Good luck watching it closely! (I'm like you... I always have to rewatch it when I get home.)Jeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539140670687588787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394291933100545145.post-85375675181967326702015-06-02T15:26:11.819-07:002015-06-02T15:26:11.819-07:00Whoa...you're going to the New England game?

Def. think Fernandez and Urruti have more of a connection and am looking forward to seeing the starting lineup.

I did see the second half of Colorado v. Portland, but at such a remove in terms of attention and emotion that I'll have to watch again. Thought I'd roll any thoughts worth having on that into a review/preview for the New England game.<br /><br />As for the Valeri/Fernandez....well, it's not quite a debate on that level, so much as how much longer you rest Valeri. Till he's whole is my vote; if not entirely, then closer to. The article behind the "check elsewhere" link above (1st one) makes a case for a good connection between Fernandez and Urruti. While I haven't given that enough thought or attention, said (alleged) connection makes a still-stronger case for resting Valeri.

He's been one of my favorites since we got him (not because he was good, but just because he was fun to watch) and now that he's getting better, I've enjoyed watching him even more.<br /><br />Also, not surprised about Gaston, he rubs people the wrong way (even though he was our second leading scorer in total goals, not just MLS regular season). Even now, as he contributes more, he gets hated on by the vocal minority. Will be interesting to see if people warm up to him a bit more if he contributes to a goal against NE Revs or puts in another good showing. I predict CP start Gaston and lets DV have an extra week of rest and would do so even if DV was close to ready. Non-conference opponent, at home, and Gaston is playing well. Wouldn't be surprised to see Valeri sub in though if Gaston's struggling or we're in need of a goal. What do you think?<br /><br />Also... where's your @ Colorado recap?
