Rocha is not a godo player for what we need. He doesn’t have the workrate to play in the midfield; that is why he played right back in his Brazil carreer. Either move him back to right back or let him go back home.

I hope they stick with Burse. Season is a bust and they should start playing the future. I love Dario, but we need to play the kids.

Dan, he didn’t. I think people are just reading his body language and effort.

I’d wait and see on Rocha. We’re beginning to realize that he may be one of those players who just don’t have the heart/brain to complement their million-dollar physical skills. I’d rather have him though than Saragosa, who’s the exact opposite…

Where did Rocha say he doesn’t want to be here?

Don’t post here, but been following regularly for about 2 years now….

Anyone else mildly nervous about Sala coming back in to start? Burse has definitely improved, and I feel there is a familiarity with the team, and a groove that Burse is in, whereas with Sala an immense amount of rust.

At least, let Sala win it back in training.

(Also, not saying Burse is better by any means, talking more about being comfortable and fluid in the game with all the playing time he has this season.)

Good stuff as always Buzz. Rocha needs to be the first player to leave the team, he doesn’t want to be here anyway.

Glad to see Rocha finally getting a chance to start. He’s shown us he deserves it. Game after game after game. Anybody else notice him give up on the long ball played to him, going out of bounds down the right side in the second half of last week’s game, and right in front of the FCD bench? Still took SH 5 minutes to sub him out.
