    I feel like it's been like 10 minutes since we've successfully strung together a pass

    Rooney did not look impressed there.

    Rooney isn't even the manager yet and he already looks exasperated

    I don’t get the walking around. I want to strangle the players into giving a shit. This team, man…

    I’ve seen amoebas keep their shape better than this defense. It’s as if they’ve never practiced together.

    You seem to imply it is not an actual possibility.

    If we play this slowly for the rest of the game we may lose 1-0. So that's a win.

    Well that was a physically painful 1st half. The only positive I can come up with is that we're only down a goal

    Yeah, I seem to remember this look like once or twice back in '96 and '97. Then again between 2003 and 2005. It's always strange to my eye too.

    Seriously. TBF, this lineup probably hasn't played together before. Skundrich and Djeffal as dual 6/8s, Durkin at RB. Najar as WF and K. Smith...starting anywhere?

    What I've learned is that we are a GK, a starting backline and a starting midfield away from being a good team assuming Taxi stays healthy

    As bad as DC United has been these years, Hamid being out reminds me how much worse it could have been.

    If you just run at DC, they’re powerless to put in a tackle.

    Campuses and Mora were the last 2 DCU players who could competently tackle.

    I know Durkin is out of position but he's theoretically been on a soccer field before but sure as hell couldn't tell tonight.

    I do like that Durkin is big enough to hurt people.

    Eh. It is a privilege, not a punishment. Even when we're no good.

    Except Philly last week. That... that was something all its own.

    Durkin shows for his defenders.
