Several poor punches and poor positioning. I think we wouldn't have been under pressure on the 2nd ; he if he didn't punch like a granny on balls he could easily catch.

Hell no. Positionally he's all over the place in that DM role. Pirlo was having to sit so much further back at the start of the second half (the worst period of the game for us). Look at what Iraola does week in, week out to help the shape of this team, keep the ball ticking over, and let Pirlo get forward. Bravo just isn't there yet. He's young, and he'll learn, but I doubt it'll be with us.
May Lampard Day live in infamy. That was exciting! Way to f'n step it up. So proud of this club right now.
We win! Saunders sucks! Lampard scores a brace!
Ps - Villa may get suspended for that elbow he threw

Wow, that was just epic. So much beer thrown everywhere at those late goals.
Thought the crowd seemed good tonight and the supporters section was electric - the extra half dozen people I brought had the time of their lives and will surely be coming back.
It's gonna take a lot to wipe this smile off my face.

Dude, coming home from that game and complaining about Saunders' punching is like coming home from D-Day and calling it a failure 'cos they didn't have the right flavor sandwiches in the Normandy cafeteria.
Not complaining would be like coming hone from d-day and pretending you ended all war.
EDIT: Or was it this, actually.
Anyways, it's nice to see Vieira really try things when the team isn't performing like he wants them to.

I wasted the entire first half and $40 in ubers looking for a bar in San Jose, CA with MLS Direct Kick.
I watched the second half over FaceTime with my kids from my hotel. That was pretty awesome. Maddening but awesome.

Took my girlfriend car shopping and was following the game on Twitter so didn't see any of it. Second I saw 2-2, all I could say was "fucking Saunders" and put my phone away. Expected to open this thread seeing 2-2 disappointment. Such a pleasant surprise.
Has Lampard gone from top 5 worst signings to top 5 best signings when taking into account strictly on field performance?

Why the hell does this team do this to me? I was completely down in the dumps from Sunday's shit show and hoping for some real joy today but was deeper in the mire by 45 and then roller coastered around by the next 50 minutes of ecstasy and agony and ecstasy. FFS. I need some stability here people!!!!
My daughters have already constructed a complete mythology, ceremonies and culinary requirements for the annual celebration of Frank Lampard Day.
Happy Frank Lampard Day everyone!!!!!!

The last 20 minutes of that game were spectacular to watch live. The atmosphere was ELECTRIC when we fired those two goals and then died when Neagle scored the equalizer. Stoppage time comes and the game winning goal EXPLODED the stadium into a raucous.
Thank you Super Frank Lampard!

I felt like he finally gave me an answer to the question I asked him at City In The Boroughs: Queens about whether he felt he was tactically flexible enough.
Technically, Frank should get the goal and the assist. Well, his left foot should get the goal and his right foot should get the assist, but that's just splitting hairs.
Not for nothing, but my ugly Mets promo fedora is 3-0 now.
Sadly, it's 0-1 at mets games.
