Chalov being subbed off due to injury. Great. Sounds like Balde is coming on for him as a CF

Meniscus tear is the diagnosis. Will be out for over a month, if not longer.

Didn’t get a chance to watch. How did we play? What style? New tactics?

After the game Lisci did say they had literally had only one training session where he tried to instill tactics, so I'm not sure there was much to see there. Been a few days and my memory is hazy, but from what I recall he played what looked like a 4-3-3 to me, with a lot of pressure in the opposing half (very offense-minded). I have read he doesn't like the deep balls as much as a short passing game but, again, we were playing against a pretty bad team with very little preparation on our own.

As far as the quality of the play...very dominant, but again not a surprise there. Zafeiris looked great. My sweet baby boy Balde also looked good.

I'm pretty sure that link should still work for a replay btw, as it was just on youtube. Their page also has the next set of games already up as pending so should be easy for us to find them next time too.

Wouldn't be surprised if this first half lineup is who we actually end up with in our first real game

-edit- here is the lineup. Thymianis is now in for Sarris, who got injured a few minutes in to the game. At this rate we won't make it to Christmas.

Goals really starting to come in now. Camara's was an absolute rocket

Sarris tore his ACL.

Thymianis injured but it is probably a minor thing.

Devastating news for the kid.
