Home - 05/03 Seattle

[LionNYC]

Mix will score a hat trick. Mix will score a hat trick. Mix will score a hat trick. If I say it long enough, its bound to eventually happen.

 

[The Toe]

Is this the final list? The DNP is from a week ago. I need these player injury updates NFL style - multiple times a day.

Was the update as of yesterday.

It kind of fun to go into this game with no expectations of points. Playing the crap teams we have for the past four or five games, and being disappointed, has sucked. This game however, is an expected loss. If we tie, I will be happy, if we pull out an unexpected win...? Dare I dream? This is the kind of third act drama that legendary games and players are made from.

Let's go Blue!

Agree!

I'd be happy even with good effort and a 1-goal loss. Just keep it exciting and give us something to cheer about. Of course, I'd love a point, or dare I say more, but it has been said that the secret to happiness is ... low expectations.

According to this morning's NY Post, Villa is in the starting lineup tonight.

Star striker David Villa returned to practice after missing two games, and he’ll be in the squad for Sunday. He could be a huge lift for a team that has just five goals in eight games — second-worst in MLS — and is mired in a 213-minute scoreless drought.

Would love to see him up top with Shelton and then add poku to the midfield.
The only issue with that is you risk having to sub both of them off at some point in the match.

He also made a "it's game day" tweet.

I'd be ecstatic with just a draw at this point.

 

[Drainyoo]

Anyone else dreading the outcome of this game? I just hope they don't make us all look like fools. Even if they lose, they need to put in a quality performance. Nothing like the last few games.

What a beautiful night it's going to be at the stadium.

Still pretty empty at 7:05pm

I've been unable to watch the game. How have we been playing? Is it even a contest?

 

[SayWhat44]

Well I got engaged late last week and I'm in Florida celebrating with family and future family. I was unable to watch the game but got the score update from bleacher report.... And ivw got to the conclusion of fuuuuuuuck!!!!

 

[JefeLechon]

What the hell...

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

We looked really good. We lost to two of the best players in MLS. Can't really expect to play much better than that with half of our starters out. Love this team!

 

[Gene]

The difference being Seattle has guys that know what to do in the attacking third of the field and we don't. That second Martins goal was a beauty and has a good chance of being the GOTW.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Felt we were the better team everywhere but the scoreboard first 60 minutes.

Sooo frustrating. Kreis has his work cut out for him.

 

[Falastur]

I'm torn between wanting to feel bitter over another game wasted, and accepting that it was a tough game against a very strong opponent, where we actually showed some positive signs.

I remain convinced that it's far too early for a brand new team to be performing at its peak capacity, but man, I really want to see an improved result soon.

Seems like each week we're picking it up more and more..............now if we could only finish.
