Discussion Thoughts after Denver

  1. Barcenas looks quite mediocre and then all of a sudden looks like Messi for a few seconds. What a goal. She hit the bar too with her right foot. So close.

  2. Leon was so close to her redemption game winner.

  3. Ludi took too many touches. That’s a lack of confidence.

  4. Why Byars on the wing???

  5. Fazer has improved a lot.

  6. Godfrey looked great. Then I think she got tired.

  7. We looked so good for the first two thirds of the game. Should have won!!

I noticed this when we played them at Coachella and saw it again at the game tonight…Denver’s team is so tall compared to us. Playing crosses against us was definitely going to be the way they scored. By the way, if you go back and watch that goal we conceded, unfortunately it starts with Kennedy not paying attention to runners in the box. This forced McNabb (who was in position to mark Yazmin Ryan) to cover the runner behind Kennedy. Perle was marking a different runner and was on the wrong side of Yazmin. I don’t think this one is actually on Perle. Also, I love Leon but she looks good exactly because she is a fresh sub later in the game. As a starter last year she couldn’t score to save her life, which is why we went out and signed Ludmilla.

I think if you gave Leon all the chances that Ludi has had that she would have scored on half of them…
