Héctor Herrera

And they're playing like six guys over the age of 30.

I mean, Hector Herrera didn't score a wonder goal, but that dude knows what he's doing out there and can control a game in midfield, even if he's got less athletic ability in his 30s.

So which of these guys, when you're just getting a glimpse of them, do you really think, hey, there's some real upside here? Because I've heard you say this about young players, you know, in two years Andres Gomez is going to be one of the top two wingers in the league.

And I remember looking at you thinking, geez, Pablo, you could have said top 10.

Yeah, just a few things about Usain's midfield.

I had to give credit to 36-year-old Hector Herrera as well as Archer.

They were just rock-solid veteran midfielders that were constantly on the ball in this match and keeping things humming.

They were the double pivot that was pretty much a metronome, and A, keeping the ball away from Charlotte and trying to bait out that press as they back pass to the center backs and back to goalkeeper Jonathan Bond.

We've got Inali, one of the fastest guys in the MLS.

We've got Hector Herrera, one of the best midfielders the league has ever seen.

Why aren't we trying stuff? But on the road, you don't try as much.

So I was surprised that Jake wasn't more like, Hey, they put their heads down, they got to work, and they did it.

They bring in Antonio Griezmann and instantly they're contenders.

We're in second place.

We don't have any name on the sheet that people recognize outside of Hector Herrera.

And we're going to keep it that way.

Yo

platicaba con Héctor Herrera y me decía, es en el equipo en que menos he jugado y es en el que más contento

estoy.

Se tuvo que ir, evidentemente, a la MLS porque quería jugar, pero estaba contento, satisfecho, con los pocos minutos que tenía.

I think Duncan McGuire can maybe hopefully come back into his own, right? But I am worried about where – where this team starts creating from now.

I think it's Hector Herrera and Mateus Boguch are going to have a lot on their shoulders now of what they have to do.

And me saying you have to rely on Hector Herrera at this point.

How

old is Hector Herrera now? He

has to be 36.

I'll really quick.

Thank you.

They've got a pretty base midfield that has been pretty consistent when they're humming and playing well and is probably vital into some of that defensive solidity.

Archer is one of those holding midfielders, along with Hector Herrera.

On the right side of defense, we've got a guy in Lawrence Inali who has played a little fullback, played a little wing, and likes to get up into the tack.

Lone Striker and Mateus Boguch.

Well, they kind of said they did.

It was going to be Hector Herrera's replacement in the double pivot, and then he sort of lasted...

Only a handful of games in that spot, and they immediately moved him into the attack.

And now the shape has changed a little bit this season under Ben Olsen, and sometimes he's been in midfield, sometimes he's been a little bit further wide on that right side.
