Lol! I said O'Rourke was the only one in midfield
who could be bothered
with attempting a tackle..... but I did not say he did
it well ;-) .....

Looked
like the current US national basketball team against...
well anyone right
now. To be expected, however.
Ny
weaknesses- They have no midfield presence...in that
Nobody but O'Rourke could be bothered with
defending in the middle.
Gevara can be silky, but holds the ball too long, slows play, and could not
tackle
to
save his
life.
Djork could not be bothered to tackle and looks like another
euro-weenie
over
here to play "kick around" and see the sights in
NY.
No teeth in attack. Buddle is unimaginative and looks like a plodding
quarterhorse going up against Ky thoroughbreds. Just take a step
and lop it toward goal. 35 yards out, no problem...... No vision, no sense
of
game situations, etc.
In
short, what we would expect for a lower-mid table MLS side against one the
top
2,3 club sides in the
world. It also looked like Barca turned it up a notch after looking
rather ordinary a few
other
matches.
Give
Ny a player in the middle like Mastroeni, and that team would be an
altogether
different
proposition; but still would have been beaten like a rented mule.
