Greatest American Zero

May 4, 2012

The biggest bummer is the Greatest American Zero scored two goals. Those who are laughing are old, like me. Those not laughing, Google it.  I wish I could take credit for that but I robbed it from someone on twitter. If your out there, show yourself!

The back line was a mess. Benny made a mistake putting Kitchen at center back. Although it was gutsy to put Najar in as an outside back. If Russell, Bmac, Dudar and Najar were the back line, they could attack as a 3-5-2, and defend as a 4-4-2. Easier said then done I know, but I can dream right?

The attack was desperate. Too quick, too forced. Cruz and Dero were sprinting straight into defenders, then falling on their faces and losing the ball.

Despite mistakes and goals and mayhem… United had moments, created changes. A tough night and a tough loss, but not the end of the world.

  • Dudar… heal up… quick, do you have any Argentinean or Swedish center back buddies?
  • Perry get back to center mid where someone can protect you. Go get the ball! Just do it with someone behind you.
  • Danny, yes we all appreciate your enthusiasm, but now it’s time to take a deep breath and stop falling down all the time.
  • Andy, you can have your job back if you promise to be enjoyable to watch and get your swagger back, chin up kid.
  • Nick, play nice with Andy and thanks for bagging the corn-rows.
  • Daniel, thank you sir, you deserve a raise.
  • Bmac, keep talking and don’t get ejected. I get the feeling your a fun guy to have around the dressing room.
  • Robbie, find the center back in your soul and embrace it. Be the center back.
  • Korb, pull your socks up.
  • Pontius, did you do neck thickening exercises while you were out with the busted leg? I swear you look way more stout then you did last year.
  • Maicon, listen to Benny because I know he’s telling you that you ARE this good… Keep taking those shots, it’s OK if some of them are wayward. The job is yours to keep if you do the work and keep hold of the temper.
  • Salihi, the monkey is off your back. Now how do you break the starting line up?
  • Dero, two games, two attempted bicycles. Go three for three, one of them is bound to go in.
  • Branko, I hate to say it but, $500,000 goes a long way toward shoring up the back line in the summer transfer window.

Toronto is desperate… heads up.

VAMOS BOYEZ!
