VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 9 – Marky Delgado
Highest: 6 Lowest: 14 Average ranking: 9.68 Tony: 10 – Entirely unspectacular – and that’s ok! Once you stop looking for Delgado to be another Vazquez or Cheyrou, you can appreciate that he does plenty of basic things quietly right. A less fiery (again, ok) version of Osorio, Delgado comes in to steady that area of the midfield. Like a handy wrench. Marky Mark Marco Marcus Delgado. His first name confusion is almost...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 10 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest: 6 Lowest: 13 Average ranking: 10.72 Duncan: 13 – 2016 was an alright year for Osorio, without being the big leap forward we might have hoped for, could that happen in 2017? Not really no. He started the season in the first team, but was in and out as Vanney tried to figure out how to come up with a team that worked well with Vazquez. Good news: He did. Bad news for Osorio: It was when Marky Delgado was tried in...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 11 – Steven Beitashour
Highest: 7 Lowest: 20 Average ranking: 10.8 Mark: 11 – He is the right back we wanted and the right back we deserved. Or was he a winger? He played like a winger. He was, arguably, the right sided version of Justin Morrow. Well, was. He’s left us for a better place. Weather-wise, anyways. Steven Beitashour, formerly of Toronto and now of Los Angeles FC, had a very good season, earning with five assists and a very good...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 12 – Eriq Zavaleta
Highest: 4 Lowest: 18 Average ranking: 12.6 Tony: 11 – It’s not Eriq’s fault who he’s related to! Despite that – he has turned into a very useful MLS defender capable of eating minutes as a starter or offering fresh legs from the bench. Not spectacular in any way, but rarely hurts you either. We crack wise on the VMP about the awkward family dinners after Greg Vanney has benched his nephew Eriq Zavaleta, but truth...
Episode 219 – 18/01/17 #WhoAreYa
After last week’s momentous news, Mark had to rest his hamstring so is SuperMissing for this SuperEpisode. Tony? well, we’ll let you know when he can make one. Kristin and Duncan bravely soldier on though, helped out by SuperSub Duane Rollins. Nothing big to talk about this week, so instead we talk about a bunch of little things, of varying relevance, Beitashour, pre season, Voyageurs cup, Young Nana, Kyle Bekker, Cyle...
