PBP: DC United vs New England Revolution, 4/23/2022, 1930 EDT

Taxi is greek for “fall to the ground” and Fountas is Greek for “can’t score”

 

Flores is really adding some good clips to his lowlight reel.

 

It's still early on the "can't score" front, but he does fall down a lot - sometimes by being fouled, sometimes not. I'm sure Arena is happy for his boys to welcome him to the league.

 

I take it back, but taxi still means fall to the ground

 

that was an incredible save

 

I thought it was a bit early to write off Fountas that way. Others, not so much …

 

how long before we get Hopkins for Flores?

 

New England is one of a handful of teams with 1 or less PPG. This is two bad teams going at it so let’s not get ahead of ourselves

 

well, you can only play who's on the schedule. I wonder if Arena is on the hot seat?

 

The level of effort is a bit better, but the level of effectiveness isn’t great. A couple of scuffed chances and one terrific save apart from the goal.

This is among the reasons I feel that expected goals is a useless stat. You either finish your chances or you don’t. The results tend to be better if you do.

 

These have been two passes from New England defenders directly to United players leading to the goals lol

 

Ok, now I’m liking what I’m seeing from Fountas.

 

Matt Turner would have saved that.

 

Haha. Bit early there. The guy is having an amazing debut.

My take is the rest of the clowns are still the same and he’s the difference. OTC would’ve scored Estrada’s goal. Flores should be subbed at the half. What a pathetic dp.

 

Taxi could be another DeRo who drags this team kicking and screaming to a near playoff miss

 

Right! And Losada not starting him is the reason we lost those games.

Oh wait …

 

That was obvious in his short time in the last one.

 

Gressel, Durkin, and Canouse are the engine.

Fountas is impressive.

If not for a world class save, we'd be up 4-1.

If not for ridiculously incompetent passing from Flores, we might be up more than that.

Flores can fly back to Peru tonight for all I care. He's horrible. Like stupidly bad. FFS.

 

Oh, and Dave Johnson can just STFU about Carles Gil. He sounds like Cris Collingsorth talking about Aaron Rodgers.

 

Ashton is a genius. Outcoaching Arena.

Hahahaha.

 

Aristotle, Heracles, Zeus, Athena.
