    Miazga is such a troll lol. I can't argue with his assessment of Rossi's constant bitching.

    And this is why Wednesday's game was a bad tie. We needed 3 pts on Wednesday.

    Cucho would've buried, like, eight of those chances.

    Im convinced a dude like Adam jahn or bedell just fumbles a chance in. Will they do anything else? No. Bring em on for 5 minutes

    I think we should try scoring first vs fcc for once.

    Completely agree. I said as much after the game on Wednesday -- if we beat Cincy, it was worth it. If we don't, it wasn't.

    Well, we didn't, so it wasn't.

    We intentionally saved some starters for the more important match, hoping that the gulf in talent would be large enough that we could possibly win that one anyway. The end result is that we potentially sacrificed two points in the name of getting three tonight, and only got one anyway. It's a bad week. Even with two points.

    And I'm not saying I would have played it any differently. I would have done exactly what Nancy did for the reasons I've already mentioned. But the results are what the results are, and the move didn't pay off.

    Miami and Cincinnati have it figured out. Give away 70% of the possession, push the ball out to Arfsten and Farsi, and the only way the Crew will score is via penalty. They've beat one elite team in the last 12 months. It just isn't good enough.

    Gazdag goes to the ground easy, but I thought he got clipped a couple of times that weren't called that should have been fouls.

    And yet we still had three or four opportunities that we absolutely should have buried.

    We just need to figure it out when we get those chances.

    My hot take is I would’ve let Gazdag take the PK. He’s pretty clearly struggling with the pressure to score at this point, and if it wasn’t a problem before I’d say it certainly is now.

    And if Arfsten keeps making poor decisions on the ball, that is a good strategy to use against us.

    Id let him take a game and watch how the crew work. He runs a lot, but im not sure hes in the exact right half space.

    And execute quick counters.
    And play behind the wings.

    We can admire Nancyball.

    And also recognize that several teams would rate their chances vs the Crew in the postseason.

    The possession stats aren't a deterrent to them.

    The edge ... if it exists... isn't that large at the moment with this current roster.

    Predicted a tie; but not terribly happy about getting it.

    Team still needs work. Chambost is probably the player I'm happiest with at this point.

    The one or two brain farts our defense seems to be having each game are concerning and the finishing definitely needs work.
