@CommonBayTakes@SJEarthquakes That isn’t a bad shout, I think letting Judd tire out the CB’s then letting Johnson be the clean up guy is smart but with Timo out and Niko out we can play him on the left, Bouda in the right and Beau, as a CAM. With Harkes and Ronnie in the CDM position
@KennethSLV@KaseyKazliner I’d assume so, but I think Jamar Ricketts played fairly well compared to players like Victor Costa and Paul Marie, who previously played on the left side. Don’t get me wrong, both players have had a decent amount of experience at the club but it’s time for youth to shine. IMO.
@SJEarthquakes Not mad at this change at all I like that Bruce is giving Ricketts the opportunity to make his push into the starting 11. I think it will be a great and allow Arango to play higher up the pitch.
@TectonicTakes It is very apparent that he has sharpened his tool in the final third. You can see he has found his stride and confidence and is comfortable with his role on this team. Last year it was rough for him, lacked a lot of mental strength and ability to capitalize on chances.
