Thanks for the training pics. Glad to knwo the guys are working hard to get ready for this weekend. I believe these pics are showing us that the focus for today's training session were: marking; applying pressure correctly; positioning; making runs with and without the ball; and, ability to get onto the end of crosses. I hope one-touch and two-touch passing were also practiced and drilled on. Remember, if Columbus place Emmanuel Ekpo on right, Robbie Rogers on left, and Alejandro Moreno & Eddie Gaven up-top... then, these four constitute a constant dangerous threat around the 18-yeard box. Again, I know we have to keep our defensive shape, positioning, and formation paramount... but, we have got to get in attacking and counter runs in as well - and, we've got to do it plenty of times - not just like four times in a whole match. Come on, LA Galaxy team - you guys are at home... let's play very hard and very commandingly to get those three points!!!
