Did we deserve a win? No.
Had RJ not fucked up would we have won? Yes.

Be shocked and ecstatic if we even manage a draw.
I have a solution. Go back to the Chanot-Brillant pairing and put Callens at left back because he's probably the best attacker on this team not named Villa. Or next year switch to a back three which is much more likely.A lot to not like tonight but overall it feels more like job well done to me. We defended Brilliantly (pun somewhat intended) remember when the consensus was that Fredric sucked? I still Chanot and Callens is the optimum pairing but it's gonna be tough to sit Brillant. We have three above average MLS center backs now after so long with none now if we can only do the same with the fullbacks...
PK situation was ridiculous of the 3 possible calls (RJ smashing BWP, The handball on Villa's header, and RJ taking down Little Finger) the only one given was probably the least deserving, God MLS refs suck.
They talked about it a couple of weeks ago on Soccer in the City but one of the reasons Brillant and Callens, and of course Chanot and Callens have been working so well together is Callens is a left sided, and left footed CB. Chanot has to play on his less preferred side when he plays with Brillant.I have a solution.

Twellman also said Ring has proven he can finish right after Ring sent his 17th shot over the crossbars and into the upper deck this season.Can I just say fuck Taylor Twellman. In I think the 40th minute Ring made a tackle and Twellman said "good tackle from Ring although he hasn't made much of an impact." HE WAS MY MAN OF THE MATCH
He's honestly worse than Lalas. At least Lalas can get over a bad call. When he mentioned the missed hand ball I was pissed more because I knew Twellman would start bitching for the rest of the game..Twellman also said Ring has proven he can finish right after Ring sent his 17th shot over the crossbars and into the upper deck this season.
THANK YOU. Twellman is the worst commentator in sports. Can't stand him.Can I just say fuck Taylor Twellman. In I think the 40th minute Ring made a tackle and Twellman said "good tackle from Ring although he hasn't made much of an impact." HE WAS MY MAN OF THE MATCH
