So far I'm not as excited about Torres as many of you are.....there were several plays during the Canada game where torres has the ball in attack, with space, and options, and played the ball too early to players in much less dangerous positions, and basically killed the attack. I'll give him a pass to a degree that he might have been looking for Dempsey "just because". But frankly, he's supposed to be on of our most creative players, and I'm not seeing it. He is cute with the ball, and he fancies the ball without pressure. But under pressure he either loses possession or plays a bad ball. In space he doesn't really look like a threat to score. What he has shown is a willingness to work to win the ball back, which is good. For my money though, we need Bradley back in the attack, in the 4-3-3 and Torres can sit.
It was painfully clear that fabian Johnson is the LB...without him, Castillo was just crazy. Goodson was fine, and Cherundolo needs a break. Dempsey has to be more patient, and stop reading the headlines.....sometimes you have to do the work without the ball and be patient and ready. Donovan needs to decide he wants to make plays...he seems so willing to disappear.
