /><br />And defense is a team effort. For most every incidence of Jakovic and James's heroics you can point to a blown clearance, failure to pressure a passer/runner, or poor shape/positioning. Sure they deserve kudos for their efforts (and I really should have mentioned James's performance), but they're being called on far too often.<br /><br /><i>Dancy said...

On such a hot humid day when you are planning on introducing your two new signings why start Jaime when you know he can't play 90? I get that he was going to be removed for Hernandez, but what happens if there are injuries or cramps early? Plus Jaime is probably the 5th best forward on the roster presently. He just doesn't have it anymore.Dancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-53911844033378884292010-07-17T01:37:58.042-04:002010-07-17T01:37:58.042-04:00Actually, I think Pontius and James deserve a shou...Actually, I think Pontius and James deserve a shout out. I totally think Pontius would be thriving statistically at another club right now, he has many positive qualities. And how many times did James take the ball from Montero or snuff out a threatening situation? I lost count. He's really coming into his own. We need to find a goal scorer, that's for sure, cuz we can't act like the defense is our main issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-45200787263486813932010-07-16T17:15:14.955-04:002010-07-16T17:15:14.955-04:00Kasper-Payne must go.Kasper-Payne must go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636252400013702060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-81860865556181106742010-07-16T13:46:29.219-04:002010-07-16T13:46:29.219-04:00Amen about Quaranta.
