MLS - February 22 - Miami (Away)

[CCMore]

From a Birds Eye view I was happy with this game and result. If you told me at the beginning of the game we would walk out of Miami with one point I would have taken it in a heart beat. Our roster is less than it was last year and yet I can already say I like what Jansen is doing after one game more than 2.5 years of Cushing.

If Miami doesn’t lead the league in cards for dissent, then the referees aren’t calling the games right. So much complaining.

This was a fun watch in a wish I didn’t have a dog in the fight kind of way. Because otherwise this continues to be roster malpractice. It feels like we have a preseason roster or roster after being eliminated from playoff contention where you don’t really care about the results and just tell yourself that it’s fun to watch the kids. But it’s game one of a new season with a new higher profile coach so it’s completely unacceptable. Hopefully we will make some moves because otherwise it’s going to be a tough and painful road. With that said, I already do like Pascal ball better than Cush. Get the guy some weapons please.

Messi did get a post game yellow, but there was no effort to enforce the new mass confrontation rules.

It goes a bit longer from the broadcast. They seemed friendly but not too friendly.

I thought it may have been a carryover from his altercation with the officials - he has that same heated look - like he was repeating his gripe to him or something.

What really bothers me is our failure to possess, move and retain the ball. They are old. They were on 48 hours rest. They were down a man. There is no reason we shouldn’t have been able to play keep away.

We need Pascal to unlock Parks and get him back to being the passing and shuttling force he was before whatever Cushing did to the offense.

Completely agree with all of this. The roster, Pascal, all of it. They need additions, and they need additions soon.

By the way, even if we get a result in LA, that's another opponent miles better than us and we're probably going to be saying the same things about this roster after that game.

It was nice to see Haak has a somewhat accurate long distance kick to Martinez. If both Gray and Haak can continue their growth on crosses and long direct passing, it should be a tool used against high press teams.

Several times in the first half, on the left side there would be a kick by O’Toole or Risa over the top to Ojeda to run after it and do a move. Andrade is the same thing but just faster.

But really, even who didn’t come to Miami missed out on a good time. 50% all food and beverages including alcohol and liquor with a Chase credit or debit card. We got very friendly with the Italian Vice stand.

right now, I agree we are utilizing ojeda in the same manner as andrade. but i think ojeda works harder back tracking and possibly a better 1v1 dribbler. he's not as fast as andrade but is still pretty pacey. that all being said, i think the reason we moved on from andrade was that he didn't get on well with cushing and maybe became disruptive in the locker room (this was a rumor wasn't it?)
