Puig out until at least late summer, Paintsil out for several weeks and Ramirez is a downgrade from Joveljic. Pec will be fine, but creating offense outside of him will be tough sledding for a while once the team gels with Ramirez.
I don't mind starting Micovic and he looks more confident playing the ball with his feet than McCarthy. Problem is when you're confident with your feet is that you're more likely to try riskier passes which that pass to Garces was. Keepers who know they aren't good with their feet never have problems just getting rid of it when the situation demands it. I suspect Vanney was hoping that Micovic could finally cement himself as the starter, but this outing shows he's still not there yet.
