PBP: San Jose Earthquakes - Club Deportivo Chivas USA (Sunday, 5/13) in-game thread [R]

They are gaining confidence finally.

 

31' Lenhart hustles us into another corner.
Wondo! OVer the bar.

 

On frame guys, make Kennedy work for it.

 

Luckily our 2nd LB Simon Dawkins was there to cover for him.

 

33' Lenhart being a menace, can't draw the call.

 

"A chat with them at half time" Come on Frank, are you serving tea and crumpets too?

 

The team is expected to rotate when a fullback goes forward.

 

We're actually making Chivas look like RSL.

 

Lenhart is pounding on the door.

Moreno draws a yellow from LaBrocca

 

But they expect the player to hustle back into position without leaving a huge gap....

 

35' Lenhart gets onto the end of a through ball but isn't in position where he can get much on the shot.
Yellow to Labrocco for grabbing Moreno on a break.
Long drive from Khari deflected to Kennedy.

 

You obviously didn't get the joke...

 

38' Lenhart runs down another long ball on a turnover, but faceplants on a cut.

 

Someone get Lenhart some longer spikes.

 

Khari gets booked for a pretty clumsy challenge. I really dont see the value of Khari except for his set pieces

 

I think that was a facetious statement.

 

39' Khari scrapes Moreno on a tackle and gets yellow. Paging Cronin.

 

Lenhart fumbles a great chance, nimble he ain't.

 

Stupid tackle by Khari.

Is anyone else underwhelmed with this Moreno-Stephenson midfield?

 

Sloppy....

 

He got the ball, but his cleats scraped him on the way through. It wasn't studs up straight leg.

40' Dawkins loses the handle on a break.

 

41' Ramiro embaresses Chivas midfield but can't get cross past defender.

 

Corrales *shakes head*

 

43' Moreno and Ramiro miscommunicate after forcing turnover.

 

Ramiro.....you are done. simply put, your finished. exit left stage please for everyones own good.
