Game vs. Martin Luther

4-0 I think, not a bad game. We came out tougher than we have been, scoring in the first five minutes, which was nice. I started at outside mid, played that for 30 minutes in the first half before getting subbed, started out there again for the second and moved to center with maybe 25 minutes left. I came off when the bench started getting subbed in en-masse, again with probably 15 minutes left.




So far this season I’ve played every position but for outside back, and I probably even played that for a few minutes at some point.




Outside mid feels kind of disjointed compared to playing in the center. I don’t think I got that many fewer touches than I normally would, probably slightly so, but there’s so much running up and back that it’s hard to stay in sync with everything else going on. Feels kind of lonely. Also it’s tough. All the running. I had a decent shot in the second half, one touch off a bad touch by a defender, but the keeper was on top of it. A few nice crosses too.
