I think this quote from Howard yesterday means a lot.

quote:

“For me it’s very easy, if Landon is on the field, he’s [one of] our top one or two players,” he said prior to Monday’s training session. “That’s just my opinion. Whether it means anything or not, I don’t know. Landon is humble. But for me, he’s easily one of our best players and he strikes fear into opponents.


I also remember Baby Bradley saying something similar when Landy rejoined the A-Team for the Costa Rica qualifier.

I have a feeling that if Jurgen leaves him off, some high ranking players won't be too happy. I'm not saying they will revolt or anything like that, but we all know a good WC squad is about chemistry as much as talent and if a player that a lot of other players respect is left off, the chemistry may take a hit.

That's a big reason that Landon won't get left off. But, also, when we are tied up 1-1 70 minutes into a match and Jozy has been running his arse off and wearing down our opponents CB's.... Landon comes on, and with his experience and vision, All it takes is one great run or pass by him and he's free or someone else is.

yup. bradley is 1 and landon is 2. dempsey is the most overrated player we have IMO, but that can be another thread.

to the guy that thinks it might be a bad thing to run play through landon, that just baffles me. it will go through bradley and hopefully landon as well and that's exactly what we should want.

i also don't quite understand what games some of you guys are watching where landon isn't a definite starter for this team. im sure someone will be like, "diskerud had a great year in norway" or some shite like that. give me a fricking break.
