Real Salt Lake's adds have been big

How about Yura Movsisyan...He's been relentless in the attack and worked hard. He's a big part of the reason we are where we are. And to think we got him from Kansas City for two future draft picks. What a steal! Kansas City is hating themselves right now. HA HA

Yura Movsisyan did not join our team in the middle of the year. He has been with us since the beginning of this year, and I believe we actually got him last year. He has just not been a regular started for us.

I still think | 11:42 a.m. Nov. 11, 2008

Deuchar or Findley should get some chances in the starting XI.

I actually like Robbie Russell in the back more than Joy. I feel he is quicker and better at helping with the offense when he comes up. And the impact of Will Johnson is a no brainer. Oh, and Deseret News has way better coverage of RSL than the Tribe. Thank you for your work D news!

Please don't (think). Thinking like that would not see RSL where it is currently.

You really think Mathis deserves the start up front? When Findley has come in both games and ended up with wonderful attacks on goal. while Mathis has how many goals and assists? right ZERO NONE NADA NILCH. He's great at ball control I won't take that from him. but he's playing the striker position with ZERO NADA NILCH in the terms of goals. time to be replaced. Sorry. its just that simple. If YURA didn't score goals he would be replaced.

Mathis isn't | 5:31 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008

Mathis isn't playing striker. Go read old posts. He is playing as a second attacking mid in a diagonal position from Javi. He provides possesion for a team build for a narrow RES field, and distributes the ball well.

mathis | 6:38 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008

mathis is probably the only true skill player we have. he has composure and touch that most MLS players are desperately lacking. we definitely need him in our starting 11 regardless of whether he scores. we need quality soccer and mathis provides that. if only he were in better shape.

I really like Johnson and Russell. I can't believe that we got them. They have had an instant impact on the team. I know Johnson will get the start, but I also hope that Russell will get the start this weekend.

How is Mathis the only true skill player we have? Are you saying the Morales is not a true skill player? Please explain.

Enough about Mathis | 9:17 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008

I want to declare the end of discussion regarding Mathis. He is on the team. His play should speak for itself (I won't say whether it speaks well or not). I don't care anymore. We are in the Western Conference Championships. Breathe. Smile. Get excited. Let's talk about kicking some trash this Saturday, not about the philosophy of Mathis' position. I am bored with the talk. Go REAL. And since Mathis is on the payroll, go Mathis. Heck, even go Andy Williams. That one is very difficult for me to say.

I used to hate | 9:50 a.m. Nov. 12, 2008

Mathis, and Williams, and Movsisyan but then we stopped losing games. We also stopped letting other teams score late goals, so now I respect them. Also after I heard what Andy is goign through I have soooo much respect for him. I know lots of fans still haven't gotten over Mathis but the team has been better since we got him. So give it a rest already! We are much more composed and confident with Mathis in the starting 11.
