Pre-match: Fire at second worst team in oHIo, Cincinnati (Pig City) FC 4.18.26 6:30 pm Apple TV

Fire losing all composure. Don’t give away the game too.

 

Two hands to Borso’s neck should be a red!!!
10min?!?!!

we have zero attack since Zinck left the pitch

 

10 minutes? Crazy.

 

Lousy ref. Missing multiple obvious fouls

 

Fire looking all out of sorts. Need a player to put a foot on the ball and put Cincinnati under pressure.

 

Kicking Borso forward?

 

He's swallowed the whistle on anything against blue.

 

BRADY!!!! HOLY MACKERAL!!!

 

Wow what a dive

 

Shoulder to shoulder…

 

NO WAY WAS THAT A FOUL ON MBOKAZI!!! 50/50% ball

 

Solidify this point and let’s go home…
Shoulda been 3pts, but fine, we saw our offense click for the first time this season and there’s lot of film for GGG to evaluate our midfield connection with the back line.

 

Well... if you had told me it was going to be a draw going in I would have been ok with that but having been up by 2 goals for a time it's a draw that feels like a loss.

 

I’m going to be hanging onto that Nashville win through the summer. Fire not putting away bad teams…means maybe we aren’t a good enough team?

 

After multiple good to excellent matches by the back row, this was not a good night for them.

 

Eh, that was a ridiculously physical game that the ref let the home team have some favor.

plenty to work on, but that’s not a ‘bad draw’ against a team that is expected to be top 3 and are not, so they are fighting for their lives at home.

After 8games we are 1.75pts/game and a +4 GD…can’t recall when we last had those types of numbers at this point in the season.

 

My opinion is it was more about our CDMs and the wings playing high…it worked until FCC adjusted to it. Our CDMs were not shifting to open players, they were just sitting in a structure.
Would have like to see a tactics change before ‘the dam broke’ and the subs

 

Unfortunate own goal from Davilla and the spill made the eye test under rate, but 6 true goal stopping saves makes him MOTM

 

I wouldn't give the ref too much grief...the first Cuypers goal was offside in my book and we got away with that.

Pete (is satisfied with the away draw)

 

ok. Add DMs to players not having a good game. Players at this level need to know when to adjust.
