2017 Game Thread [R]

So...how about that beer? Anybody?

 

Up front wasnt terrible

the middle of the field to use a hockey term , SEIVE!

the back four, what back four?

regroup and try to play more structured defense next week at Colorado.....

 

Our roster is a dumpster fire. Anything to be excited about other than Molino? It is quite a shame because I thought we had an excellent atmosphere for what the weather was. How many fans are going to stick around?

 

Wow, we may not win a game. We really are that bad.

 

It won't get better until Heath is gone. He's a clown.

 

uh, Ramirez?

This team needs to start believing in the Thibedeau system....if our season ends like the Wolves (it certainly is beginning like it) it wont be all bad, but until we start playing some defense, it s only going to get worse.

And hey, how offsides do you need to be at the 2 minute mark to be flagged? yeesh, talk about a tempo setter..... no wonder he looked in disbelief in the second half when the refs flag did go up, he'd been getting the advantage on the call the whole first half (Martinez).

 

Speaking from an ATL point of view: there was a lot of good, short passes in your build up that troubled the ATL def. There was a period at the end of the first half where you dominated and were dangerous. We were generally worried - it was 3-1 at that point and if you'd scored that next goal, the game changes.

Your build up looked good, the passing into the final third was tricky and solid.

The defense is a shambles and Martinez scorched those two plodding center backs.

 

This week's goal:

Give up 4 or less to Colorado.

Given the state of their offense, that may be doable.

 

You have a good team there, @Dr. Dogfish. Good luck on the rest of the season

 

Might want to watch out for Tim Howard's shots from his own half though....

 

Once you lot sort out your back four you'll be a competitive side. There were large stretches of the game where you worked that ball very well.

 

Anybody have any preferences of how the team lines up against Colorado? I think we need to end the 3 CM experiment of Schuller, Saeid, and Warner. Demidov needs to sit for awhile, and Ibarra has to play a role at some point with the money he is making.

--------------Ramirez----------------
Ibarra------Venegas------Molino
----Schuller---------Warner-------
Taylor---Calvo----Green------TH
------------Shuttleworth------------

 

I almost wouldn't mind putting Demidov further up field and having Warner sit.

When will Josh Gatt be ready?

 

I have thought Warner has been pretty good. Then again it is hard to tell with this team who is doing well. I like to think they have Gatt in the shop getting robo legs, put Mecha Gatt out on the wings.

 

Ibarra is finally in the starting lineup today.

 

Will see how well Kalliman can step up. Hopefully he does a decent job.

 

Our lineup next week will definitely be interesting to see. Two weeks in a row we can hopefully steal a point?
