The Dynamo knocked us out last season and have been a thorn in our side. We need to get after them, take it to the next level.<br /><br />I, too, would prefer the Zusi, Espinoza, Cesar midfield with Peterson up top with Kamara and Sapong. I think right now, that's the best combination of offense and defense. We need as many scrappy, two-way players on the field as possible against the Dynamo. And Peterson seems to bring some different. He seems to squeeze into spots not expected by the other team's defense. <br /><br />Go Sporting!hartleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-44973054519020679162012-11-01T00:46:40.377-05:002012-11-01T00:46:40.377-05:00I'd prefer Zusi, Espinoza, and Cesar in the mi...I'd prefer Zusi, Espinoza, and Cesar in the middle as opposed to a 3-man defensive midfield with Rosell or Olum.<br /><br />I remain wary of the lack of a consistent lineup recently, especially when the alternative lineup equates to an alternative formation and style.<br /><br />Kinnear has shown that he's more than happy to put all 11 defensive players into the box for set pieces. It's my belief that instead of trying to run through that wall with Olum, Peterson's run-of-play contributions will be more helpful.<br /><br />Houston is the team I least wanted to face in either conference because of the coaching and personnel match ups. At least its home-and-away.Nathan Martinnoreply@blogger.com
