came everybody exercise goal good group happy main minutes
It was a good exercise. We got the main group through 45 minutes each and that's what the goal was and I'm happy that everybody came out unscathed.
ball bit couple final gone good half minutes second slow spots third
Defensively we were pretty solid. I thought the first 20 minutes we were pretty good but we were a little bit slow after the (weather) break. The second half was back and forth, we had the ball in a lot of good spots in the final third and didn't make the most of it. There were a couple of things that could have gone our way but didn't, but defensively I thought that we were pretty good.
against bit combined groin minutes nice played touches
Yeah, he has played well. He has a bit of a groin strain, but he went through 45 minutes (Saturday against Houston) and I thought he showed some nice touches and combined well with the group, so he's doing well.
chances close couple dominated dragged few gave goal half hard knew minutes night ourselves played toll took toward twice wednesday
First half we dominated the game. We had a couple chances (and) the first goal we knew was going to be important. We dragged ourselves back twice from behind; we showed a lot of character. ... We played 120 hard minutes on Wednesday night and I think it took its toll on us toward the end. We couldn't get close enough to them at times and we gave up a few chances.
contact ease ended injury last minutes playing trying week
He ended up playing 90 minutes last week when we didn't really want him to because we are trying to ease him back. It's an injury in a place that he is going to get a lot of contact so we have to take it slowly.
aiming cup league return win
We are aiming to win the league and cup this season, and also return to Europe.
best decide decided decisions looking
We're still looking at all decisions this week. Obviously, we have Carlos (Ruiz) missing. We have got to decide what's the best way for us to go. So, we haven't decided on a lineup yet.
good last midfield played year
We've got good flexibility in our midfield and with our forwards. He's played there last year and this year, so you know, we'll see how it goes.
came ended game happen hitting last mark played pleased spots time towards year
Mark played very, very well. He came in and got his goal. I was very pleased for him. He was here last year and played towards the end of the year. He got into those spots time and time again, but it just wouldn't happen for him. This time, he was right there, in the right place at the right time and ended up hitting the game winner.
edge missed people
I think that was an edge that we've missed, and missed a lot more than people think.
great takes
I think it will be great. It has always been a great rivalry. But now, it's a whole new dimension. This takes it to a whole different level.
frankie red
I thought he made some questionable decisions. I didn't think Szetela's (foul) was a red card. Frankie's was. Frankie reacted to what happened. Szetela's was unlucky.
closing great hard mark midfield nice pleased spot wilson worked
I thought Mark Wilson did very well tonight. He worked very hard in midfield and it's nice to get the first one -- he didn't know much about it -- but he was in a great spot in there closing him down. I'm very, very pleased for him.
bobby forward front good great job open options played playoffs solid steve three
Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.
