"Wow Bradley is a good player"

This is a good analysis. You can see when it goes wrong (goal in Seattle...Osorio and Bradley both ahead of the ball, then Henry also goes foward then Seattle have more players attacking than we do...

I understand. I think the 'benefit of the doubt' I'm putting on things right now is that I think counter attacking tactics was the "sensible" option in these first season games. We know we are a week...

How would you play against RSL away? High pressure game at altitude? Keep possession as much as possible and try and out-fitness the home team?

I would have done the same as Nelson....counter...

Hall wasn't playing to create chances, that's not his game at all.
Bloom was there to sure up defensively as well. Farran is more true winger, and a player you need when you are going to be on top,...

The thing with Bekker - you can see with that backheel late on. Player makes backheel.....RSL player runs for it....Bekker looks "oh that's a nice pass"....2 seconds later....*oh, I should be running...

haha, love it!

Oh well.

Let's hope Defoe is ok.

Otherwise its a learning experience for the new team. We had to lose at sone point, at least this is a game that on paper the best team won, and we didn't...

We gotta look at this as a fitness session for some players now, Gilberto getting minutes is only going to help our whole season. (looking on a bright side).

Losing this game....damn not good....

Defoe injured....oh shit!

I would normally agree, but I think we can give Hall the benefit on this one as he has been injured and this is his first game of the season, he's bound to be a little off pace.

Also, if I was a...

OMG panic we are losing at half time at one of the most difficult away destinations against one of consistently better teams in the league! Nelson out, Defoe out, Bradley out! *rolls eyes hugely*

Totally agreed. I think some people are just remembering Hall under Mariner, when lets face it, ALL the team was hopeless! But when Hall moved into midfield last season he held his own very well....
