[quote=Anonymous]You know when you want an experienced player like Morgan or Rapino on your team is when you are in one of those really tight and aggressive games where the newbies get a little lost in the excitement and haven’t yet found their voice to keep the team focused and settled. When things don’t go quite right somebody has to keep the faith and ensure others grind it out.  It very well may be what players like that can say at opportune times that can make a big difference in a game that is otherwise an ugly result.  Unfortunately those players have to be selected not simply based on their age and experience but their ability to be that person in that moment.  I don’t always see Morgan being particularly vocal on the pitch (she might be otherwise at other times) and I tend to sense that while Rapino was vocal in many important ways off the pitch she sometimes slid into a leader who tried to force the game through her own play, which in her later years just couldn’t really pull off as well.
