MLS Cup Playoffs - November 1 - Charlotte (YS)

just so angry and upset at how we approached the game and then how we set up the initial 5 pk takers. i don't care if it was volunteer and julian wanted to go. he had maybe 10 minutes under his belt and not many touches. he has no business taking a PK.

this game was ours to take when the game state changed after the attacking subs. nico should have stayed on and i don't understand why he came off for julian. only reason I can think of is because jansen rates Julian higher for PKs.

very frustrating game to lose and we didn't even play well. PK's are such a tossup and when your keeper gives you a save, you NEED to take advantage.
 
We didn't have the final pass today. Should have done better. That's what lost the match.

Penalties are a crapshoot. Freese didn't have much luck out there.

Freese did his job. The shooters (especially one) didn’t do it. CLT did not have a save in the first five shots and they won.
 
As much as Jansen deserves credit for game 1, game 2 is on him. Terrible tactics at home for 70 minutes. Then the subs… Taking off Nico for Fernandez?? What are we doing? Unless there was some fitness metric we’ll never know about I can’t fathom why he makes that change.
 
I looked at the lineup tonight (KOT again as a winger) and 2 dmids thinking “wow Pascal is really daring Charlotte to score if not willing to go to penalties.”

Well he got that but also didn’t realize that he could lose penalties.

Now have to go back on the road and win again. Sigh.
 
We have 2 players who can score and one of them played 23 minutes? Nick Cushing Pascal masterclass. Pathetic cowardly showing by coach and team for the first 70 minutes. You're at home with a chance to clinch. Fucking take it to them.

U22 debacle in PKs.

It felt a lot colder than 57º.
I did have to pay to park and for food but my downgraded seat for this game has a better view than my regular Legends seat.

Maxi is too old. Let him go live on a nice farm in the country with a family who loves him next year. He should not have played more than 1200 minutes this year. He runs around a lot and it kind of looks nice but unlike the past it almost never leads to anything.

I'm glad I at least didn't pay for that.
