believe bit building fighting figure good points position realistic sights starting team
I believe that the starting points for building a good team are in place. Now we've got to keep going. It's a process. Then as we go, you know what, we can start to figure out what's realistic and where we are. Where are we in the standings? Are we still in position to set our sights on other things? Are we fighting to make the playoffs? You go a little bit at a time.
counting example good players tone
Certainly, he's one of the players I am really counting on to set a good example and a good tone each day.
feeling good handled sit
I didn't have a good feeling with the way things were handled in New York. It still doesn't sit right with me.
attack both complete count determine fill forward freedom game given hall hang hard needs player plays pushed role sure understand
We've pushed him hard to be a more complete player, a two-way player and I think it's important for him to understand that. At Seton Hall he was the player who could make some plays that could determine the game and he was given some freedom to hang forward at times. I'm not sure he'll fill that role here. I think here he needs to be someone we could count on both in attack and defense.
changed continuing good group guys moving themselves throughout type ways works
We've changed throughout preseason. I feel like we're continuing to look at different combinations and see what works and we need that type of flexibility as we through the season. We still have a ways to go. For me, it's still good to see guys moving themselves forward. There's a group that's doing pretty well.
defenders midfield starting sure team
It's not just about the defenders because we must defend well as a team starting with the frontrunners and make sure that in the midfield things are tighter.
against bit days game guys national nice normal saw step
It's normal in preseason that when you play against the national team, guys are excited. It's a little different kind of game than normal. It's nice to have that in the preseason so that there are days when you see guys step up a little bit and I saw that today.
battle early enter excited factor game impose itself takes team top
It's like any other game. Early on it will be a battle to see which team can get the edge, can impose itself on the other team. They'll enter the game with more optimism, excited about some new talent. But then it's our job, especially at home, to get on top of them in a way that takes that factor out of the picture.
across ball chances cheating coming continue early foot game goal good half hard jeff obviously push ryan second thinking tony tough turned until worked wrong
Not good goals, obviously a ball turned over early in the first half and Ryan Pore was able to get Jeff on the wrong foot and Tony was cheating a little bit, thinking that the ball was coming across and he got caught. We worked hard to get back to 1-1. Now to continue that push and keep the game even until we get chances to win. Again, early in the second half, it was a tough goal to give up.
build field ultimately
It's got to be like that on the field. Ultimately it's going to be like that in the stands, and we can build on that. That's our goal.
excellent game good great happy jason jonathan left moves players sees team three trade
It was good for our team to trade the first pick, because we got three excellent players and not just one. Jason is a great defender. I like the way Sacha sees the game and the way that Jonathan moves on the left side. I'm really happy about our picks.
bring build good group hard improve others players possibilities quickly time top work
It's very important to work hard during this time to build a very good roster from top to bottom. We have a big group of players in. There are some that we will quickly let go and we will bring others in and try to use this time to look at different possibilities for how to improve our roster.
add age asked believe forget hard help last minute worked year
I still believe that Ramon can help us with that. Last year ... I feel like Ramon worked very hard but I feel sometimes he was asked to do so much by himself. Forget the age for a minute -- no one can do it by (himself). It has to be collective. I still feel he can add to that.
ability believe brings inside mentality organize people team terms tremendous understanding
I still believe that Claudio's experience, his ability to organize the defense, what he brings on the inside of the team in terms of mentality and team building, I just think he's a tremendous asset. He has a tremendous understanding of how to organize people around him, of how to communicate, of how to make (people) better and I think that will go a long way for our team.
