I used to like Viera but he just doesnt seem to get fired up or react to whats going on, he seems to start the game with a plan and refuse to adapt no matter whats happening. Other managers would be going nuts based on that performance but he just stood there looking dumb

What the hell was Callens thinking? I just don't understand how you can absolutely ruin the season by putting that elbow up.
Johnson, Harrison, Wallace, Sweat, and White were all terrible.
Maxi needs to be selfish and shoot the damn ball.
Villa never gave up, but it also meant that we got frustrated Villa who tried to do too much. Considering how everyone else was playing, I get it, but Crew was collapsing down on him since they knew he was the dangerous one.
I don't get the Okoli sub. Maybe it was to occupy the CBs so Villa could get some space, but he needed to be better.
I don't blame this on PV. Those wanting him fired seem crazy to me. He didn't make any weird choices with the XI. I get you could argue on the full backs, but they weren't crazy choices. He had Ring and Herrera playing more forward, and we were attack-minded. Down 1-0 at half with how many chances were missed wasn't a terrible result. And it sure as hell wasnt his fault that Callens lost his mind. The only thing I disagreed with is I wish we had packed it in at 3-1 and not tried to get another goal

I can’t understand why Vieria keeps playing Wallace when we have Lewis who plays well every time he’s given a chance
Two takeaways:
We love beds.
We really love to shit.

Imagine what we could have done if we gave Villa 2 other actual DPs to work with.
This match shows how flawed our team really is. Villa is a fucking beast but he is often relied on single-handedly to win games. Our entire team except Villa got the yips tonight and it showed. This offseason I want a stronger, more physical back line (one that doesn’t play like pussy ass bitches), and a faster midfield. And another scorer to help Villa.
One year and one week ago today, at Yankee Stadium, presented without comment
We've been on a downward slide for the latter 1/3 of the season. As we all know, you've got to be getting hot coming into the playoffs, and we've been cold for too long with our best work behind us.
Let's go down swinging.

I think it is concerning that so many guys had their worst game today. I'm taking about SJ, Callens, Maxi, Ring, Harrison... Your best players have to step up in the postseason. Not step IN it.
I want Viera back and some good aggressive signings in the winter. We have one more year with villa playing at such a high level (I hope)

With our track record, it's going to look like Toronto at YS again.
I don't think PV has earned the right to come back
And I need to see a financial commitment to this club on the field.

Wait.... Is that Shelton.... Actually scoring a decent goal?
This team is just too uneven. Johnson is a good goalie although today he hoovered in the 3rd badly. What you need is a DP in attack, in midfield and in defense. Unfortunately only 1/3 is fulfilled now. Villa's task is enormous, he needs to score from 4/5 or his chances to keep the team afloat, there's no support from attacking central midfield or wings, and Ring is asked to do a job of three, when he only can do the job of two. Harrison has faded, as so often happens with young players, Herrera is totally out of form (also a youngster), and the rest are also-rans. It's just not enough. This is quite a balanced consequence of the team and the season.
Cool, now we need Columbus to play like it’s a regular season match with no stakes, and them being at the bottom of the table.
PV got outcoached big time. CLB had a plan B, and let NYCFC have the ball and killed on the counter (even a man up). I still can’t believe a team with 10 men is trying to dominate the ball and press. Close up shop and leave it for leg 2.
I don't know why I question myself. All season long for 3 seasons, I tell everyone how we're shit because we are. Then, I let myself think, "well maybeeeee".
Damnit. When will I learn. I need to listen to myself when I spout off how shit we actually are.
I also need to give up being a fan. It kills my ability to not be pissed off at least 40% of the year.

You confident “slippery hands” Johnson is going to get a clean sheet on Sunday? No?
Ok, you just signed up for four goals to go into extra time. Stick a fork in the team. Done.
