From what I saw (could see) and heard from the broadcast last night he was VERY active.
How are you guys feeling about the SKC roster this year (especially until May)? I'd like to get to know more about them. Even though I'm from Missouri originally I was out of the area when MLS started up so I've spent time following the teams I've been near (RSL, Colorado, and now United). I'm considering coming out for the October match to see what a nice stadium actually looks like and enjoy a soccer-specific atmosphere. I'm hoping the new owners her can make good (and soon) on their promise to get United out of RFK and into a new stadium by Nats Park.
For DC, I'm concerned with depth all over, but especially on the wing and in the net where I'm not at all comfortable with anyone after the guys in the starting XI.
Najar will be hard to replace, but I'm not sure the falloff will be as drastic as a lot of people here are worried it will. Yeah, they're going to miss his ball skills and distance shooting (even though he didn't score last year) and certainly there's not another FB on the roster who can take over a game like he could from time to time. I think (hope) either Russel or Korb can hold down the position well enough. I hope...but last night Convey's activity pinned Korb back so his speed and overlapping were neutralized and Convey's impressiveness notwithstanding, that was disappointing. And, of course, Russel was who Convey abused on the goal.
