...He still isnt ready to be a first team player. <br /><br />Why not go with Hohlbein? The backline is a team and he was fanning on crosses and whiffing kicks.<br /><br />Reepicheep- Espinoza has more upside than basically every other young player on the roster. Hes had some mind numbing games, I will give you that, maybe im crazy, but I see a lot of potential in him. Though I saw it much more watching HondurasMOUFWASHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464173073658108253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-601443774820042712009-08-09T10:27:02.839-05:002009-08-09T10:27:02.839-05:00Agree J, after the goal by Houston I was really wo...Agree J, after the goal by Houston I was really worried, hell before that goal I was worried when I saw Conrad was going to the Gold Cup, cause I knew Onalfo wouldn't move Besler to center back cause that would require putting Harrington back at his best position and potentially showing up Besler. But McKenzie stepped up and filled in well throughout the month.<br /><br />Reepicheep, you are letting the Dallas game cloud your thoughts (then again I wouldn't expect less considering your continued comments on Espinoza). Course it doesn't help that July sucked as well.dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-90229680012409233452009-08-09T10:24:47.217-05:002009-08-09T10:24:47.217-05:00I should clarify -- I meant to say I agree with Mi...I should clarify -- I meant to say I agree with Mike's selection. McKenzie started off shaky and faced a big task of filling in for Jimmy, but his overall play was solid throughout the month. And after those first few minutes of the July 4th game, I generally felt confident watching him lead out defense.Jhttp://arsenal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-875825202805022392009-08-09T10:23:07.087-05:002009-08-09T10:23:07.087-05:00I would actually agree.

McKenzie seemed to misjudge the cross that led to the solitary goal in our July 4th loss to Houston, and at that point, I expected our July to be just terrible with him in place of Conrad. But he picked his head up and played very well for the rest of that game and for the rest of the games that I saw in July. I did not see the 6-0 debacle in Texas, but hey, that was in August.Jhttp://arsenal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-76365127852746125782009-08-08T22:33:59.569-05:002009-08-08T22:33:59.569-05:00Seriously Mike?

I rarely can find fault with your perspective on stuff but I'm out on this one. <br /><br />Maybe it was McKenzies absolutely HORRIBLE Dallas game that haunts me. The LA game was good for him, but otherwise he looked pretty poor to me.<br /><br />I thought Espinoza was better..oh wait...he was gone for most of July right? That's why I'm thinking well of Roger.Reepicheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614939842967705669noreply@blogger.com
