Step back from the edge.
I'...Whoa there, RIGS. Step back from the edge.<br /><br />I'll agree that the team needs a major overhaul, but to claim that none of the current players are good enough is asinine. Just this year, we've added three players (Pontius, Wallace, Jakovic) that have all the makings of really good players. <br /><br />I get the spirit of your statement in that there is a lot of dead, old, and broken wood that needs to be cleared out, but to say the entire crew should be tossed out ignores the bits of quality that are there. As for picking up others' cast-offs? Every MLS team does that. Such is the nature of a league with a limited talent pool and limited salaries. <br /><br />Can't argue with the slow and predictable attack though. That has to change: from the players we acquire to the guys charged with acquiring them to the guy who puts out the team sheet and lays out the tactics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-7354399384741824982009-10-22T05:32:48.143-04:002009-10-22T05:32:48.143-04:00To be honest none of DC's players are good eno...To be honest none of DC's players are good enough. Simply mediocre at best. Since the 07 season mediocrity has plagued United. From players selection to personnel to the staff. DC won't be making it to the playoffs. If they do another early exit to Chicago or the Crew. Mentally DC is weak and fragile. No one really respects DC anymore. That's obvious when you see teams come here and simply shut down DC. The predictable and slow style which DC swear it works. What has happen to DC? Where's the Popes, the Diaz Arces, the Etcheverrys, the williams, the Agoos, the Morenos and the Arenas? Where's the DC the faught, where's the DC who never gave up. Now DC is a mere image of what DC was. One thing I've noticed about DC is their habit of acquiring other teams rejects. Vaughn, Ely Allen, Wicks, Cronin... Kind of silly if u ask me. Relocating will put DC out of their misery.RIGSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-52777402862390005632009-10-21T22:08:42.336-04:002009-10-21T22:08:42.336-04:00"It's hard not to feel a little pleased, ..."It's hard not to feel a little pleased, notwithstanding all the problems with our performance, unless you attempt to look at the game with too much objectivity:)"<br /><br />Screw objectivity!

Boyzzz found a totally new way to do it, though - instead of passing it straight to the opposing centerback, he'd just blast it out for a goalkick. From midfield. I love me some Boyzzz, but he had a pretty bad showing last night. That said, I've always liked him better as a hustle/speed forward - imagine the effort he puts in over Emilio up top.The AMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363317780940775796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-80949252210436360382009-10-21T00:45:26.370-04:002009-10-21T00:45:26.370-04:00Yay, yay, yay for Pontius.
