The best American based left back is still Kelley O’Hara.

Yup……we disagree. I saw Korb as the weak link. Not sold on this player at all. Useful roster depth. But that’s it.

Obviously, I disagree, but I’m glad you brought it up. It’s unclear Korb’s going to start, but based on what we saw at the end of last year, I decided to slot him in at 10.

Korb isn’t even the best Left Back on his team……that would be Daniel Woolard.

“Sinovic was a free agent in May of 2011 and was exposed in expansion later that year. Now he’s one of the top four left backs in the league? It’s hard to argue he should be much lower than this.”

–

In fact I think it’s pretty easy to argue he should be higher. SKC’s system requires the wide backs to provide the width for the team, and to do a lot of double-duty, with an average position somewhere near the halfway line. If you can play that high pressure 4-3-3 and come in 1st place, your wide backs are going to have to be pretty good, and SKC’s are.

I think Ashe is pretty underrated as a LB. He has really grown into that position and is a stable/key part of freeing up Brad Davis.
