MLS - April 18 - Charlotte (CF)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Referees were poor tonight. Tori Penso had multiple lectures during the game but only 1 and 4 minutes of added time. Raul didn’t foul the Charlotte player on that yellow card. It was a dive. And he won the ball on the other challenge. A lot of time wasting that went unjustifiably given PRO was supposed to have higher amounts of added time for the actual delays in the match.

Tori clearly got dads genes with all the shit referring on display
that's our favorite Chris Penso's wife, not daughter.
I agree. Gustavo's yellow was total bs. Park's yellow was also BS, imho.
Gustavo didn't play well. But then again neither did anyone
I said this on the chat, but I think Pascal is doing a good job given what we have. Obviously wins would be better, but even with the losses and ties we're showing signs up actually doing interesting things (unlike under cushing where that was just boring boring boring all the way through).
FO needs to wake up.

Frustrating night. We had no business losing that game. We can whine about the roster, and it's definitely incomplete and missing a big piece, but even with the players we have we should have boat-raced that team and won this game 3-0. Total smash and grab by Charlotte. The chances we missed were inexplicable in the first half and that game should have been put to bed at halftime. Just one of those unlucky games that happens a few times a year. I'm not putting that game on the roster; the roster is good enough to beat Charlotte. That's just a bad-luck game.
Speaking of bad luck, why the hell was it so cold out there? It was mid-60s during the afternoon. That was a brutal night.
I thought Penso called a generally fair game. Some bad calls on both sides, but the long delays to talk were too much. Stop letting the players talk, just play the game.

I disagree. We dominated that game. Deserved to win it. We got goalie'd and we got bad luck tonight.
Also -- surprisingly good and loud crowd. 21,000 on a cool April evening is pretty impressive. For this team to get 21,000 on a night like this at a baseball stadium is damn impressive.
you act like it is 5 degrees and snowing outside man. in my opinion, it's a perfect spring evening. if you dress appropriately, you'd be perfectly comfortable.
We dominated possession, created chances, but we did not finish. We did not play with urgency after going down a goal until the last 10 mins or so. I don't think we got goalie'd. Kalina had a couple nice saves, but for the most part, the saves were routine and he was playing catch with our lofty crosses to our not so tall targets.
Was it bad luck or bad execution? We looked good in buildup but in the final 3rd, when Charlotte collapsed the defense on whoever had the ball, we hit brick walls, kicked it out wide and lofted it in for Kalina to catch or be cleared because we had maybe one or none in the box waiting for that cross. It got slightly better when Talles came on, but still not good enough. If we played with speed, took shots instead of always trying to walk it in, and transitioned with numbers into the box, we'd score a lot more. But unless nico is there or parks is in and crashing the goal, we rarely have someone in there hunting and we desperately need someone who is always going to be there. We're just too easy to defend otherwise.
