Played a bit better. Still can’t score.
By: Herschel | July 13th, 2009The Wizards seemed to play a better game this past Saturday against New England than last week’s home loss against Houston but still cannot seem to find the back of the net; luckily neither could New England.
To make a long story short (since I’m traveling for work) the Wizards again seemed to dominate the run of play but with little or no impact when moving forward. The only real chances came from KC, mainly on plays from Harrington and Lopez but were controlled by Matt Reiss who was able to keep his injury plagued team from allowing a goal.
Luckily New England never really threatened the Wizards goal, since one goal probably would have been enough to win the game the way KC’s offense is playing nowadays. Although much more solid in the back, the KC midfield did little to create scoring chances, and the few that were created were wasted.
At this point I would like to see a change in the midfield for the LA game since more than likely Arnaud and Espinoza won’t be back, but it seems Onalfo in enamored with Michael Harrington in midfield instead of his more natural position in the back. Still, whatever he decides to do we need more playmakers in the middle to feed our forwards so they can play a bit further ahead instead of having to come back for balls in the midfield.
Now KC has 2 weeks before the next game against LA. It would seem we’ll still be shorthanded and won’t have Watson in the back. Hopefully our attack will somehow improve and we can at least start scoring again.
Here are the highlights:
