Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4700670, member: 405"] I missed the early part of the game, but will watch later on tape delay (thank you, DVR). Of what I saw, I thought that obviously Ferreira is stating his case. And he's not just banging in goals, he's combining with people really well, and he comes back to find the ball and be involved in play. Happy to see Vazquez get another goal, after fluffing that one chance when he came in. Midfield, it didn't seem like Djordje M. had anywhere near the same impact this game. Alex Zendejas seemed to be getting involved, but committed quite a few fouls. I think he might have had an assist. Gianluca Busio with another very solid game. He's very smooth with the ball. I thought Sands had another good game as the holding midfielder. Broke up play pretty well, circulated the ball well when I saw. Bryan Reynolds is a unique proposition at RB. Big guy, holds the ball well under pressure, nifty feet, and can make a measured pass to somebody in the box. Not all nervous and hurried. Very nice player with a big future. I thought Yedlin was fine in relief again. Solid and dependable. I really like what I am seeing from DeJuan Jones. Looking to me like he is solidifying his spot as Robinson's back up. He made some nice passes tonight, too. He knows where to look for the opportunity. He doesn't play overly conservative and always play it back to the center backs. Turner with a couple nice saves. Miazga was out of position once or twice. They are still nursing Miles Robinson back to health for the knock out rounds, and now have a week until the next game. Neal with another pretty good game at the back. Lots of guys stepping up. Twelve goals means that a LOT of guys have contributed, and feel like they are truly part of the team. Having a whole week of recovery and then training means a lot of time to teach new guys more aspects of our tactical approach. This will really help their chemistry, too. I expect a very good effort next Sunday against our opponent (still TBD, I understand). I expect us to look even more cohesive than we looked tonight, which was really quite good. [/QUOTE]
