Can't help but feel like a loss since we were up 2-0, but there were some positives to cling to. And a point away on opening day isn't horrible for this team, that is still gelling.
Negatives: Medina, Ofori, Rocha, and Dome.
Hot takes:
We played better in the second half than we did in the first even though the scoreline contradicts that.
Penalty no-calls offset each other.
Mitrita is going to thrill us.
Ofori was terrible in the first half but scored. He was better in the second.
SJ deserves the most blame. He totally botched that ball in. He should have bossed it.
Second goal was confusion between Sands and Chanot. All day long either Sands was too withdrawn or Chanot felt he needed to step up to cover for him. I wasn't impressed with Sands today at all. A couple of decent passes and one great tackle on Nani, but he looked confused far too often.
I dont think Sweat sucks as badly as most folks on this board do, but he did snooze on one chance that wasn't converted, and more importantly, we can’t afford to be wasting a sub swapping in Rocha for him.
We need a striker. Or we need Maxi more withdrawn and Treats farther up. Or both.
Timner and Lewis also kinda sucked in the first half but were better in the second.
Still prefer Ring more withdrawn.
Medina is very frustrating. Has quality but zero bite. And Mitrita should be taking all of our corners.
Parks looked strong in limited minutes. Composed and able to work out of trouble.
Callens is still one of the most underrated players in MLS.
