Away - November 21 - Orlando - Round One (Postgame)

most everyone played well. maxi did not. poor sub selection and timing by Ronny, imho and that changed the game.

man of the match for us - Medina. had a stellar game and his PK was solid. He's really come into his own and that's about the only thing I give Ronny credit for.

Poor refereeing by Chapman. But this has to be on Deila, right? Sure, Medina, Parks, and Taty could have converted chances. But Anton Tinnerholm is pulled at 90+5', you put in Seb and then Joe Scally comes in on 120+1'? No attack on the right after Tinnerholm was pulled.

Only a yellow...
Only a yellow...
Finally a red...

lol stop this maxi slander. Team plays worse without him. I think we only have like 3 wins without him. If you want him replaced in offseason that’s another discussion.

taty was not taty we knew but GMS struggled too they didn’t do the combos that we normally saw in past few games.
The week off hurts this team, last year and this year.

deila sucks in his subs I don’t know why he took forever in second half and also taking out the starters. That hurt lots. I knew this game was gonna suck once we went up a man since we don’t know how play with man up and our year long offensive struggles
 
Also this game will make the world headlines, not so much for the game but the terrible refs and that penalty fiasco.

I am not saying maxi is a bad player. but he played poorly THIS game. Subbing him off now cause he's having an off game doesn't mean I think we should bench him. I think we could have performed better with Parks at the CAM and acevedo and Ring as double 6s. Our midfield strength has always been the key to our success.

Ronny taking off starters that didn't need it killed our rhythm and flow.

Poor reffing for sure. Not only the bad calls during the game and lack of control, but the fiasco during the shootout. that alone should have him suspended or demoted or whatever PRO does. it's inexcusable for the entire ref crew + VAR didn't know wtf was going on.

true, but Acevedo is not trusted by deila, seen that all year and today won’t help either for CCL and maybe not even next year.
 
Tinnerholm went out for possible concussion. If anything he should have been out sooner even though it killed us.

But criticizing Deila for that sub is incomprehensible.

i'm ok with Anton coming off for medical reasons. should have been sooner for sure. but he should have brought on Scally, not Ibby. we lost all right width attack with ibby.
