Also, i know you've been clamoring for years that a 3-5-2 is the perfect formation for FCD to play, but you seem to veer from that in this report. is that because of the current personnel? do you believe (like me) that the 3-5-2 is a good fit as the general identity of the club because it clogs the midfield, making it tough for visiting teams to play in Dallas in July & August? buzz,

Last year Morrow was rebuilding with youth, explained it to the FO and got fired when the team played made youthful mistakes and got hammered by the Galaxy. FCD is on the old Rangers bizarro track where every year or two they veer one way then a completely opposite way. The Rangers have stayed on their youth mission for about three years now and are starting to see good results. Juan, that is actually funny.

Please become the the birthright of the US youth and not only have them but start playing them. Good luck! I hope FC Dallas continues to believe in the youth. See great examples in Atlas of Mexico.

I'll continue to hope for FCD losses until he's sacked and out of the league for good. Now "H" is playing the 3-5-2 that Clarke played and he thought was so bad when he took over.

Hyndman, god love him, is not equal to the task. I've been on the fence with him for a while, not wishing to dogpile, but Hyndman is not up to the challenge.

Aaron, Fugerson is probably a bit old to cover the ground needed. Moose, skip the first 30 but after that worth watching.

Now all of the attackers are on the bench, being pulled back, or are not performing. Not good. As fate would have it, I'd be west of Seattle when we played the Sounders (traded in my seats for two on the side of me against Columbus). Is it worth my time to watch the game? Gaffer made it sound like "no". This was supposed to be an attacking juggernaut of a team with an OK defense. Now all of the attackers are on the bench, being pulled back, or are not performing.

The problem with the 4-3-3 then, as it would be now, is the inability for a three man midfield to win the battles in this league. They'll give up possession and have three advanced attackers who will spend the majority of the game waiting to get involved. P.S. - Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!
