P/I/P Game 29: LA Galaxy vs Portland Timbers, 10/16/21, 7:30 PT on Spectrum SN

my adrenaline....

 

we are getting CLOSE!!!!

 

@#$^@W holy shit Araujo with an actual shot.

 

Freaking Braves!!!!

 

Why does the field look so dark?

 

My god we're actually dangerous this game.
Of course it doesn't mean shit for goals but at least we're dangerous as hell.

 

he telegraphed that cross

 

yep we are actually playing much more vertically

 

I really can't fault anyone so far (except for a few bad passes). Its just been a hell of a defensive effort by Portland.

 

Say it with me again "Verticality"

 

Chara can mess you up in subtle ways

 

We asked for more verticality in the Gs game, which has resulted in the Gs playing more vertically.

 

getting chippy!

 

Portland with hard fouls.

 

whoa boy. how is that not a card.

 

Good to see Julian get back up

 

Those wasted set pieces ...

 

Jona is limping hard.

 

HT: 0-0
This has been the best half we've played in a while. Great ball movement, good overall defensive work (I really don't see much scrambling defense), our midfield is winning balls in the middle of the pitch and we're easily controlling possession, and we're actually getting dangerous chances in.

But still no freaking goals.
(Bondy with another point blank save)

 

take a break and we do it again. Dejan has to come in at the 60ish. For whom? it depends how they look after the break

 

didnt see that, hopefuly he can go another 15 and then Alvarez

 

No goals for the tree trunks either so i'll take that

 

Well we don’t look toothless but still no goal. And still a couple of dumb turnovers (Jona?) that could have gifted 1 to Portland. Maybe Williams/Depuy is the magic pairing that can cover for our regular gaffes.
