2019 Match Day #25: DC United v. Union, August 4, 2019 p/d/p

Loss.

Reality check time.

 

MUST DRAW!!!

 

I would love to go to this match. It is annoying that it will end around 9:30 on a Sunday night. I will have to decide as the week progresses.

 

Coming in from Columbus for the game. Probably in for a heart-breaking loss, but still really excited nonetheless.

 

I'm going to this. So obviously a heart breaking loss.... (but I voted win)

 

The wheels are coming off.

 

FO saw this coming, they sent out the STH renewal reminder early this year.

 

Curtin said today that Monteiro trained in full today for the first time, he still has confidence in Gaddis and he is considering playing Creavalle over Aaronson.

 

He knows they play different positions, right?

 

How so? In our system, LM and RM are a 6/8 position which Creavalle has played throughout his career. Creavalle fits that role better than Aaronson does. If Bedoya is the prototypical RM in our system, Creavalle is more like Bedoya than Aaronson is IMO.

 

Maybe he is basically going back to a 4-2-3-1 with Fafa returning to a LM role.

 

Wooten staring up top with Kacper, Jamiro on the bench, and Collin starting at CB with Trusty on the bench. Interesting.

 

Well.......some changes have been made.......

Squad rollin’ into DC like…

At least Monteiro is back in the 18....the subs bench is actually fairly strong

 

Bedoya, 1-0 Union early

 

Red card on DC by VAR. Missed penalty by Union. We are up 1-0, up a man, and I have no faith that we will win this.

 

And now, a nice goal. Winning 2-0.

 

Fabian.....goal and an assist in the first half.

 

3-0, Kacper with his 10th of the season

 

Fabian with a cheeky finish for his second goal......somebody wants to get his option picked up....

 

Ok, up 4-1 in the 72 minute against a team down a man. I think we just might win this.

 

Not sure if DC players were all out last night but they have looked out of sorts tonight.

Not complaining, and Union have taken advantage except for a few long balls.

 

And another thing...who is the field keeper at Audi Stadium...Carl Spackler?

 

Best performance of the season outside of the one set piece.

Watch...they'll get sucker punched by Houston next week.......
