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

What an embarrassing first half, anybody want to bet Chivas bunkers it in the second half?

44' Baca with poor cross but Chivas with worse backpass lead to corner.
Moreno sprays it wide to noone, killing attack.

Moreno is playing blowfully, the whole team is stinking up the pitch...

What is wrong with Moreno? Total disappointment.

45' Chivas' Columbian with the first half time-wasting "cramp". That's a first.

He'll get crazy and serve black tea. WITH the bags still in the cups.

Now they're overthinking and trying to be too clever with their passes.

Pull Moreno and Stephenson, move Baca to the middle put in Garza and Cronin.

WCQ is coming up, they gotta impress their coaches with their time wasting

47' Promising long ball but Baca is not Salinas/Chavez.

Half ends. Quakes playing "ok", but not sharp enough around the box to finish.
Chivas finish on one of their rare chances.

What a pitiful performance and there's absolutely no excuse for it. None that will suffice. oop:

this, its blatantly obvious.

At least Corrales is laying it out there on the field. I think he's one of the few guys who is playing hard.

Missed Bernardez on the goal,

Moreno is a through ball artist with noone to sent through balls to on the field,

Bad Khari showed up today.

Khari - Moreno also doesnt provide a whole lot of control in the center.

Baca is not a wide mid fielder, but inexplicably is not pinching in. Which means Baca is eating up all the space on the right and not doing anything with it.

I just dont like the way the team is constructed out there.

Need Garza in on the right side. Lenhart looking lethargic again too, might need a change there as well. There is no final ball whether it be from the wings or through the middle so there is a lot that needs to be fixed.

Also, did Kelly Gray just say hit as hard he can and that he won't even know where it's going? No wonder he had a crappy career. Kaley Fountain was cool though.

I have the soft belly which Khari and Moreno in the middle. Also with no true wingers on either side we have less options. Beita has not sent in any good cross yet. And no one is willing to take a shot. Well, I mean Moreno.

YES.

It's noticeable that we are not attacking well on the right.
Dawkins isn't getting much done either, other that the well-saved shot.

I wish the game wasn't blacked out on CSNBA for me, have to watch on Galavision............







in SD!!!!!!!!!! FML!

If Garza is speedy, I'd be happy to see him on the right.

Jason and Beita giving the rah rah's in the team huddle. Let's see if it lights a fire.

The Spanish commentators call Lenhart the "Lion King", lol. It's pretty funny each time he gets the ball.

He is. Then you can get Baca out of there. He is has been poor from what I've seen out there on the right. Put him in the middle, but never out wide.
