Casey: Mainz v. M'gladbach, 11-6 (R)

Would be really important for Casey to score again and outplay Auer. Weiland is waiting in the wings (healthy again), and likely one of them (Casey or Auer), whoever doesn't perform, will not start next game.

However, weak opponent and Mainz is at home....good conditions for some offense....(albeit w/o their playmaker guy)..

 

looks like ill get to watch this one on canal+

 

Crap. 4' according to Kicker:

Auer lays off to Casey, who is not to be stopped as he goes thru the box (my note: I picture Casey with his typical power move thru).

Casey (the US-Boy!) shoots from 10 meters, but great foot save by the Moengladbach keeper.

I repeat....CRAP, CRAP, CRAP (woulda been ideal start for our 'BOY'. He just needs to get mad and even (with a goal) now...

 

seems i'm about 3 minutes behind live so no PbP, sorry

 

jri...your facts are like 17% accurate on this board man.

Weiland is not waiting in the wings.

Weiland is a midfielder.

just because he has come in for Conor a few times doesnt make him a threat to his PT.

text tracker analysis drives me up the wall i tell ya

 

bluedaddy and all-We'd still appreciate your take on how the game is going,etc.

 

first of all, it is pouring... CC races into the area for a center pass and slides or slips (hard to tell) a good effort on goal, but the GK makes a nice foot save

 

see what I mean?

 

not to mention, i'd hardly consider 'gladbach 'a weak opponent'

 

boy, the keeper should have had that

 

There are two of them, one is a forward, the other is a midfielder.

 

i have no clue, he seemed surprised to come off and jogged his way over

 

21'

auer misses badly with a 15M header

 

casey with a weak lefty shot saved easily on 40'

HT

 

on the stroke of halftime, casey just misses the low far corner with an outstanding 15M header from a loooong cross - the keeper had no chance were it on

 

mainz have come out of the halftime on fire, they look like scoring an equalizer soon

51'

 

1-1 noveski heads in a corner kick 58'

 

more good approach play from mainz, but casey is offside on an auer flick

next time down, casey unsuccessfully tries to split two in the area and gets a mild penalty cry ignored

65'

 

mainz CK, da silva takes... casey "fouls" the GK

68'

 

weigelt on for the very productive jovanovich

 

da silva wins a cheap FK on the far right, he'll serve... punched away

71'
