I wouldn't be surprised... coming to MLS and playing with people like Barett and Garcia is a joke. He's not a stupid guy and I'm pretty sure he's wondering how the fuck these guys ever got paid playing... Hopefully he lets the FO know and they do something about it...JDG might get frustrated but fuck...I have been for 3 seasons now...
Julian needs to be made Captain of this team, and it needs to be clear that he is THE General. If he is going to play as a deep holding playmaker, which is a role I like for him, it must be made clear that all those around him must follow his lead, or the whole exercise will be counter productive.
I think he looked great, for the first time, he will be a great on field general.
^I'll second that.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Fair enough, but until we gat a player who can suitably replace him, its a non conversation, really. Fellinga?!......definitely not from what I've seen so far.
And even if/when we do get that player, hopefully Jimmy B will be treated better than Dichio was.....I think he deserves that much, at least.
its just you. JDG was a force that did what he could. I am glad to see TFC moving the ball around on the ground. What lacks is a game plan (that comes from the coach) to penetrate through the opponents defense. If JDG looked lost, it was b/c he was looking for someone to pass to, and it looked like no one was making the runs or giving him forward moving options.
IMO, JDG was partially to blame for both goals, as he was unable to stop Becks from shooting on the first and put Brennan under pressure with an ill-advised pass before the second.
Apart from that, I thought he had a solid game. Looked like he knew what he was doing, unlike most of the others on the field. For example, the pass to Brennan before the second goal could be made without hesitation to any leftback JDG has ever played with. As he practices/plays more with the team, he will learn what his teammates can and cannot do.
IT'S ONE FLIPPING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what i said before, keep an eye on how many imes they get in each others space or not close enough etc Amado is used to having the ball most of the time and so is DeRo but with DeRo it should be easier coz he should be getting the ball th mot in the final third but with Julian and Amado in the ball they will both want the ball and im not sure how that is gonna work.
If you look at Beckhams goal he got in between of both of them in the end they were both that foot too far away to make the tackle.
Freddie is a vocal person, Julian will just keep it to himself and we will find out after lol
A lot of the DP's are older and know they are coming to the MLS to end their careers so i think they put up with it and ccept it a bit more, Julian just came from La Liga and is younger but he is very down to earth so we will see.
JDG was just fine. Put together some of the best passes during the game. The 30+ defenders are another issue.
Young Family... Honduras in the WC... his role miminized by JDG... Unfortunately I don't see him here next year... He'll probably go to a team in Honduras and eventually reitre there (maybe into a new role as coach or director)... he is still very well respected over there.
However, who will take our set pieces!!!

All other things being equal, I agree that Amado is gone. But if the cap goes up substantially, and he feels that his career is at a point where he's comfortable coming in for 30 minutes a game, then I feel like we can afford to keep a player like him around.
