Yeah, but that was Melvin Tarley. Practically anyone would be better than Melvin Tarley.

Harris is my idol for doing what he did and I only wish he could have put that Eurotrash away for the season.

I can't stand Harris as much as the next guy but he does have 2 goals. Watson only has 3 shots and 1 on goal.

Amazing how Atiba has been able to pull that off with only 17x the number of minutes played.

Regardless, they both get cards and neither score enough.

I would hope Harris has more goals than Watson since Harris has played 757 minutes to Watson's 41...turn the minutes around and Watson would have better stats than Harris...Harris made a dumb move with Madrid and fans won't forget that..

I agree. I hope that we ship him out. Watson isn't the answer though.

I disagree with shipping him out until we can get a LOT better of a player but you're right, Watson is NOT the answer. He's too inexperienced to play, that's why he doesn't...

Wow Taylor, where to begin?

The difference is minutes. Watson's on pace to play 75 minutes THE WHOLE SEASON. It's hard to expect much out of a forward when he plays in 5 minute increments. And consider that his minutes are coming at the end of the game when our priority is to possess the ball and waste time, not score goals. At least Watson is still a game changer who shows spark on the field. Harris' RSL career has been like watching the Hindenburg.

Too inexperienced to play? Is that why Ballouchy, Forko, and Novak don't play? They've got less experience than Watson (or they used to). No, the reason Watson doesn't play is because he plays the same position as the all-time leading scorer in MLS history, and the current leading scorer in the league. Makes it hard to get on the field. And I'm not speculating here - this comes straight from the horse's mouth.

Yes, but we got both so that Jamie could have experience in practice. We're trying to train Jamie so that one day he can be the great. Right now he's not. They are. They also may be inexperienced but they're the best we've got, Jamie's not. Now neither is Atiba but Jamie shouldn't play. He's not to the level Ellinger wants him to be.
