MLS - April 11 - Vancouver (Away)

It's time to pull a rabbit out of a hat Nico.

 

[gbservis]

You can't convince me Raul is better at free kicks than Nico, that was a waste.

 

[Kenny]

I mean honestly we are acquitting ourselves well here. Just need the goal

 

[moogoo]

a decent sequence there, but damn, we need to shoot SOONER and stop trying to find the perfect shot.

 

[moogoo]

how is there no yellow card on that foul on oneil?

 

[Gene]

Malachi coming on.

Much better second half

 

[moogoo]

magno goes to brazil and said MLS was too physical for him. now he's back and he's pushing everyone and not even trying to hide it.

 

[moogoo]

anybody else have a jittery stream when there's a lot of action going on?

yea we aren't contenders. no attacking depth. no midfield depth. no defending depth. thanks front office.

O'toole can see the guy with the ball and White's run. The cross and the target is telegraphed yet he doesn't attempt to challenge the ball.

too busy ball watching, just like gustavo.

 

[gbservis]

We are a good team, but still a notch below the leagues best and Vancouver is one of the best.

we are an upper-mid table team who has been beating up on bottom table teams.

 

[moogoo]

we had moments in this game, but overall, we didn't play that well. We were better in the second half, but were never really in control. When the subs started happening, we just started falling apart and the chances of us getting a draw or winning started to look farther and farther away.

Positive is I am happy to see Jones back on the pitch, though I think it's pretty clear he's not very sharp and possibly a little nervous about getting injured again (which is understandable). It's going to take some time for him to get sharp again and hopefully he can regain that form we all saw 2 years ago.

Man, we miss martinez up front.

You can tell the difference between a Chrysler 300 and a Bentley when you see both together.

 

[GratefulDawg]

That's the difference between a team that is balanced with attack and defense, as well as with experience and youth.

We missed Martins, but the attack just wasn't quick thinking tonight. Nice to see Malachi back out there. I am surprised he came back on turf. Tayvon struggled at times. Ojeda just isn't the guy. Watching a 36-year-old outpace a 38-year-old will be my main memory of this match. We need a striker.
