I’m not bitter, at least I had a good time drinking cider in Denver. But seriously, who was that stagnant, disorganized group of players in white on Saturday? Short of the entire team contracting swine flu, I guess you’d have to say nearly everything bad that could happen did. I’ve never seen 11 players who wanted the ball less. We spent an enormous amount of time looking like we were desperately defending against an attack which was surprisingly straight forward. Our midfield looked perpetually a man down, team shape was chucked right out the window in the first few minutes. We gave the ball away far too cheaply, and always at inexplicable times. Outside of the ringer off the crossbar and Johnson inexplicable failing to run on for a great pass, we hardly caught a whiff of goal all night. Kreis opted to protect our two goal deficit with his substitutions, and to top it all off, we’ve lost our starting keeper and sweeper…..Come to think of it, I’m not sure why I’m not homicidal right now.
Kyle Davies
So, I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth here, but RSL needs to do some serious thinking here. I was impressed with Kyle’s play when I saw him with the U20’s, so I think he’s a young kid with talent, So I’m not saying this is something RSL should walk away from. One thing is certain, the competition leves at central defense just got serious. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Olave, Davies, Borchers, Russell mixer
RCB Action!!
The RCB will be taking part in an RSL Supporters event on Saturday Feb. 21 at 10:00 am at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Event will be a recruitment event for RSL’s supporters groups, as well as being a good opportunity to practice some songs and work out some organization with the other groups.
