Cutler didn't get enough

Cutler didn't get enough credit for his game. As soon as he was subbed out Colorado started sending balls up the middle instead of always attacking up their left wing.

Beltran gave his man too much space, leaving him open to send in all kinds of dangerous crosses. A goal was inevitable.

Slightly agree with

Slightly agree with Cutler...
I think Cutler had a decent game. Terrible giveaways early on, but nothing lead to dangerous chances. He held C. Gomez up pretty well. But, I don't think Colorado's middle attack was from the Cutler not being on the field. It was cause the lineup switched to a 4-3-3, leaving huge gaps in the middle. I liked the sub at first, but the tactics on the field just didn't work out.

Agreed with Beltran...
Colonoscopy (Colin Clark) had way too much room on the left side, Beltran was tucking it in (not like a drag queen).

Good comment. Have MomOf6 reward you. :)

RSL needs big help on the

RSL needs big help on the defensive wings. Beltran is getting owned and Wingert seems to be hanging back and giving too much room. All a team needs to do is get down the wings and fast forwards will beat our center backs to the ball.
Fix the wings.
