Playing our game

PATIENCE HAS to
be the key in playing a
team like Portland
Timbers, and when we
take the field against
them later this af-
ternoon, we will be
patiently determined to
come away with our
third consecutive win.

Any team which plays a
tight defensive game always
creates problems for the
other side, and of course, we
were no exception last

- Saturday when we outplayed

Portland in almost every
category, then had to settle
for an overtime win.

The big thing we have to
do this afternoon is_ to
remember to play our own
game and not get trapped
into trying to do something
suly to escape the tight man
to man marking.

What Timbers do, and of
course they won their first
two games of the season on
the road by doing it, is to use
a 4-4-2 which is a stifling
system that tnes to lock up
and deny us the midfield.

That type of play gives us

AT

two options, both of which
we tried last weck. We can
have David Harvey kick
upfield for Big Kay Hankin
to bring down. but that
created the problem. of
trying to pick up the ball.
The tight marking makes it
extremely difficult to move
onto the balls thai Ray was
bringing down.

The other system, and
probably the mas! effective,
is to move the bail through
the midfield - a sh..rt passing
game and patient build up
moving in deep.

This method yz:\es us the
added advantage of usually
being in their half of the field
if we should happen to lose
control. Far better to be in
their end of the field than
our own.

And Timber's goal against
us is a good example. That
was a case where we lost the
ball deep in our own end
when our defense all tried to
pull an offside trap without
anybody directing it. It
didn’t work. We heard about
it at the half.

The Timber style does not
make for an attractive game
and it’s usually used by a
team that may have trouble
moving the ball forward in
attack.

It's not easy trying to
understand their thinking,
especially in North America
where teams are awarded
bonus points for goals and

the Timbers style. to date,

has been to keep the score
down.

However, they may try
and move out more agaimst
us this afternoon. After all,
it’s their first home game and
I'm sure they don't want to
bore their fans for a full 90
minutes.

See you in a couple of
weeks.
