With attacker Arturo Alvarez quickly coming into his own as a support forward, FC Dallas coach Steve Morrow says he's glad he made a switch concerning attacker Arturo Alvarez' positioning prior to the season.

Thanks to a slide up from left midfield, the U.S. Olympic hopeful has already notched two goals and two assists in five games this term - just one off of the corresponding full season totals from 2007.

"I looked at the qualities that Arturo's got and I wanted to get him higher up the field, and in more central areas and get him more freedom to roam around instead of being stuck out wide," Morrow told Soccer America.

"He's got great pace which we've been able to use effectively in behind defenses, too."
