In his first five starts, Tim Melia replaced Luis Marin providing confidence, stability, and highlight reel saves in the back for Sporting Kansas City. It has changed the level of play all over the field and the club find themselves on a 6 game unbeaten run. Whether he is actually this good, or it is just a hot streak, Melia has all the tools you want in a player.
The tradition of keepers in KC has talked about a lot the past few years. When a replacement was needed for Jimmy Nielsen and then again this off season when Kronberg and Gruenebaum didn’t work out.
