Im very nervous for our back line this week. Kei Kamara is no slouch and he will for sure be a threat on the ground and in the air.
 
It's going to be difficult to comment on roster decision by Kreis following this game until we see the result versus LA, but if we lose or tie, I'm still going to be pissed and rant about it.
 
There is a strong need of a player giving rithm and pace to defence.

On Poku: I'd rather prefer him (trequartista?) moving always with his shoulders to Saunders (instead of Giovinco that has a stiff neck and always starts his runs shoulders to the opposite post).
But Poku has only three topics:
he runs for straight lines
he swerves to left
he passes/crosses with right foot (I don't see him using left foot that much).

If LA has a mean video analyst, Poku could have some troubles.
 
We have 10 games left to get 18 points Poku to make it to 45 and a very likely playoff spot. Six of the ten games are must win. This one isn't.

That said, we'll all be a lot happier and less anxious with a win.

Side note: traveling this week. Called all the local sports bars. None of them carry an MLS package. Bought MLSLive yesterday. Very happy I'll get to watch on Wednesday.

I am traveling too. Have thought about MLS Live, but I don't know how to stream it to my parent's TV. They have an Amazon Fire Stick, but nothing else foe connecting a phone or computer.
 
Columbus has the better record now but we are the better team now. They lost one of their effective starting 11 because of homesickness and in the summer transfer window added Harrison Aful and Gaston Sauro (FC Basel) and traded for Jack McInerney. We added Angelino, Iraola, Lampard, Pirlo and Mena and haven't lost anyone who would be starting tomorrow. Kamara is great, but Hernandez has matched up against him many times in MLS and I think Mena physically matches up well with him too. We should get 4 or 6 points in the home/away to stay in the hunt for the playoffs.
 
As each day is getting closer and closer , I am getting sicker and sicker. This will be the first match that I can not watch live. I will be fishing so that helps a little but still a little saddened lol

I will be watching on computer. No way to connect to the TV at my rental house.

I like your delusional optimism.

In fact, I share it. COYBIB!!
 
I also watched about 30 mins of the 5-2 ORL beatdown a couple of weeks ago. The Crew defense was terrible and we are better than the Lions.

I think it all depends on what line up Kreis rolls out and what team shows up, the team from 1st half or the team from the 2nd half against DC.
 
For $35 a chrome cast stick can solve that for you. Assuming the TV at the rental house has an HDMI port.
You can also do that with an Apple TV. It's bigger than a Chromecast stick but I've tossed mine in my backpack when traveling just to watch matches when I was away. That's the entire reason I got an MLS Live subscription.

I'd take the team from the 1st half vs DC over 80% of our first halves and maybe 50% of our second halves this year. The second half was better but the first half was solid. Even though we were down at halftime again I felt confident we were going to win. Nothing like, for instance, the absolutely shameful first half vs Montreal.

Sweet! Thanks. I'll go grab one today.

And you also need a computer with the Chrome browser on it, and it and the Chromecast device must be on the same WiFi network. Some phone/tablet apps can also "cast" to the Chromecast device. I'm not sure if the MLS app is one of them.
