http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/DC-United-c38901’s attack scores and defence spills – Major League Soccer news
Goal-scoring does not seem to be a problem for the Major League Soccer franchise, DC United. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Josh-Wolff-c19540, Blake Brettschneider and Joe Ngwenya are performing their duties efficiently and effectively. Davies has come back to the
capital city-based football club after a gap of two years and has made his mark right away, both at the club and in the league.
Davies has scored a whopping five goals in just five matches, becoming the lead goal-poacher of the season. His return, coupled with other transfers, has led to formation of one of the best offensive line-ups in the league even though most of the attackers
are playing their first ever seasons with the Black and Red.
The players are still trying to gel-in with the rest of the squad, yet they have scored a total on nine goals in just six games. Many believe that players need to have understanding on the pitch in order to perform up to expectations but the phenomena doesn’t
seem to be effecting the club.
Ben Olsen, though, has shown concern about the goal-scoring consistency, fearing it might die down. The manager is paying special attention to offensive performance in the training sessions. Assistant coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chad-c2869 Ashton concurs to Olsen’s thoughts. According
to Ashton, this process cannot be pushed and quick results cannot be expected. “It just takes time,” he said. “It takes guys getting repetition on the field together, getting different scenarios.”
Midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-Pontius-c9029 also echoes the same idea. “We have players that just came together this year,” Pontius said. “It takes time to gel as a team, but I think things will start clicking soon. You’ve seen some outbreaks in some games, so we just have
to be sharper with the final ball.”
In the midfield, however, things are smoother as Branko Boskovic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andy-Najar-c6046 both have impressed the coach. The players have shown their ball-holding and passing abilities in the centre of the park, making a strong selection case for themselves.
However, the coach needs to scrutinize the defence which has conceded 12 goals in the last six matches. With the defence leaking goals with alarming regularity, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Jakovic-c10769 and Daniel Woolard need to improve their performances by manifolds; the goals scored
are worthless if the defence evens things up by conceding soft goals.
DCU now face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 scoring a brace – to New York Red Bulls.
