Surprised, but very pleasantly surprised.
Italiano will need to have the game of his life.
Ridenton is not really a DM. WeeMac certainly isn't. Ljujic isn't here for his defending. Rossi and Dura are probably the slowest CB combo in the league against the quickest attack. Mullen isn't a RB.
Goals galore incoming
agreed with all of this pre-game - post game I was quite impressed with Ridenton at DM, he did very little with the ball but for large parts of the game he shut down the jets front men pretty well.
