Weekend
DC United will finally get a chance to return to something approaching a normal routine this weekend, with morning training sessions at the usual time at the RFK Stadium auxiliary fields on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'm looking to catch at least one or two of those sessions and share some observations and reactions right here at CIP.
And there are plenty of questions to ponder looking ahead to Tuesday's Champions Cup second-leg match at RFK...
United clearly need to improve their fluidity and possession -- and do MORE with it, too, by creating and finishing more scoring chances. I think it's wise to assume there will be no Jaime Moreno on the field on Tuesday. Who will hold the ball for them, then? If Gallardo keeps dropping deep to receive the ball (in some cases within spitting distance of the fullbacks), can they really be as dangerous going forward as last season's squad? With a hamstrung captain and the series balanced at 1-1 on aggregate, what is the team's psyche like? Might the Black-and-Red even find themselves in a position to be...dare we say it...nervous?
