PBP: San Jose Earthquakes - Los Angeles Galaxy Western Conf. Semi Game 2 (Wed., 11/7) in-game thread [R]

LOL@ gonzales having the LA keeper run into him

 

I would bet that LA will score one more goal. I won't say we already lost it but if we did we know when it happened.

 

we are not even challenging Saunders, one of the sketchier guys on the field

 

It's worse than nothing. Dawkins is out of position to pick up Baca's slack, no one pressures Donovan, and that's the goals.

 

well that half couldn't have gone any worse

 

the defence right now isnt fit to wear the quakes kit.... there needs to be something changed

 

Baca and Wondo have sucked major you know what... C'mon!!! Now Lenhart has lost his head. This is not the way you want to go out... The defense ball watching... my ********ing God do they really need to be taught to learn to stay with their man?

 

$$$$ kicking the crap out of workman bs today.

 

Smaller field is favoring LA with higher skill. This is a game where a guy like Moreno would be huge, even Khari if he was on form. Vets just have a higher single-game ceiling imo.

 

We look like ballschit, Sorry but I don't see it.

 

Weren't we down by 2 goals at the half at the Stanford game also?

 

Tressor Moreno where are you???

 

Send Baca to the bench. Move Dawkins to CAM right behind the forwards. Bring on Salinas to LM.

 

Tressor Moreno where are you???

 

Cronin & Baca are playing like crap but so is Opara!

 

Any guy who has skill to pull out of his ass. Baca doesn't have that. Opara doesn't have it. Hernandez at least has experience. Corrales added defense.

It's our stupid defense which sucks. Alexi has it nailed "Absolutely no coordination back there".

 

Even the guy talking, Alejandro Moreno would be better....

 

Maybe we see the trifecta up top?

 

End of the half, well... That went well

Here's what needs to happen, we need Gordan,Lenny & Wondo on all at the same time, i think Baca needs to come out, get Shea on one wing,Chavez on the other & Dawkins behind 3 strikers, we need to take risks and were not in the position to wait.
Defence sucks, i guess we know why Opara was on the bench all year, third goal was a disgrace, if you can't even defend from a throw you should'nt even be playing college soccer.
From somewhere we need to harness the spirit of 2003

 

These guys have a comeback in them they just got to concentrate ans compose themselves. Don't just look for the cross and Wondo has to play like the captain. There is going to be a red card in this game just make sure it ain't a guy wearing black.

 

I'd be the first to call for Khari if he played like he did at the start of the season, but he hasn't had enough game time recently. The team just needs someone calm on the ball.

 

True!

 

it's going to take Purdy's Coach of the Year to earn that distinction

 

Perfect assessment from Keller and Alexi at the half. Thanks for confirming my observations and changes Quakes need to make.
