PBP: Crew at Minnesota United FC (MLS 07/04 07:00 PM)

You can visibly see the seams in the turf, where the football sidelines would be (are).

 

Abu moves slowly. Just slowly.

 

He has been pinpoint on the long ball, up close hes a turnover machine.

 

Everyone on the field looks slow. Some of these guys havent played in a while. Maybe the temp on the turf is hot or something.

 

Næss off, Williams on.

 

Abu... with a good tackle?!?! Wtf?

 

Did Naess take a knock? This doesn't read as tactical.

 

Need to sub off manneh for meram at the half. Manneh looks completely uninterested. Jogging everywhere. Finlay just blew by him like he wasnt even there.

 

I think he had a nagging injury the past few weeks. Maybe he just tweeked it would be my guess.

 

I'm enjoying our defense looking solid for once. Two guys, crognale and abubakar, on $85,000 each, both look better than the league's highest paid defender mensah ($850,000).

Rest of the game is crap though. Looks like the second game of a double header or something. Only molino for minn and finlay for cbus look interested in actually running at full pace today.

 

Show this game to prisoners in Gitmo.

 

Wow. Could their guy be any more obvious he's got a megaphone?

 

They said Naess hurt his ankle ifits From a previous injury its dumb to play him on this turf

 

Manneh!

Alright, close to time of having the conversation of who starts on the left. He's been shit on the right, with us and vancouver. His best performances for us have been on the left. Can meram play anywhere other than left wing? I dont know.

 

Its time to find out.

 

Manneh off, Meram on.

Good sub. Other than the goal, manneh looked like he ran a marathon before the game. Other than the goal he didnt contribute much.

 

Cuz finlay is still running.

 

Finlay whiffs

 

Normally this is where we do something stupid and lose the gm. We really need this 3 pts

 

Sub Artur in for Abu please

 

Finlay blows another chance he is not starter quality anymore I don't care if it's Manneh or a Meram but Finlay needs to be removed from starting line up.

Remove Mensah and Finlay from starting and hope for the best

 

Min is letting us shoot, and we can't hit the net

 

Meram is going to bury his next shot


Law of averages

 

Great win and a good time wasting over reaction by Steffen
