NLR – the D was good. They were able to make Moreno invisible, Schelotto a none factor (besides that one shot in the first half) and Gaven was completely stifled.

btw – I was really impressed with the size of Gaven – the kid has filled in a ton. Maybe we can bring him back in the fold next season.

Angel looked by far the best player on the pitch. In fact he often looked like the only player who could pass the ball to a teammate, as opposed to the MLS-wide practice of cheaply giving up possession on every kick. Too bad he didnt get a much deserved goal.

Id say our defense looked ok – except for very late in the game – but Im not sure if it was us or the Cows simply sucking.

Biggest surprise of all perhaps was how solid Echeverry looked. Aggressive and competent. However Angel was 100% on when he stated post game that we immediately need to figure out a consistent front court. I know Jozy was busted up but all last year there were similar issues there and this year we cant get away with that, IMO

Way to start out the season bullz, aggressive and accurate from the open!!!

And Dave – I have season tickets square mid pitch (actually about 5 rows behind Jenavoo!). So watching Leitch strip Schelotto, or simply drive Guille crazy, was an awesome thing man. He did great. As did Goldie.

Whoda thunk?!
