AkronZip54321 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Love this Akron lineup! Brenes for Balogun, Stevenson in there, and the back 4 that I think is the one we need to stick with and let develop. Barrett needs to play well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out Schmidt and Portillos, and put in Zakuani and Nagbe.Ha that's funny, me and my buddy were joking that without Darren, we don't have a big center forward and that we need to put in Teal. I said "he's a big guy, holds the ball up well, and has a handful of MLS goals this season, he's just what we need" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 For seventy minutes the Zips staggered around like drunken sailors. Cal Poly beat up on uslike we were orphan rag dolls. It was not pretty. But, keep the faith. Something clicked andthe Zips took control of the game for the final twenty minutes. They looked likethe oh-nine and ten teams.Akron dominated play the final twenty minutes. They were the aggressors and were on attack.The Cal Poly player got beat in the box and fouled. I do not think it was intentional. He gota yellow card. Probably for running his mouth and not the trip.IMO the Cal Poly player simply panicked as the Zip player went past him driving the ball on goal.He was actually one of Cal Poly's cleaner players. Several of the Cal Poly players were asdirty a hack as we have seen in a number of seasons. The book on the young Zips must be to bust us hard.The Zips played through the fouls and turned the victory. A darn sweet one at that.

bobbyake Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Here's a man that does not stick to his game plan when it's not working and adapts early because it's necessary to make changes to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
