    The degree of disaster that was last night will depend on how severe the injury is to Kevin Molino.

    Oh, hey...Yo, Adrian! How come you didn't have anybody warming up the moment Molino got crunched by that tackle? You know, so when he basically took himself out of the game minutes later, you'd have been prepared to make a sub so we didn't have to play the last 3-4 minutes of the half shorthanded. Which is when Hertha scored their goal. Yet another coaching gem from the league leader.

    Consensus from Section 4 was we liked St. Clair. A lot.

    St. Clair is going to be fine. My only concern was that he kicked a few balls out of bounds. Otherwise, fairly steady. Same with Dotson. Did fine, for a young one, and I am not sure I would put him as the inverted winger like he played lasst night, but alright.

    More worried that Danladi and Toye can not shoot worth a darn,

    In my mind, both Danladi and Toye are useless, especially after the opposition figure out that all they have going for them is speed, paired with the touch of a stone donkey.

    Just amazing how much Abu has just fallen off.

    -----

    So, what do we need to get this Summer? LB, another left winger, maybe another forward?

    Yes.

    Another CB, if we can swing that.

    Dotson had a really good game he kept pressure on seemed to close the gaps when needed too. The team seemed to be connecting well just couldn’t make it in the goal at the end. Houston looked really slow and at times like they didn’t even want to play.

    Man, I just want Miguel, Abu, or Darwin to score. Still, I thought a pretty solid performance from us.


    And what was up with that helicopter? :ROFLMAO:

    I give Heath a lot of stick, but I have to give him credit...he got it all right on Saturday...from putting Miggy in front of Dotson to provide cover, to all three subs. That may have been his best coaching job since he's been here.

    That's the first I've heard Molino did a hammy against Hertha. Could've been a lot worse.

    This team has to have one of the lowest shooting accuracy percentages in MLS.It literally seems it's either a goal,or it's wide of or over the bar.It's no wonder they're having such trouble scoring. Perhaps look into binging someone in who knows what clinical fishing means.It's just a thought.

    Well, that went about as well as I expected.

    As bad as Darwin and Abu are at the moment, they were rather isolated. We always play a lower block away, and we never get numbers forward around zone 14. Miguel has to be up. I would also have put on Ethan instead of Dotson, who while good in our half, did little to nothing moving forward. Tactics were a bit off, and I don’t think anyone had a particular good game.

    Why the heck can't we ever score a free kick goal like that?

    I called their third goal about 30 seconds before it happened. All that good work we did to get our second, I just knew it would take Philadelphia a minuter or two to go ahead again.

    Kallman was awful. Ike was a bit off as well. I don't know what we can do to get goals? So many chances. ugh!

    Going to be a little shorthanded for the Open Cup.

    Looking terrible as of late. The offense has no chemistry I feel Darwin has loss a step or isn't fit anymore. Angelo has been unable to score goals along with Danladi. Molino was making chances but is out from an injury in a friendly. The defense I feel pretty good about except for Boxall. It looked awkward with him coming forward today. I feel the tactics that we are trying aren't working and it's painful to watch.

    I have hope for a DP goal scorer being signed we really need it. We need a confident goal scorer up front. That could bring it together. We have a much better team this year but the tactics are not going to work or get us far.

    We need a new coach soon. I think Heath has or is starting to lose the locker room.
