I think one of the most important functions De Rosario performed in that game was holding the ball up at various times. That's probably the area where being a man down hurts you the most. You win the ball only to be dispossessed quickly due to numbers.Originally Posted by McCartney
He bobbed and weaved while our defenders mildly chased him around. He sucked in two or three guys and once and in the meantime DC players like Pontius what were defending had time to get up the field in attacking positions. This allowed DC to start the counter attack and ultimately put them in positions to create chances.
I think he's performance last time out had a lot more dimensions to it than a couple of defensive mistakes by TFC. Remember we play in a league where you see mistakes all the time, but they aren't always punished.
