Now, using more subs! The 2021 Game Thread [R]

Unfortunately, I don't want to go back to Pre-Fragapane on the left. lol

Metanire is back in training. YEAHHH. Though, I thought DJ did alright in his absence. Not as dynamic, but held his own and had a good read/anticipation on those passes Seattle tried to release their wingers.

 

Hear ya.

 

Frank Pain is, in fact, feeling the pain. Inside source tells me he will miss tonight’s game, as well as several others with an injury. The timetable given was five weeks. #MNUFC@mnufcinsider had first

Robin Lod continues to be dangerous in the #MNUFC attack after a breakout 2020.

Leading the team with four goals, all after the 80th minute and three of them have been game-winning goals. 🏹 https://t.co/LAenDJGqHI

Back at #MNUFC training after a week also in Blaine at #3MOpen: Adrian Heath said Boxall & Fragapane will travel on 2-game trip leaving today but both unlikely to play vs LAFC tomorrow night 9:30 pm Central start time

News: #MNUFC forward Ramon Abila is not expected to be included in #Loons road games vs. #LAFC and #VWFC this week. Wanchope trained with team in Blaine on Tuesday, but Adrian Heath citied a defensive focus for away matches, which doesn’t suit Abila’s more-offensive attributes.

Hate to be that guy, and I see quite a few people saying "Give Hunou to adjust," but I am not sure how many games he is going to need, as he is getting smoked by MLS defenders. His acceleration is weak.

Maybe it will change when Fragapane and Lod are healthy, but personally think he is a support forward at best.

 

The Klinsmann one hurt. But of course, it would be a Minnesota team that makes him look better than he is. :-|

 

Hate late Tuesday games. At least Boxy might be back.....and we may need him to play winger.

The #MNUFC official injury report: as expected, Franco Fragapane (thigh), Niko Hansen (hamstring), and Robin Lod (calf) are all out. Jacori Hayes (hamstring) is also listed as out.

Adrian Heath did note on Sat. that Michael Boxall is 100% available.

"There were like two or three fights in the game against SKC ... they ended up stopping the game about 10 minutes early. My brother and Roger Espinoza were absolutely throwing haymakers at each other."

Pretty incredible that Sporting KC & Minnesota have been Heineken™ Rivals since 1789.

*bangs head

This could be the worst game I have seen live. At least in the top three. Awful stuff!!!!

 

He is a support forward at best. With no acceleration, he is never going to break free of just about any MLS defender. I hope when Fragapane gets back there is more connection. He has no connection whatsoever with Reynoso.

Agreed on Heath. Embarrassing!

 

Schedule Update.

Our October 9 match vs. @ColoradoRapids has been moved to October 10.

All have knocks.

I’m told Juan Agudelo has now picked up an injury, but don’t know the severity atm. #MNUFC will be without Agudelo, Lod, Reynoso, Fragapane, Gregus, and potentially Jacori Hayes and Justin McMaster, who took a knock in training in training yesterday, per @_jacobschneider pic.twitter.com/S7SgAeWQKi

— MNUFC Insider (@mnufcinsider) August 26, 2021

Not sure what the hell they are doing in training?

 

I guess more official.

Your official #MNUFC injury report for tomorrow’s game against Houston is “the very end of a game of dodgeball.”

OUT: Fragapane, Gregus, Hansen, Lod, McMaster, Reynoso, Rosales

QUESTIONABLE: Agudelo

I'll allow it!
