That's a great observation.

How many times are the defenders trying to make long passes that turn into turnovers because they try to by-pass the mids and/or the mids are no in position to receive the passes? The turnovers between the mids and defense are horrible. I am sure that it's always a problem, but this year it really shows.

Have any of Jen’s teams ever lost 5 games before?

The left back is on a mission. Jorgensen and Stratton are the missing pieces.

The left back now

Correlation to Football.

It is also why coaches want raw physical talent

Archaea

Summers....great physical talent, don't know about her first touch.

Disagree. Would take elite touch over speed all day.

Applying that metric there are several players on the team now who struggle

Elite touch first and speed second if on offense

My wife has a great tactical eye

I like that. Simple, but revealing.

While I think there is a strong basis for those 3 things there are exceptions.

She hasn’t played often

I agree. Rustand has talent, but we need more speed there

TLCougar

Oct 5, 5:24am

Rustand understands the game in transition

Archaea

Oct 5, 5:26am

I think Rustand will do OK at mid

TLCougar

Oct 5, 5:29am

Yet she will also be a defensive liability

Archaea

Oct 5, 5:30am

As long as she isn't required to chase down the break-aways

That's a great observation.

I don't think Rustand has the traits to ever be a strong defender.

Also just a HS senior coming off an ACL. People forget about the new trend

Agreed. She's still 17 and had major knee surgery 8 months ago. She's feeling better though and should be ready for more

Stoltenberg's leadership of NATO leaves a lot to be desired, but I don't think

Few teams with 5 losses. Only years with more 2017 and 2004 had losing records.
