I hope Gaston can start getting minutes again soon and quickly get back to where he was. He was really starting to play well in the last couple of games before he got hurt. He has more upside at left wing than Angulo, who will probably end his loan after the season anyway, and is a terrific crosser. Ojeda has games like this every now and then and then disappears for the next 3-4, so I’m eager to see if he can build some consistency. I’m also interested in seeing if this performance by Enrique is a one-off or the start of more good things to come.

I totally agree with you Hoganisme.

He has a much higher potential than Pereyra these days, but is inconsistent (and for some reason they like him outside). Angulo (despite his inability to pick a final pass to save his life) is undroppable with his speed and chaos. Torres, well this game is a blowout (the wrong way) if he doesn’t come on tonight.

I thought if McGuire wasn’t ready (or just as rotation in NY) it might be interesting to stick him false-9 up top, but despite his promise he’s not consistent enough to push anyone out right now. Not really Pareja’s style tho, and even if it was Enrique kinda stuck a dagger in that.

And this is a “problem” that will get worse if Gonzalez is ready and can get firing since he also returned to the bench last night… Pareja likes his starters and pretty much rotates only when forced to. I agree that it’s a shame his skills can’t be better used, but I don’t see a path to doing it right now. (And I suspect it means Angulo’s loan is likely to be allowed to expire at the end of the year…)
