Dallas - Postmatch
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Playoffstatus.com is already updated and has us as 78% 1st, 15% 2nd and 7% 3rd. So basically 1st or 2nd barring a complete collapse.
Legs are gonna be trashed after that match and a long flight back. Better have cryo tanks on the plane and start the PT/recovery massage.
Not sure about that one. Maybe, but Tony Rocha told his parents he was headed to the hotel.
Tinnerholm was not on the bus with the team after the match.
In normal conditions we get another goal and don't fade so quickly. It's impossible to travel there and play your best. All things considered, Dallas deserved a goal and it was our captain that gave it to them. A point is fair there. Beat ATL and We'll be golden.
The Audi Index [assume usual disclaimers] says the top player for both teams was Tinnerholm, who played just 23 minutes. The best player for Dallas was Pomykal, who subbed on for Servania and played 62. The play of the game, apparently, was the collision between Tinnerholm and Servania that knocked Tinnerholm out of the game and brought Pomykal in.

This game reminded me of South American qualifiers played in La Paz (12,000 feet) where the visiting team dominates the first 30 minutes because of superior ball skills, and then runs out of lungs and legs and get pummeled against the ropes by the Bolivians for the next 60. It really was two matches, and the first 30 where sublime by NYCFC.
I looked at the possible handball that was reviewed in the last minue. It was properly not called a handball, but it might have been different if the new rules were in effect.
This.
The manner in which we gave up the tying goal is infuriating and shouldn't happen. That said, Dallas was bossing the whole second half I felt probably should have come away with 3 points. I'll take the draw from this one.
You can't even watch the game. No one sits on the side of the field facing the tv camera because the seats are too hot. Everyone was packed behind the benches.
Besides Maxi, he may be our most important player due to the lack of depth at RB. Nobody else on our team provides what he can going forward on the right flank. And with all the cross-field switches we do to the right side, losing Tinny really hurt.
Losing him easily changed the game. Rocha and Miller are just horrible and it was almost immediately after we lost Tinny we lost 90% of our offensive presence. Mitri, Maxi, and Taty barely saw the ball from that point forward. I'm honestly surprised Dallas didn't go down our left side in attack more often. I guess there offensive buildup goes solely through Barrios, as it seemed he was constantly being fed the ball even when he had minimal to no space to do anything with it.
Shout out to Miller for managing to meg himself while trying to tackle Barrios and somehow not giving up a PK.
Hoping Tinny's okay and will be back soon. Solid head to head contact there unfortunately. With the injury though and Dome hopefully seeing that Miller is inept in defense for us, I'm hoping this is the chance Scally gets for some minutes. Won't happen, but a Forumite can dream.
