We're hopeful that we can put the last touches on that. We all know that John is an excellent player that I think would be a great addition in terms of the way he plays and the things that he does on the field.

We really need to make sure that the mentality in terms of what training needs to be like every day, how to be stronger, how to compete. ... I really felt like that part needed to get put in place and that without that we were not going to step forward the way we wanted.
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.

We certainly will need to have a third goalkeeper on our roster somewhere, so we're still wide open in terms of how we put it together.
deep four looks midfield outside pulled pushed terms three time understanding wide
They take a different look all the time. There's times when there are four in the back but an outside back has pushed into the midfield so now there's only three. There's time when there's three in the back and one of the wide midfielders is pulled deep and it looks like four. It's not the most important thing in terms of our organization and our understanding of the field.

I always knew that he would still have defensive qualities. They don't go away. He's not fast but he was never that fast. He reads things. He puts attackers on his terms. He knows how to slow guys down. For me, it was just a matter of seeing one, if he was healthy and two, if he was just really strong in terms of his motivation. I think he's shown both.

In terms of getting him back, it was slower than we all hoped. This past week was disappointing for him and disappointing for us because we were all hopeful to have him on the field.

In the back I hope that the addition of Claudio Suarez will help because I feel that his experience will go a long way in terms of organization.

We've tried to see if on certain days we can play three in the back and certain days play four based on our opponents. In that regard we try to create a good understanding on how to play and not worry about the formation.

We've tried to create a good understanding of how to play as a unit based upon the team we're playing against. We always try to build around the strengths of the players.
cruel game happen mean mentioned obvious players progress remind today true united
We're a different team. We are making progress. That doesn't mean it's always going to happen all at once. The game can be cruel sometimes. I still remind the players that that's true on all levels. I mentioned Bayern Munich-Manchester United to them today because that is one of the most obvious examples.
