[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3185630, member: 12852"] I'm still late in the first half, but I see 2 huge problems causing most of our troubles. 1) Sam Vines needs to be out of the player pool until/unless he develops better. He's playing way too deep, which is causing Gio to play way too deep and it's disrupting our tactics and shape in attack. We can't sustain anything forward on the left side bc of it. 2) Aaron Long and is not sharp. Way too many lazy passes against a team that presses high and he's not moving well off the ball. He and McKennie have had 4-5 missed opportunities where you can tell they have different ideas. Long wants to play slow out of the back and Weston wants to build an attack. If Long wants to play at this level he needs to start making more incisive passes rather than the lazy crap he's rolling around. The turnover that led to their goal was a Long/McKennie mishap. Weston expected his center back to step into space and Long stayed back for no reason. Weston laid it off into space for Long to run onto it and build, but Long senselessly stayed back in a defensive posture and we turned it over. Turner has been solid, but he's wasted 2-3 balls off his feet. He's got to improve that aspect of his game. [/QUOTE]
