Home 05/15 - Chicago

We will win this game and then start an MLS record of winning out the rest of the season, claiming the Supporters Shield as well as winning the US Open Cup, and then going undefeated through the playoffs and win the MLS Cup. Right guys?
 
Onwards and upwards. Very winnable game against a lower level team. Win and we are right back in the mix. I assume Nemec and Calle will be back for this one since Kreis said two weeks ago that the injuries didn't seem as bad as first thought.

I think Nemec slots back into the CF role and Mullins earns a start on the right in the 4-3-3.
Really hoping Grabavoy sits for Poku this game. Mix Jacobson and Poku in a triangle.
Calle and Allen at FB? Allen has at least as good speed as brovsky and he seems to have better strength and a willingness to tackle hard, could be good against Accam.

Let's start a winning streak!

This makes sense so you know it ain't happening.

I'd love to see this lineup. I don't think Poku can come in for Jacobson because we'll get skewered on the counter-attack if he pushes forward and loses the ball. This is the best way to get him in the lineup. Grabavoy was limping around pretty bad at the end of the game on Sunday, so maybe there's actually a chance.

And I'd like to see the Nemec/Villa/Mullins front line. As frustrating as he can be at times, we've really missed Nemec's hold up play since he's been out. Mullins deserves a start and hopefully Shelton can go back to being an impact sub.

Yeah we are not good enough to consistently play out of the back. As long as that is the case, we need the threat up top of the well played long ball. I have to think he will start to score now that we are getting more crosses into the box.

Who knows, maybe if we can get a few goals to go in from set pieces or crosses we can get some more space on the ground for villa et al.
 
I like the three-headed monster approach up front. I think you can play Poku in the first half, hopefully score a goal or two, then sub for him at the half, or 10-15 minutes in for a defensive mid. We've had such crappy starts, it's time to put some in early.
 
Just want to say to you guys how I feel for you and hoping that the team can get a win this week.

What do you guys feel you need to get things rolling and get a few wins under your belt?

1. Health. We're almost there.
2. Easier competition. Check. 4 of the next 5 are winnable games.
3. 90 minutes of focus. We would have a lot more points if our games just ended at 75 minutes.

If we go these 5 games without a win, then everyone sounding alarm bells can go ape shit. Our last game was by far our worst.

We are primed for a bounce back performance.

Can't wait for Friday. See you all at YS.
