    That is a brutally harsh red.

    Ok guys, just stop. Why does everyone insist on building him up as some superstar? He got a tap in goal and a PK.

    I'll just shut up since no one can have their own opinion.

    He's scored 49 goals in less than three year, that's pretty good. Niko has been Pauno excuse the entire year as why we haven't won.
    Oh, yeah PLEASE shut up......

    With Nico out because of the red card, I bet Pauno subs out Niko and trys to bunker the last 45 minutes. So I predict a 3-2 loss..

    Unlike "my man" Nikolic, Sapong has scored in double digits twice in his career.

    Nikolic has every season.

    ALL goals count the same, nice or ugly or penalties.

    I guess we should cut Sapong, right?

    He has missed 2 sitters in 47 minutes.

    So much for scoring "nice goals"!

    Oh be quiet.Who ever said anything about cutting anyone? And yea, Sapong should have two already. That's part of the reason were we are today. We haven't been finishing the ones we should be. I wonder what our record would be if we would have made half of those.

    Paunovic should bring on a defender (Lillard?) and move Schweinsteiger into midfield, since the only two players we have who are decent with the ball are out with red cards.

    We have an actual world class midfielder just sitting in central defense. Up two goals and down a man, maybe we should use his skills to control the game.

    I was watching the epl earlier today and one of the commentators mentioned that chicharito, who had just scored in the game, has never scored outside of the penalty box. It’s a huge skill to get in the right position. I’ll take tap ins all day.

    I don't care. It just bothers me some don't understand the nature of scorers. They get hot, they get cold. Just the way it is. I'm all for playing the hot foot. You just don't cast a proven player aside for one cold streak.

    Exactly, and he was cold when I said he should be benched two months ago. That's all I said. Let it go. I don't understand why its brought up all the time.

    Good of Kronholm to stop the own goal by Kappelhof.

    OK. Danhole just said "Bornstein was helping out on defense." Isn't that his job?

    Kronholm keeps the clean sheet.
