Hopefully for
Portland’s Boss Caleb Porter seeing how the pieces are coming together in his
initial eleven, will be a sign of that much needed and coveted recovery.
No one has seen a
tough start since this squad inception in Major League Soccer, but this 2015
has seen many squads driven to perfection as well making this campaign as one
very seriously speaking as: tough, competitive and difficult.
Unfortunately for the
Portland Timbers this season has seen a lot of lows and very few highs,
especially with many of its key players being in the DL list, among them
some of their top performers who spark their game.
So far the return of
Diego Valeri to the lineup is seen with a welcoming gesture and with lots of possible hopes ahead- in what will the championship and the overall competition will
bring on along to face the Open and Cascadia Cups with more confidence.
For the Portland
Timbers to net both of these shields as well give its Manager a satisfaction and
reward for his time in Rose City, very well for this campaign, by making the
ultimate of miracle’s and efforts as well to net a position for the always
fought off league postseason.
Still those odd and
tough results being a thing in the past, once again will become a
serious contender as well start generating their well known dynamic, dangerous and
effective game, something that these boys are best known for.
Especially in one
area that this squad has been lacking is in its offensive side that hasn’t performed as
expected, but for striker Faneando Adi and Maxi Urruti both couldn’t be so
happy to see the return of their Andean teammate.
This squad offensive
attack can be a serious threat to the top squads as well if manager Porter can
put these chaps in the lineup more often in Dairon Aspirilla and George Fochive-
who really can deliver a much speedy game with their new point man Ishmael Yartey.
As Diego Valeri is
making a lot of positive advances in this squad more needed area of attack as
well one top rated man in Will Johnson hopefully coming to the lineup this weekend against
Toronto FC, this will be seen as a step in the right direction. 
These Rose City Boys
can start netting important wins as well move up in the Western Division table,
if their passions alongside their drive to excellence can possess them in their
upcoming compromises.
There’s no need to bring
a multimillion dollar superstar to play at Providence Park that at the end can
become a bust, as this squad current roster many talents can make things happen
in a flash and a with decisive resolve.
Nothing is missing in
this initial eleven but with a drive to consistency as well to generate a more
furious and bring out more aggressiveness in their attack, their chances for success and excellence
will be seen very soon.
