I think that's fair enough. Landon DID do a good job of distributing  
the ball and absolutely kept things moving. But my complaint is that  
he should be able to pretty much dribble around and dazzle any player  
on that team and he tried perhaps once. Your comments about him not  
getting the ball may have considerable merit and I'll be watching the  
game again later today (yup, I'm a glutton for punishment!) and I'll  
keep an eye out for what you're seeing. He's our most dangerous player  
and he needs to be selfish at least 3-4 times a game and just ram the  
ball down their throats, use his considerable speed, and take a shot.  
That's the Landon that I've seen more and more of this year in the  
MLS, but it hasn't translated onto the field. Doug
