Rate the U: No problem with lack of depth at forward

Saturday was suppose to have plenty of highlights from super sub Ilsinho night with the former player hitting the big drum to the home debut of Mikael Uhre. Well that was the thought until minutes before the selection was announced. That is when we learned that Uhre was unavailable due to a quad injury. This on top of the suspension of Juan Carranza made for a depleted attacking core.

As the game went on it would show that it really wasn’t a problem, even if the front two spent a time down on the pitch. Corey Burke and Sergio Santos exposed one of the issues with San Jose’s backline, they would easily be able to get behind them and were able to get plenty of one-v-one situations.
