Gargan looking solid at LB, nice moves after keeping Frei save in, very chill, doesn't seem to make as many blind runs as Yourass and Borman. Also Petersen is quite solid, very strong Physically, protects the ball, keeps possession, and solid on set pieces so far (doesn't shoot on every single one like DeRo used to, something that always bugged me) Sick pass by Santos on the end. Plata looked like Aaron Lennon on that goal. Sorry guys, got alot saved up, been enjoying the game on live feed and didn't want to stop to type lol.
