Saturday saw some strange things on the pitch for RSL. Justen Glad as a right back? Herrera pulling a Lennon?
Overall it was not what was expected for the match and was hopefully just trying some new things in preseason, not a foreshadowing of lineups in the regular season. Maybe it is just me but after watching Jurgen Klinsmann experiment with positions on the U.S. men’s national team, and Jeff Cassar and Mike Petke’s liberal use of the idea of getting best players on the pitch regardless of the position, maybe it would be nice for the Freddy Juarez era to not fall back into that pattern and actually play players in their preferred positions.
