RootforRoo44 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yedlin was one of the few Zips that looked good tonight, other than that they looked very timid and somewhat sloppy. Obviously the weather was to blame for the sloppiness but there's no excuse to keep dribbling around all of creation without taking a few more shots. Porter was screaming at his players late in the game and wasn't happy afterward as he talked (and was very animated/angry) with them at midfield for 15 min following the match. Really, there was no reason the final score shouldn't have been at least 5-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal was all his, kicking it out front to himself and outrunning everyone. He should have had an assist, too, if the ball would have been played properly into the OPEN net. Numerous good defensive plays and good ball placement into the box several times. Great defensive and offensive performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yazan07 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 AND, from the picture on the game article from gozips.com, D.A. is wearing the armband. Is that something new? That's not a captain's armband, that's from last season, it was the game where they all wore armbands in tribute to the passing of someone, I don't remember who. They have been passing an armband around though. Captains in the first game were Barson, Caldwell, Gallego, and in the second game were Barson, Caldwell, Trapp. Wasn't there tonight, was someone else a captain?

fknbuflobo Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 What did the lineup look like without the guys who were in U-20 camp? I was pleasantly surprised in how well Kayvon Afsarifard #22 played at CB, filling in for Gallego #4. Afsarifard #22 was smart, calm, and good in the air. He was also a willing and accurate passer. Brenes #7 is proving that he is our primary utility player, playing respectably at LB. He evidently can play anywhere except GK. An intriguing prospect is 6’2” freshman forward Saad Abdul-Salaan #25, who is not even listed on the official website roster. The handout roster says he is from Gahanna, Lincoln HS, (same as Trapp). He played LW the entire match with mixed results. Half the time he looked like he might score; the other half he looked lost. He is fast in the straight away because of his long legs, and he will shoot with either foot. However, he is neither quick nor agile, and is therefore easily defended by smaller, slower players. He also has a very inconsistent first touch. His passing is also below average. We will watch as this story develops. Stevenson #14 respectably played entire match at MF, filling in for Trapp #6.

Starters, I believe: ---Saad---Schmitt---Barrett--- ----------Quinn--------Caldwell---- -----------Stevenson--------------- --Brenes--Barson--Afsarifard--Yedlin-- ------------------Meves--------------- Later in 2nd half: -----Saad-----Schmitt-----Arboleda--- -------Quinn--------Caldwell---- --------------Stevenson--------------- --Brenes--Barson--Afsarifard--Yedlin-- ------------------Meves--------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazan07 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That is really good that we have such versatile players. We've seen Brenes at right wing, left back, and last season at defensive midfield, what a great asset to have. Really, Stevenson has been the same, although I think he shines much better in an attacking role than as left back. I think what that means for these guys though, is they probably come off the bench to fill in just about anywhere, or are maybe spot starters.

fknbuflobo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes I have no idea how this guy got here. Coming from the same high school as Wil Trapp, I am sure there is a connection. I have no other details right now. If and when this dude fills out, he will look like a tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
