couple decisions defensive fly goal good half leads needed past recent trips
The only fly in the ointment was that goal in the first half in one of their infrequent trips (in the Wizards' defensive end). There were a couple of decisions we needed to make better. Then we got a little apprehensive after that. We were teetering a little bit. Two-zero leads in the recent past haven't been good to us.
attractive blessed brings eddie excitement game goals impact leads plays speed
What Eddie brings is a combination of excitement and effect, he plays the game in an attractive fashion. He is blessed with speed and touch, but that leads to goals and wins. He is an impact player.
artistry ball credit dominated effort finally games goals hanging hard majority matter riding scrappy stand technical time today vast won
Today wasn't a matter of hanging in there. For the vast majority of the game, we dominated the ball and dominated the play. We all know that games aren't just won on artistry and on ball possession. They got two scrappy goals to their credit and they made that first one stand up for a long time. When we finally answered, they got another one. You congratulate them for their effort and grit. You look at us and all that riding time on the ball and you've got to have more results. I thought we had more opportunities today than they did. That's a positive. Games aren't always won by tactical and technical things, they are sometimes won by hard work. They got the better of us in that way.
elated giving goal goals good second tied
We're not frustrated, but we're not elated either. We scored the first goal, we scored the second goal after they tied it up, so we feel good about that. We don't feel good about giving up two goals off restarts.
came everywhere goals guys hard maybe pointed won
We came here to win, ... I pointed out to the guys before that we'd won everywhere (in MLS) but here. It was there. Maybe at the end of the day, it was a just result. But it's hard to give up two goals on restarts.
four goal last run time
The goal that Gomez got, that's the first time anybody's got a goal on us over the run of play in the last four games.
anxious capable coming knew
We knew it was coming one way or another. We have enough capable guys, 27 guys, all anxious and capable of playing.
against college impressed impression isolated last played saw
We saw (Watson) the last part of the college season. We also saw him last summer. You get as much of an impression there as you do in isolated games. We were impressed with how he played with and against our guys.
columbus game keen second sure win
Every game is there to be won. This is our first opportunity. We'll be keen and I'm sure Columbus will be keen. So we'll want to win the first one, the second one and the 16th one.
couple decent either front good handing knows line lord man maybe physical score speed technical terms traits
When the good Lord was handing out the physical traits in terms of quickness, agility, speed and coordination, he was at the front of the line and maybe he went in line a couple of times for some of them. But he knows how to use it. For a young man of 21 he's got a pretty decent set of technical skills. He can score with either foot. He can score in the air.
april asking felt good last please ready start year
Bo had a pretty good year last year. We felt all year long that Will was ready to play and we still feel the same way. So if you are asking me who is going to start on April 1, please come and watch.
