PBP: DCU vs. HotLanta United

Smith seems to get in the right positions but so far he is also where attacks go to die.

 

Sub in the Captain?

Not with that bartender spilling half the shot off the ice and onto the table.

Waaaaaaoooooooow!

 

Here’s something new from @NBCSWashington: Graphics in a pop-out panel instead of full screen. Even with Dave Johnson back this #DCU broadcast is still a disaster. Claudia unable to read halftime scores… #VamosUnited pic.twitter.com/3UcKjabtBu

Is Najar injured?

 

Broadcast suggests he tweaked a hammy.

 

this league has more stoppage time goals than any other

 

Atlanta pinches one deep in stoppage to prevent a major payoff for those betting on a scoreless draw. Lack of menace in the final third dooms us yet again …

 

Remind me again why Brad Smith was an “upgrade?”

 

We stink and now we’re leaning on low talent younger players like Durkin and Yow and Djeffal. Not sure how we come away from Austin with points.

 

Much better from Losada.

I think he knows he needs to find a way to send Smith to the bench. And that the team needs better players period. Props for putting the disgrace to dc’s #10 jersey on the bench.

Paredes isn’t playing in Germany. Any chance of a summer loan?

 

Thx,

Jay!

 

Does anyone know if Taxi is going to start next match at Austin? Good thing we have a break next week.

 

The most stunning thing tonight was how they were able to regularly and frequently dribble circles around our players and midfielders in particular.

 

Possibly he’s an upgrade over playing with ten men. Maybe. A little.

 

He and Robertha are partners in crime.

 

This team is trash, AND Losada has them playing in a formation destined to lose. Can we please, for the love of Christ, play a more 4-5-1 where we don’t have to rely so much on our center backs (Najar) to generate an offensive threat? Also, can we please end the Yow and Skundrich experiment. They are Loudoun players, at best.

For those that watched on TV, was Hamid slow to react on the goal?

 

I think he was shielded by (Canouse?) who scored the own goal.

 

I didn't go back to rewatch but it looked like it deflected off someone's upper body.

 

It was definitely heading out for a goal kick before the deflection into the goal

 

I dont get the late game subs. Skundrich was never going to provide an attacking spark and then he was trying to get Pines in. Pines?

 

I think he shouldn't have subbed Durkin, though that's easy to say in hindsight.

 

I don't how good he is (looked good tonight), but Durkin's a man now and he looks hungry. This may be an important signing.

 

This team is just depressing. Wake me when Levien sells it.

 

Forgive me, but I don't think anyone said he was an upgrade.
