Clint Mathis prolific scorer?

Our ball movement up front is terrible.

We need to work the wings and not always run straight up the middle of the field and then wonder why we get stuffed.

Exactly!! That's why I want a 3-3-4 formation. Two FW's on the wings to send those crosses into a waiting Washington and perhaps 1 or 2 attacking mids along with the other wing.

Just to show my geek-ness and my faith in Clint, I just named of our servers for our executive offices "Cleetus". Typically we stick with Greek gods, but it sounds close enough.
Now when someone asks me where to install the printer from I can tell them to go to Cleetus.

I'm with Aero on this. How can we say Dante consistently does anything? Good or bad, he has only played the majority of one game for RSL. Its a little too soon to say he is "THE" target man up front or a massive bust. When it comes down to it, is it better we have him instead of Evan Whitfield? Sure Evan was a good player (average) but we have enough average midfielders. We need more target forwards.
And let me say this: PUT IN WATSON EARLIER!
That is all.

Agreed...Washington might be slow and old, but he's still a target man, and you absolutly need that kind of player on your team.

Going somewhat off-topic, there were a handful of Real parents who purchased season tickets, and Evan Whitfield's parents were apparently among the contingent who bought RSL tixs!

I saw Evan Whitfield in the stands at the WCQ... not sure if he stayed for the second game though.
