Colin, I agree with your 4-4-2 assessment.

And do did Bruce. He switched out of that 4-5-1 after about 25 minutes.

Watched the first half until the 40th minute (snuck in a little time while moving to a new house), and I guessed I missed one of the best free kicks from Becks in a while.

2-1 is definitely respectable, considering the god awful 4-5-1 formation and the fact that Barca was playing in front of a home crowd, essentially.

I think the 4-4-2 lineup with Donovan up top is the best one for us for the rest of the season…

I came across this nice article about the game.

I’m glad Gonzalez got a jersey after all – hopefully next time he’ll have the nerve to ask someone to exchange with him. He’s earned it!

Oh, right, I saw that in the highlights. That looked like it HURT.

Ricketts didn’t practice all week. Still trying to recover from slamming his back on the goal post in the KC game.

Question: Why wasn’t Ricketts playing? Just giving The Kid some experience? Or did Ricketts play first half while I wasn’t watching?
