Positives first:
James Sands!!! good for him to get a start and actually play well enough that I know we are all going to be bitching about him not starting for the rest of the season
Mata as an 8!! holy crap such a different player, able to cover for sweat, lay off some KILLER passes (too bad we can't finish) and has his defensive liabilities mostly nullified
Creating chances! we actually did create quite a bit (20+ shots has to have some positive to it)
Negatives:
Amagat's sub was STUPID! dude sucks and taking away an attacker, then going down is not good looks
The defense was not together, back to Callens bonehead stuff, and we should have stopped the attack leading to the goal much sooner (only negative for sands because he wasn't aggressive enough at the top of the box I think..?
I get the logic for not starting Lewis, but 1 he needs a chance and 2, if he is subbed in he needs more than 15 minutes, so unfair to judge him from so little time and expecting him to break the game open every time
David Villa (and Taty to an extent) was SOOOOOO selfish this game people needed to make that one last pass for an easy goal but no villa tries to pull some magic out of his ass and wastes many good attacks. Really want Berget to get better soon.
Goddamn, we should not have lost this game, we can't take the playoffs for granted at this point (Dallas much) something needs to change, fire dome, or start Lewis, or do something. We have so few games left before the playoffs and we need to turn this around or we are going down in flames entering the playoffs and will be easy fodder for a surging team just making the playoffs.
