Enrique on the bench if the midfield is shite and move up Zog.

Surprised Anal didn't throw in a comment about Oba needing to be sold too.

And what is Oliver's obsession with getting rid of Oba?

Seen a couple of the matches. Ecstatic is an understatement, when I have seen Onyewu's performances. Poor. Thankful, we did not pursue him. He really looks out of depth.

Didn't Given have an own goal last year?

Spot on. Roeder found a real gem. Haven't been able to watch many of the matches this year, but I have enjoyed watching Martins start to adapt to the English game. I had some of the same thoughts last fall watching Owen with our squad. Owen's vision, touch, class was far above most of the rest of the squad. Really hope we don't blow it.

Thought he was average. Not a terrible debut. Definitely think the lad is worth the risk. I want to see his ability to lead and organize the defense. Since Woody left, we haven't been able to sort it out. The scousers will be a big test. Put a post in the post match section about soccernet.com's faulty post match report stating Gooch should have seen red and not Bumble.

Just read the match report on soccernet.com and it reports the Gooch was lucky not to see red for the tug on Helgusson. Wasn't it Bramble? Bad press for Gooch. Many are curious how the yank was going to do in his 1st match. Poor. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=199338&cc=5739

USA has a couple of friendlies coming up against Mexico (2/7), Ecuador (3/25) and Guatemala (3/28). They played Denmark recently without their European based players.
