I wouldn't be surprised to see him play with either Olum or Walker. Besides the midfield play has been so bad, I could see moving Taka back there just like Brown got moved back...it makes sense as he isn't a shoot first kind of option anyway. Knighton Scot, Knowles, JT, Griffin Taka, Potl, Brown, Guante Olum, Alverez Or if Taka is sitting (ie like Thurs) Knighton Scot, Knowles, JT, Griffin Olum, Potl, Brown, Guante Walker, Alverez Based on his impact in Atlanta, I assume after Taka’s off suspension after this week, I think he’s going to be sitting/impact sub or play some midfield.

I already know we suck (so what?); at least Byron will give me a reason to smile, whether or not the results start to go our way (which is interesting, because as tight as the table is, we reel off a couple straight wins - however unlikely that is - and we're right back in the thick of things).

If it's help us squeak into the playoffs - probably Alvarez will do that. It depends on what you mean by “save the season”. If it’s help us squeak into the playoffs – probably Alvarez will do that.
