Greg Hurst

Is it Chris Shakes? It could be.

Is it Greg Hurst? It

isn't.

Valentin Noel? No.

I think they are unbelievably good on the ball.

That is largely due to how they use Hamalainen, how they use Keller, how they use Gloucester, how they incorporate Greg...

Craig Hurst was playing as a midfielder for New Mexico.

I don't think Dennis Sanchez likes his midfielders.

There was a cooling effect at the end of the year, and this is where that first x-axis that I was talking about earlier really started to play into mind with some of the forwards.

I just couldn't ignore it.

I would have preferred a Greg Hurst, I think, to Mendes, personally.

Crazy it is for me to say this.

Charlie Dennis scoring twice here, continuing a strong run that has seen him contribute to three of United's five goals over the past week.

Greg Hurst added the third.

It was two goals in the first half, 2-0 going into the second half.

And then Hurst scored to make it 3-0.

Yeah.

From Charlie Dennis and Greg Hurst too.

Remember when those guys played in Phoenix?

Remember the one who's still technically under contract and he's loaned out.

They made their own errors.

Rising's Backline made their own errors in that moment.

But it's still a question of if you take him out, does another player maybe cause that same issue at the back? Do they have the same vision in that moment to pick out Greg Hurst? All of these things, we'll never know.

But when a guy punishes you, you kind of just have to accept that they punished you.

Yeah.

Is Charlie Dennis to Greg Hurst the exact nightmare that Bobby Doudly and Noah Brandon McCarthy woke up with at 3:00 AM and said, "What if this happens?"

[laughs]

And then it happens five seconds basically into the game in the grand scheme of it all?

It was a 2-1 win over Phoenix at the lab.

Greg Hurst gave United an early lead after Charlie Dennis released him on the counter.

Phoenix stayed in the match and equalized through Kelvin Arase in its 72nd minute following a corner.

The game still level late.
