This will be the 43rd total game against Kansas City home and away. That is is the most against any team, FCD is second with 41 total games.
3 - 1 KC. We've just enough to beat their meh defense but not nearly enough anywhere to win up there.
Don't know why I'm posting this here -- should probably be moved somewhere else -- but if anyone wants to meet up at Austin Bold v RGVFC Sunday at 6PM SE of Austin at the Circuit of the America's racetrack let me know. You can watch the players who are not the future of the Houston Dynamo -- with a Dynamo past player (Jermaine Taylor) on the other side. Winner wins the Copa Tejas the USL local braggin rights trophy.
C'mon boys! Dig deep and dust yourselves off!!! Get stuck in and find the will to fight! Arnaud, start making some shifts and find the men that really have desire to be out on the field. DALE DYNAMO!!!
2 things, if KC can dump pounds of blue stuff on the field after a goal, why can't we have streamers? And 2, that ball to Ramirez checked up like a golf ball, weird.
Until Glenn mentioned Alejandro Fuenmayor and Ronaldo Peña today, I had forgotten they were still on the team. How damning is that to Matt Jordan’s scouts that their young CB and young FWD are buried.
Anyone think Arnaud has done anything to earn any consideration for head coach? Barrett was painful to watch, but I at least saw a logical and slow progression. With Arnaud I don’t get why we fired Cabrera given Arnaud seems to think Cabrera was going about everything the right way.
No, but I wonder if Arnaud has a rotten bunch of apples to deal with whereas Barrett just had no talent to work with. The entire team and organization seems completely uninspired.
This team is 3-14-3 for 12 points in its last 20 games. That has to be about the worst stretch of any length in Dynamo history
Words cannot define just how bad our team and our staff and our entire club has become. Where we have sunk to in American pro soccer.
I can't tell the difference between Arnaud and Cabrera. I could very much tell the difference between Barrett and Coyle. When you keep doing the same thing that didn't work for the guy before you, it is to me the first sign that you are in over your head.
I don't really know that Arnaud has many choices. I don't see anything that I would use to judge him one way or the other. This team is very opague on what is going on with injuries and other items around the team. I doubt he has been given permission to change anything really. As poor as the team has looked if he starts over from scratch to start rebuilding the results would be even worse.
So minute 19 SKC should have had a second with Zuzi's cross for a big chance for Salloi that Salloi was not able to finish, or AJDLG was able to scramble to breakup. BTW -- AJDLG should not have had to be there ..... I watched that sequence over and over many times. SKC has the ball in their own half against 11 dynamo in their preferred defensive setup. With just a switch from right to left and playing the ball forward SKC was able to bypass 3 defenders who were never part of the play again. Dynamo players are stretched and nowhere near their marks. No pressure on the ball. Open runs into spaces with lines not tight. A clipped ball in behind draws 3 defenders leaving other attackers open. Lundqvist easily isolated 2v1 on the edge INSIDE our penalty box. Its just a complete utter mess. I can't tell who all is out of position because it seems everyone is. Its just school boy scrambling defense -- guys running around chasing shadows.
That’s because Coyle was a mess. Btw, I better not find out that Jordan is dictating game day roster/lineup too.
This is a bad quote by Arnaud - he's got a disappointing home draw, a disaster derby loss and last nights uninspired performance - he needs a result, not an effort trophy "We wanted a performance that was worthy of a result regardless of a result."#ForeverOrange https://t.co/pGvaD7uVvm— Houston Dynamo FC (@HoustonDynamo) September 1, 2019
