He does everything correctly. For his size, he's great in the air. He's a hard worker, good passer and a great finisher. Just a very, very good player. |
He serves a good ball and is a good passer, ... We have a few things to work on but he can play football. |
He's really matured over the last 18 months, with Canada and with San Jose, |
I am looking forward to these two weeks with the squad. It's not often we get a chance to have our players for an extended training camp prior to a friendly, so from that perspective, this is a welcome opportunity. |
I hadn't come on board yet. Spencer would have been a nice one to have, but we got Landon [Donovan], so it worked out well for everyone. |
I thought we broke well and created some great chances. As a coach, you can't ask for more. |
I thought we had a great performance and got a great result in a foreign country. We changed our system ... and flooded the midfield to try to spring our forwards wide. It allowed us to attack and defend effectively. |
It's a great victory for us. |
It's an amazing squad they've got. Our guys really dug in, hung in there for a little bit and started to play their football. Basically we played very well and the crowd was appreciative of it and they were pleased for us. |
Landon has a knack of knowing when it really matters, ... Is that a sense of timing or a really good player? I don't know what it is but he has it: 2001 playoff run, playoff run this year, 2002 World Cup, we could go on and on and on. For the big games he'd done it. |
Over a season, he's very much the most consistent goalkeeper in the league. |
Pat's always a guy you can rely on. |
That consistency now is allowing him to really flourish and do his thing. He looks a fantastic player right now. |
That was probably the best game I've ever been involved in, ... It was definitely the best game I've seen in MLS history. |
