I don't disagree with you here. Khiry definitely needs to learn and move on from this. And hopefully going forward he won't let his emotions take him out of the game.
I'm just saying there is also room for Villa to grow here as the captain of our team. Different players respond to different things. It appears Khiry does not respond very positively to being yelled at like that.
Khiry definitely has a lot to learn from from that miss. I just think there is something there that Villa can also take note of.
Mid first half if I remember correctly. Just watched the game again last night and was looking for it also as I remembered seeing him do it at the game. But it's definitively during the first half.
When did this happen? I missed the rabona
Mid first half indeed. I seem to remember him being somewhat near the right corner flag and hit the rebona as a pullback to somebody at the top of the box.
Pulled it off beautifully although no one else in my section even seemed to notice!
Khiry is getting shit for the missed shot, instead of passing to Villa. I am not high on Khiry in general, but that's been the knock on him for a while, that he won't just shoot when he has a chance.
Great header by Mix to cause the rebound too.

Villa's making that face because if Shelton had more awareness, he could have squared it to Villa to tap into the empty net, instead of trying to control it and hit an off-balance shot (which he predictably slammed into the side netting). I agree with Villa there. Consistent with the Shelton narrative: fast and strong, low soccer skills/brain.
I agree, but we're talking about a kid who's played just minutes of professional soccer so far. We drafted him last year and he was out for most of the season. Now he's back in shape and will learn to think like a winger as he gets more minutes. I think we should keep Mendoza on the right and alternate Khiry/TT on the left until we get a clear idea of who should be starting there. You can always switch it up and play any of the 3 on either side, which PV definitely has done with TT/Khiry. We need to somehow get him minutes without sacrificing too much. He'll get better, but I don't think he should be cemented in as a starter yet. I'd start the more technical (and fast) Mendoza and use Khiry as an impact sub to run over tired fullbacks. From just 20 mins Mendoza looks like the more complete package.
I hope that Mix doesn't mind putting on of these in the living room...we have to work on Khiry's first touch for NYCFC and America.
I was hoping Saunders would run up the field and join in that last corner, but he just walked around the net and grabbed the good ass water instead.
Edited to fix spelling of Saunders. Totally should have #mobilepost 'ed

Give the guy a break, he's 74 years old for crying out loud!
Hey guys, how many wide open nets did you combine to miss on Sunday?
I'm so so mean.

Khiry had a clear shot on goal. It would have required the same amount of skill to complete the pass to Villa (angle, speed, etc) as it would have required to bury the shot. If he doesn't have the skill for one, there's no reason to believe there's skill for the other. Villa is making that face because that's what Villa does whenever he thinks he should have gotten the ball. He is indiscriminate.
As has been mentioned above, Khiry needs thicker skin if he wants to be a better player mentally. Villa needs greater emotional control to know which of his teammates needs what from him if he wants to be a better captain.
Haha. That was hilarious. Here's some danbucks for that one! haha
I am afraid that they have broken up, and have gone their separate ways according to Mix.
Rewatching that play, damn that Mix header was VENOMOUS.
