Another thing, Gutierez....excellent match from him. Apparently he was the best player in training all week, so seems like he shook the rust off his boots last week. Just in time, the guy is a real addition down the flank as a WB. I liked the idea in the beginning of starting him and Brown as inverted wingbacks, Guti had that one blistering shot he'd normally back off on if he were on the other side and it landed to his right. Talking about DPs, now seems almost inconceivable Ali Adnan was the DP in that same position, a left FB that didn't like defending, WTF. Very skilled, a bull of a player on attack, but what a goddamn princess he was!

Jake needs to decide if he wants to be a wannabe soccer player or a wannebe gansta. White needs to be careful with the booze or say goodbye to that solid 6 pack.
Why does it look like they're in one of Dexter's kill rooms?
He became available because his team in Mexico had to shed an international player or something like that. That was a red flag to me from the get go - not saying I saw such a precipitous nosedive coming, but I never did get the pom poms out...
I had pom poms, knee pads, and lip gloss at the ready. Was so desperate for a real DP who can crack open a match. Gauld shows up, and I hardly paid notice....fool me 10 times, shame on you, I say. Turns out he's a bit of a stud.

Kaye suggests Buchanan lost MLS award over anti-Canadian bias - TSN.ca
On Thursday, FC Dallas and United States midfielder Ricardo Pepi was named MLS Young Player of the Year, but not everybody was happy about it. Colorado Rapids and Canada midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye cited bias as the reason why his CanMNT teammate and New England Revolution winger Tajon Buchanan...
Well, I'm known as the Alder Lane Ali Adnan, so take that.
I agree. What a weird line up! Godinho? Rose? Owusu? Although they played decently enough I suppose.Strange lineup choices for me. Like really strange.
What a rocket by the US International (Caldwell, you're an idiot)
I think I'm over Cavalini. He can move on if he wishes. Body language and attitude are garbage. I hoped a Canadian international could make it here but it hasn't worked.
Almost criminal for Gaspar to be caught offside on the goal that was called back. ugh.
Kansas is just a way better team than us.
I'm still amazed the Caps scraped their way in to the playoffs. The team was the absolute shits under MDS! lol
I hope how badly our “captain” played wakes the people up in this club that keep force feeding him into line-ups. He was terrible. Baffling choices otherwise. Ah well, magic beans had to lose their power at some point.
It also didn't help that Sartini basically guaranteed a win... Khiry Shelton sounded ready to punch him out...
The commentators must be paid to say good things about the Caps - it's the only way to explain Caldwell's musings. And the other guy in the studio pre-game.. ripping on Melia for being overrated because he "stays too deep on his line for me"... hey moron - only hope he has of making the huge stop he made was being back on his line...
Godinho with just a shocking cross attempt leading directly to the first goal... Teibert with as effective a screen as you'll ever see on his own goalie on the second... Gaspar lazy and unmotivated, GFTO, Cavallini with the heavy touch and then bundling foul is really a perfect microcosm of what he is - a typical complete DP whiff by the Caps... and Nerwinski I love as a bench fullback who works hard, but he can't be starting.
I'm not going to harp on Teibert because it's been clear for years to anyone with a functioning soccer brain. I'd like to think that they made progress this year but really, who do you WANT back?
For me it's a short list:
White
Dajome
Caicedo
Godoy
Ranko
Gutierrez
Gaud
Crepeau
Brown
Nerwinski (as a cheap bench option only)
Vite (signed him, might as well see what they have)
I can't think of anyone else that I'd cry over moving on from. Jungwirth and Rose were good defenders, but they're past it by next year, I think...

Agreed. Need to focus and build a team around Dajome, Gauld, White, and even Crepeau.
Need to add players that are solid in their positions and stop trying to make players play out of their positions. Manchester United had 1 John O'Shea. I always feel like the Whitecaps have 10 John O'Shea's.
Could you imagine a quality midfielder playing instead of Teibert? How good would Gauld shine then?

Had I cared to writer up a report, this would have been it.
To your list, I'd add Jungwirth and put Gaspar back in, only because I think you are stuck w/ both. Gaspar's baffling, when he plays well, he's a very good RB or even LB option, especially as a wingback. But fcuk me man, he sure does look like he doesn't give a shite the other 1/2 the time. When he's good, he's very good and you can see the pedigree. LIGHTYEARS better than Jake. When bad, you want to throw a shoe at the TV.
Having Jungwirth back is good but only when in the middle. He gets exposed when dragged out to defend. Too slow.
Jake has only been 1/2 decent in the 3 back formation, and even then only as a sub, but at this point I'd prefer to move him along and develop a younger player. Can we send Godihno off in the same box, separate toe tag? Thanks in advance.
