STARTING XI
11 - Mauro Rosales
This pick people may not agree with but I need to see more out of Rosales. Needs to show us he is worth his $400,000 salary. It was a great win and he wasn't brutal but he needs to be better.
10 - Sebastian Fernandez
Needs to find his scoring touch. Has been struggling to find the back of the net.
9 - Steven Beitashour
Came back from missing last game with injury. He seemed to be a few steps behind everyone else. Sampson is an okay back up but Beitashour is the option.
8 - Andy O'Brien
Seemed to be struggling a bit late in the game. Might see a Dean/Waston partnership against FC Dallas.
7 - Matias Laba
With Koffie out he seems to enjoy the lone defensive midfielder role. But in this game you could see him struggling a bit in the middle defensive part of the pitch. Hope Koffie returns soon and they can continue their budding relationship.
6 - Erik Hurtado
Had a few chances to score or set up a decent attack. You can see him trying to score a wonder goal. Needs to get a dirty hard work goal to get the streak going.
5 - Jordan Harvey
Continued his good play of late. Was very strong on his part of the defensive pitch. Stopped the attack and pushed the players out wide and shut down the middle.
4 - David Ousted
League leading ninth clean sheet of the season. Has been in a nice groove on the recent run.
3 - Pedro Morales
Very good game for Pedro. Struggled a bit the past few games. Mr Automatic on penalty kicks. His passing was on point for the night.
2 - Kendall Waston
We all knew the goals would come but god damn it felt so good when it came. Might have been lucky on penalty call but he was right spot at right time. Very smart play on goal to hug Harvey. That way the defenders could wrap him up and take him out of the play.
1 - Russell Teibert
Very good game for the young Canadian. Probably his best game of the season. Attacked well, ran the wings well and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
SUPER SUBS
3 - Darren Mattocks
Late 90 + 3' sub. May not start against FC Dallas to rest his "ankle knock".
2 - Nicolas Mezquida
Was a late sub and almost made an impact in the game. Would have liked to see him get more minutes. That way Morales could rest up for the stretch run here.
1 - Mehdi Ballouchy
Has been a nice surprise coming off the bench the past two games subbing in for Rosales. If Ballouchy can keep up the good run he might have found his place and calling for this team.
