REAL SALT LAKE vs. TORONTO FC
RICE-ECCLES STADIUM, Salt Lake City, Utah
July 28, 2008 | 9 p.m. ET (CBC)
WEEK # 18 | GAME # 120


Still sitting atop the Western Conference, Real Salt Lake return home to Rice-Eccles Stadium to take on Toronto FC on a rare edition of Monday Night Football. The teams are both unbeaten on their home fields this season, but Toronto FC is on the road - where they have won just once in seven games this year. RSL has two more points than TFC and have played two more games, but the Reds find themselves tied for fourth place in the East.

So -- what should we be realistically be hoping for tonight? Would a draw be the best possible result?

And will Barrett play tonight? Will the paperwork be done on time? If he does, does that move Edu to the bench?

Discuss.

Hoping for a win obviously! I don't think Barret will be playing so it will be Smith or Ibby up front. Not sure if Ibby is gone for the tournament or not.

Hard to say.

The tournament starts today (http://www.nimilkcup.org/?tabindex=23&tabid=2784), but Ibee isn't listed in the International Absences section of the pre-game report.

So . . .:noidea:

We might not find out until game-time.

I agree taking a draw would be great. It would be even better if they can score atleast one.

I think they're capable of scoring enough -- one goal -- for a point on the road, but not enough to win. I'm expecting 4-5-1 tonight.

What do you guys think of Edu? He's been taking flak from us and from Carver lately . . . do you think he's the type of guy who will use this as motivation to step up, or do you think he'd sulk?

If you can score one and then defend you CAN get three points. However, to do this you must acctualy defend for 90 minutes, and not the ussual 85, with stupid mistakes which cost us the three points.

BuSaPuNk
07-28-2008, 07:07 AM
Yeah they can still win with just one goal i agree. They just don't seem to be very soild in the back that they can be confident enough to keep a 1-0 lead. As of now the only way they could win 1-0 in my mind is if Sutton has a outstanding game.

My instincts are telling me Edu's ego is too big for own good. That kid was put on a pedastal last year and he started to believe everything people wrote about him.

Honestly, I'm not convinced he's mature enough to man up.

Possibly, although, when you listen to him in interviews he seems pretty down to earth. He doesn't have a Cunningham type ego where he believes he's god's gift to the world.

Maybe with Edu it's more like he believed he just needed to keep doing what he thought he was doing last year and he'd be fine; now that everyone's realized that isn't really working, maybe he's just to figure out who to change his game for the better, but hasn't quite figured it out yet.

Hard to say.

CoachGT

Maybe the move tonight is to put Edu into the striker role. He hasn't been playing well at all this year, and it is hard to say whether it is the spohmore jinx, thinking about the Olympics or just that our quality at half has improved enough to bring him back to earth. Carver seemed to think he had more energy up front when he was there against the Impact - is that a sign?

The win is necessary tonight, if only to give breathing room in the east. Although we have games in hand, we have the same point total and New York and Kansas City, meaning they could leapfrog over us (thank the soccer gods that they both drew this weekend).

Didn't they announce though that him and Wynne would be sticking around for this game?

Wait . . .

. . . they're both mentioned in the international absences in the pre-game. Hmm -- maybe Carver figured they were better off gone.

Okay, so -- who's slotting in at right-back then? James, I assume.

It will be on Channel 277 on your digital box. Ignore what the program guide says, it's wrong. Yune in at 9 to 277 and you will see the game.

Since we're on the road, I'd rather us drop to 4-5-1 and play for the point. Ricketts & Robert like to go really wide, and you know Guevara likes to go forward. I'm worried that 4-4-2 will leave Robbo too exposed and allow RSL to establish the run of play in the midfield.

Parity or parody?;)

The tight table is too close for my comfort, a scant one point ahead of 13th, and tied with five other teams! We need to start moving now, and a road win is overdue!

As for lineup:

------------------------Sutton-------------------------
James----------Velez---------Marshall-----------Brennan
Ricketts----------Robbo------Rosenlund-----------Robert
-----------------------Guevara----------------------

For playing away

----------------------Sutton---------------------------
Velez-----------James--------Marshall-----------Brennan
----------------Robbo--------Rosenlund-----------------
Ricketts--------------Guevara--------------------Robert
-----------------------Smith-----------------------------


Sub Ibee for for Rosenlund if we are down 1 and change to 4-4-2 with Smith Ibby up front. In the last 15 minutes if we are down put Cunigham in.. /cry

We need to stuff midfield like crazy and drag the game, we will be playing at altitude so we need to maintain possession in the midfield at all cost. If we let RSL have possession we are done.

Now if Barret is playing then use him instead of Smith and use Smith once Robert is tired/done.

Next 2 games will sort of show us where we are going in terms of playoff, will it be an easy ride or a do or die battle..

On my cable system, the channel is $2 a month, with a $5 change fee (goes both ways), so you might as well keep it for the rest of the season. I don`t think $10 - $15 is that much to pay for a few games.

Well, that would be a hard working team, that's for sure. In that situation, though, do you think Rosenlund would be told to hang back a bit or press forward?

Not quite astro-turf, but I believe it only has a "FIFA 1-Star" rating, whereas BMO holds the higer "FIFA 2-Star"...

Carver talked about it in his pre-game clips on TFC TV, and said while BMO's turf is better, its still a "somewhat familiar" surface...

I think the 4-5-1 is the best choice considering the player situation and the fact that we are a long long way from home.

With rogers there's a package you can "trial" for 3 months that includes bold ... if you can get that ... cancel before your 3 months is up and call to make sure they credit your account instead of the typical "we'll charge you but you'll get it a as a credit B.S. next month."

University of Utah RSL Stadium ... Reason # 1 why BMO needs to stay SSS.

Not that I am in ANY way for not being SSS ... but we wouldn't have lines on the pitch if pointy ball came. At the Rogers Centre they change the field turf between Argo and Jays games ... the same thing would occur at BMO.

However the new RSL pitch looks pretty ... and is REAL GRASS ...
