The one where DC cannot stop the steal.

from Five Takes On The Five Stripes Hosted by fivetakesonthefivestripes

1: Thiago looked very good for his first start. Apart from producing another GOW, there’s not much more he could e done to get a goal tonight. He was very involved in the attacking play. He was eager to take players on, won his duels, stole balls and played several good balls into Moreno and Josef and Jackson. I think he’s going to develop into a big chance creator for us. He’s acclimated to the team very quickly and we’re all the better for it. 2: Really happy that we’re getting more production out of our set piece opportunities as well as being able to defend them better. We’ve scored off a hand full now and we defended corner after corner tonight. Gressel out like 10 dead balls into the 18 and somehow DC didn’t convert on any of them. That’s impressive considering how often we have conceded from corners in the past. 3: Guzan was massive again tonight and Alan Franco was at times a liability. Alan has been very up and down. Considering he was initially a DP signing we really need him to be more consistent and steady than he has been. 4: I would like to see us be able to spring counter attacks quicker and more effectively. We can get an intiial ball out but then we hold up the play too often. We’re not a counter attacking team but we can do more with those opportunities. 5: I love to see Moreno on the dribble, just maybe at better times. Don’t get me wrong, when it comes off it’s beautiful watch, but there’s just a few instances when he should lay it off instead. That aside, he was very good once again and had the game winner! Considering how often we was kicked and hacked at, he had a great performance. He’s the new Barco in terms of being on the receiving end of fouls.
