The goals were really 1 person's fault..... BORNSTEIN he alone damn near gave up 3!!! The PK, the uncalled hand ball, and the deflection. I have no idea what Bradley sees in him, at BEST he's a sub or a bench warmer our D is too deep to have him start. Our staring back line should be: Spector/Cherundolo on the left, Gooch and DeMerit in the middle and Bocanegra on the right and late in the match you can sub in either Spector/Dolo whichever one didn't start.
Beasley played a little hectic at first but he was our best player in the second half he really did well. Torres played pretty well, Edu was very good, and DeMerit looked like a champ out there, good hard nosed player. And we didn't get carded (besides Torres who was immediately subbed) we still got calls against us but we have to learn. I will say one of the better plays I saw was Bedoya drawing a foul right outside the box, he played great.
Jozy's backheel move was awesome, very creative play from him and if he can add that to his arsenal and if he can just get a better first touch more often then he's the most dangerous player we have. He had a great crack at goal too, unluckily the Dutch goalie was in the way.
If we can't get the ball to Donovan on the wing then he HAS to play CAM because he's too big of our attack to just vanish from play.
There are two things we need to work on....
#1 When we clear the ball we can't just kick the hell out of it and hope for the best, we create chances when we PASS (as in aim and kick it to our teammates) out of our end.
#2 Strikers...Findley and Johnson have HORRIBLE first touch/play on the ball. Findley is trying but EJ is just lost out there right now. Casey is worthless and Ching is sooo average. We need good first touch and creative play on the ball ergo I make my case (again) for Kenny Cooper and Freddy Adu! Both players have good first touch, both are creative and control possesion when they have the ball, both can finish, and Adu has played striker with Jozy with HUGE success before. Although I also hope Davies is coming back.
