That play would never work for DC United. First of all, Salihi’s team was quick in transition and had numbers forward. You can’t do that when your forwards are defending the top of the midfield diamond. DC United didn’t score 22 goals in 34 games by TRYING to push players into the 18!
Salihi was making DP money without DP production. Pajoy, while not as productive, cost about 1/3 as Salihi.
Both were terrible. But I suppose you could say that, given Pajoy’s production (33 games/5 goals) was less bad for the money when compared with Salihi’s production (22 games/6 goals).
since you like statistics…check how many minutes they each played
you’ll get a clearer picture of the situation
better yet actually watch them
there are plenty of better fwds than Hamdi but LP is NOT one of them
Ben Olsen and Dave Kasper are morons. That is the only reason Salihi was never given a fair shot. They will both be gone before the season is done and DCU is out of the playoffs early again.
agreed. I never understood why we offloaded him and Maicon Santos. Both could score goals. Now the team scores 0 (well,here’s hoping EJ and Espindola can change that).

DOOOONNNNN’T CAAAAAAAAARRRRRRREEEE
This is what our game winning goal against Portugal in the WC will look like!
You can almost see the wheels turning in his head as the ball approaches. Planning and execution were both brilliant.
Israeli League, sometimes amazing
Great goal, but not even the best bike of the weekend. Benteke’s was sublime.
Yes Benteke’s was better
It burns. It burns/
good thing we kept Pajoy over this guy. lets see some videos of Pajoy tracking back into midfield instead.

DC United did not give this guy a full chance. He was scoring goals even when he was only coming in for limited minutes.

Can’t say I’m too sad too see Maicon Santos gone.
Because your coach is a dork.
What was missing last year was Boskovic and Salihi. Boskovic was a class midfielder.
