In news that may come as a surprise, considering the hot and cold feelings around TFCLand regarding the Red’s newest DP, it seems the MLS Mothership has given the Wizard of Poz some love.
Today, the list of finalists for the MLS Awards dropped, and lo and behold, our #10 made the grade:
Alejandro Pozuelo has had a very interesting first year with the Reds. Despite coming into the playoffs at 12g/12a, I expected his performance to be overshadowed by other debutants around the league. After all, non-TFC lifers didn’t become volunteer scouts for the Jupiler Pro League over the offseason, and perhaps don’t filter his performance this season through the lens of “it’s actually his second proper season in a row”, so I’m pleased as punch to see him on this list.
