Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3952897, member: 405"] Part of this is whether we want to boot it long or play from the back. Matt Turner, who had a fine game stopping shots, and with his throws, doesn't communicate that well with the guys in back yet. If the midfielders come back for link-up play, you can't just spontaneously kick it long, like he did too many times, because the midfielders are not upfield to get the second ball. They can't panic at being pressed by Honduras. It is on the road. Maybe we need to balance our midfield a bit better so that our midfielders are a bit more spread out, to create more options to advance the ball - close, midrange, and long ball. [/QUOTE]
