But Lewis against Red Bulls created something Off the press where he won the ball and went directly down the throat of Red Bulls and he should have been awarded a penalty. I think we haven't seen enough of Lewis to say his defending is poor it takes time for a young player to learn to defend better from the front especially when coming from college where he probably didn't defend much.
I put that on Sweat's ass. Couldn't squeeze his cheeks enough to keep that golden horseshoe up there.
Sadly, I think Lewis is our Jack replacement year after next.
That’s fair. I guess I left out the fullbacks in my previous post. I should have stated our preferred starting front 6
It's kinda hard to dish on White - his side was locked down pretty darn well during the match. The goal came off a crazy turnover/foul shy of midfield on the left and a corner kick.
I said it before the Crew match, I'm more comfortable with White at LB. Nothing against Struna, but it's just so hard to integrate a late season signing into the XI. White is solid, healthy and better integrated into our system.
If Iraola doesn't retire and reasonably replicates his 2016, we probably end anywhere from 6 to 12 points better in my estimation.
It's funny to look at that and remember our offseason, and there were regular heart palpitations because the club wasn't making any player moves.
I thought about this also. I think I need another game or two for confirmation.
Yeah his offensive decision making is just so much slicker than Sweat's. I would even say his defense in tight spaces is far superior. His lapses may just be more visible.
