>>Ruiz’s stats:
7Goals on 59 total shots = 11.9%
7Goals on 25 shots on goal = 28%

Doesn’t this prove Ruiz isn’t getting the same service? Emilio has Gomez. Ruiz has… Denilson?

Plus no second threat with Cooper out. Emilio has Moreno.

Just sayin’ Ruiz isn’t a total flop (pun intended).

Hate to disagree with you on Burse Chamo. I think he must be the luckiest guy on the planet because he makes mistake after mistake, just not too many of them have resulted in goals…yet. He has bad feet and questionable hands and doesn’t make the best decisions, like most inexperienced keepers. I don’t know how you can say he’s more of a Phoenix than Alvarez. We were ready to ship Alvarez off last season and now he would be one of my choices for team MVP. He’s had a much better second half of the season than Toja.

So does Bob Bradley have the balls to start Edu over young Michael? and where does Feilhaber fit in.

This is troubling as all of our good young players are midfielders with no forwards or defenders. Look at this: Beasley, Donovan, Dempsey, Feilhaber, Bradley, Edu, Szetela, Adu, Convey, McCarty, Clark, Alvarez (nats like him), Zizzo, Beckerman, and (thinner here) Mapp, Gaven, Nguyen.

only 4 or 5 can get on the field.

Buzz,
You should make a note that Edu’s fine rookie season landed him not only a cap but a start against Switzerland. Here are the overall stats that I got from mlsnet.com.
Emilio’s stats:
20Goals on 79 total shots = 25.3%
20Goals on 47 shots on goal = 42.6%
Ruiz’s stats:
7Goals on 59 total shots = 11.9%
7Goals on 25 shots on goal = 28%

Only a couple were actually arguing, and it was based on pure “look at the statistics” reasoning and not on, um . . . reality.

Anyway, great choices, here, Buzz!

uh, people really are arguing that Toja shouldn’t be a starter? Where, at Real Madrid? I guess the world needs stupid people too, for some reason.

How can you pick Toja for MVP? On bigsoccer last week many were arguing he shouldn’t be a starter.

Phoenix should go to Burse. He has been so good that many of us think he should start on Saturday.
