Or that he disappeared against the Cosmos in what should have been a personal showcase game (regardless of the rest of the lineup), and seems to have continually disappointed a coach who is a much better judge of performance and team fit than I am. I have always been a huge Mix fan and supporter, and often the opposite for FF, but I don't think the comparison of present value and better fit for the team right now is even close between them. Just a friendly difference of opinion.
I took it as they've been resting on their laurels and still mentally celebrating the thrashing they gave us.
Their players did go over the top on full blast after the last game in interviews, social media, etc., which may not actually be "around the dressing room" but that may be what he meant.
Even pre-game before this one, there were some WWE-like quotes from Dax and co. which I thought were too cocky.
That's why Dax was my RB Bastard in my Battle of the Bastards pre-game post! He never stops slinging shade either directly or via his twitter hounds.
oh man, I do vaguely remember hearing something about this, but I don't remember any sort of clarification. One can only assume that a lot of smack was slung in close proximity....
Did you watch the game? Lampard saved what was probably going to be a sure goal. Playing defense.
I couldn't tell you the minute or which player he robbed, but the guy was in on the box with direct access to Saunders, and Lampard came out of nowhere and took the ball. It was seriously a hold-your-breath moment until he arrived.
Sorry to have missed the chance to say hello, though I suppose it would have been an awkward intro.
Not pretty, though I will say that in watching the condensed 20 minutes version of the game on MLS Live, he was the direct pass or the secondary pass on at least 4 or 5 goal scoring opportunities. It struck me if only because I didn't remember him doing that much other than playing a very nice ball down the sideline for Harrison to run onto which led to the second goal.
Certainly not, though that is the one position where I think you can carry a bit of a passenger if he is poaching goals and setting up opportunities. What killed us early in the year when we drew all those games was our inability to turn possession into goals and he just helps with that, even if it is often ugly.
In the 13th minute. Connor Lade was the attacker. He took a long pass and was loosely marked by Harrison but was past him. Mena was our only defender in the box and was way too far away. It's included in the condensed match if you have MLS Live.
