I got a little bit back tonight. There was no question that there'd be an entertainment value to the switch. But Hudson also improved the Fusion's on-field results. Hudson has them laughing and playing well in Miami. That's a tough combination to beat.
Coaches fall in love with certain formations the same way many people choose their spouses.
Sometimes things work out for the long term. Other times they prove to be just a passing fancy. New England head coach Fernando Clavijo, a progressive thinker, has been trying to acquire the type of players that can play that system since taking over the Revolution reigns before last season. Injuries have limited Clavijo's choices so far, but based on the first two games, I doubt that they possess the kind of players that can play that system effectively. I believe that Mauricio Wright is New England's best player.
