Manchester United’s 6-3 defeat in the Manchester derby was a crushing blow, but it highlighted one of United's key issues under Erik ten Hag, a lack of rotation. After 4 successive Premier League wins, including games against Arsenal and Liverpool, confidence was high. Manchester City’s brilliance certainly contributed to the capitulation that the Reds showed […]

The summer friendly season kicked off today when DC United hosted Eredivisie champs Ajax at RFK stadium. Ajax, a week after their impressive 3-1 win over FC Twente, trotted out five starters from last week's match and played a total of ten starters from a week ago.  DC was without the services of Charlies Davies […]

I will be the first to admit that my proximity to RFK Stadium may color my biases a little bit.  But after seeing DC United's press release on their latest friendly, I have to be impressed with this club.  Despite playing in less than stellar facilities and finishing last in MLS last season, the club […]

Jan Molby is a player that I have a lot of time for. The Danish footballer was a maestro in midfield. While he's best remembered as being a pivotal player for Liverpool during his time there between 1984 and 1996, he has a special place in my heart for being a pioneer with the club […]
