    What the ******** was Deleon doing? Break dancing? Seriously, what the ******** was that? Is that something he saw on tv? Oh Lordy.

    I can deal with Olsen running out NDL and Jeffrey or Buescher in the middle. If he also plays Acosta and Mullins and uses Kamara in rotation. I've seen far too much this season of Sarvas and Saborio to ever really want to see them again. Although actually spending money on a Giovinco type impact player would be nice too, but with the ownership group not a chance. I'll be worm food before those assholes actually spend money to put a title threatening team on the field.

    I'm actually more bothered by Franklin's continued poor crossing despite our apparent reliance on that tactic than I am on NDL's performance. Yeah, it's not one of his better games, to be sure, but pick a player on our side who's brought their A game so far.

    Or even their B game. Even Acosta's running at a C+ thanks to the guys around him. Sam could get a B if he times his runs better, but I think that's a matter of chemistry.

    Well, our best performing player for the night is off....OK, then, according to Benology his subs are going to be either a nightmare or the saviours. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.

    I realize, that Johson and MacTavish are paid by DCU, but jeebus guys, call a turd a turd. Johnson suggesting it would be 1-1 except for the two free kicks is embarrassing for a professional announcer.

    Mullins has two more good hold up passes than Sabo had all night. He should start next Sunday - but he won't.

    Well, it's true, and the first FK was a little.....generous.

    I can't decide if our attackers are too static pushing the defensive lines instead of making runs, or our crosses in are just too late to make the tactic work.

    Probably both.

    I agree 100%. It's why I like listening to Sonny Jurgenson on the radio calling skins games - he sounds like an alcoholic Alzheimer's patient, but he doesn't pull punches. If something sucks, he calls it out.

    On the plus side, it's still early enough to get something else out of the evening...

    Of course. Been the case for 3 years. Unfortunately, as with Trump, Ben could shoot a man in times Square and dcu won't fire him.

    After 2 points from 4 games and dropping below the red line -- most teams might fire the coach -- it's what Orlando did and at least Heath has won some USL championships. Not us, Olsen will be there next week and next season -- there is no accountability because there is no ownership.

    but those were all road games. I imagine that would be the excuse.

    Relegation would suck, but it would help this organization.

    Why is it that United looks like a pickup team against every team we play? No wonder Lloyd Sam cried when he learned he was traded...

    :mad:

    We're not shitty in a historic, teams-never-been-worse kind of way - we're shitty in the most pedestrian, we-don't-care-to-even-try kind of way.

    That is so much worse.

    This team is horrible.

    The coach has needed to be changed out.

    What the hell is Olson barking at the ref about. Knock it off Ben.

    The owner does not care and therefore neither do I.
