2018 Game Thread [R]

Haven't heard any precise numbers. I think it would be easy for them to get 30,000-40,000 ...not sure on 50,000.

Vikes play an away game (Jets) at noon that day...so I would like to think that will not conflict with people coming out.

 

For that last home game of the season and last game at TCF Bank Stadium on Oct. 21, #MNUFC said it’s already at more than 35,000 tickets, which breaks the previous club record from the snow opener. Club is trying to break 50K.

I am, at this very moment, reading Jeff Rueter's Athletic piece. I want to start throwing things.

“We’re still building this roster, this culture, on and off the field,” Heath told The Athletic after training on Monday. “We know that we need five, six, maybe seven players in this offseason to go into Allianz Field with a roster that can compete. Who those players are that come in could be decided by who stays and goes. Everybody has things to play for. Every game’s important.”


AGHHHHH! How is this STILL a thing?!

 

I get that injuries have killed a lot of our season, not just Finley/Molino, but all injuries to Miller, Thiesson, Burch, etc.... What bugs me, is even healthy, they still need about 5-7 REAL starters.

Manny and Heath have got to go.

 

I wonder if Berhalter doesn't get the US job, could we get him?

 

How can they spend so long on “clear and obvious?”

 

Optimism?

Stahre, of course, won't be the final MLS coaching change of 2018. A rundown of the other possibilities:

Jobs I think will be open: CHI, CLB, LA, MIN, SJ, VAN

Jobs that could feasibly open, but I don't think will: ATL, COL, PHI

Thanks @regulardavid & the tifo committee for your great idea & for welcoming me in. Thanks @DanSkaarup for taking my drawing & working your digital magic. Thanks to all the volunteers that made it happen. By far one of the coolest moments of my life. #MNUFC #COYL #MINvPOR pic.twitter.com/SDL3tDfxPE

Tifo was outstanding last nigh. So was the weather.

The twenty minutes proceeding Romario’s second goal/ injury was some of the best soccer we have played all season. I am not sure Rodriguez was completely fit last night, though I hear ya. Schuller looked gassed at 65’ and I saw him waving to sidelines around the 75’. Heath really doesn’t trust Martin. I do think Heath had every right to be mad, as they certainly stepped off the gas in the second half. Where they were winning headers and going to the ball in the first half, they just couldn’t be arsed to do so in the second.

Ref was a bit inconsistent last night.

 

Romario and Darwin make Team of the Week

At #MNUFC practice this morning, looks like Danladi and R. Ibarra were running separately. Martin sitting out. Toye is also back from loan.

#MNUFC coach Adrian Heath said the team has appealed Bob’s red card but hasn’t heard back yet about the result. Martin rolled his ankle in training. Danladi and R. Ibarra both with hamstrings. All looking fairly unlikely as of now for this weekend. pic.twitter.com/X7IF0LRVac

lol...I would cut him a little slack. He is still not 100% healthy. His going at GK's is a defensive plus for us. There were times in the last few games (I think LA or the DC game) where he was holding up play and no one was coming into the box, or to take the ball. Beyond empty bucket. That's a Heath/team issue more then a AR issue I think.

Without Bob, Maxi, Romario, etc...we are where we always are this season, relying on players who Heath does not trust.
