I have some ridiculous notion that if they lose this one, Ramos will be shown the door. Maybe Jordan too if we’re lucky.
25 crosses into the box only 4 shots on goal 42 percent possession Maric our expensive Eurogoalie Jordan special costs us a game again on a stupid clearance kick Prime example of how Jordan wastes money on a player with limitations - we could have had an American keeper with the same capacities at a much cheaper cost without having to use a valuable international slot. Fire Jordan Already!
Maric shanking a clearance again isnt Tab's fault. Fire Jordan before he can do any more damage to our club!
There was a sign up in the supporters section, my Spanish is rusty, but I believe it said "We are here for the shirt, not the players or executives." Then there were two banners calling for Jordan to be fired. Onto the game. I seriously can't make sense of Tab. Dorsey was signed off of waivers and has more minutes than Bajamich. Why? What is he doing? Surely there are no long-term plans for Urruti and Fafa, and this season is done so why not play the young guys? He sat on 4 subs tonight and the one he used was for Lassiter, who couldn't score in the red-light district of Amsterdam. Or hell, maybe we need to turn the lights off and put some hair around the goal, maybe he could put it in then.
I went to the game. Extremely uninspiring. We assuredly have the least talented squad in the league. Idk that I’ve ever seen Bajamich our “Chilean international” play 1 minute. What a joke that signing ended up being. *Edit - holy hell I didn’t realize Bajamich wasn’t Bizama. Turns out they are two different people and similarly disappointing. Poorly run, cheap club at the bottom of the table again where we belong. What a pathetic organization. I’d be fine with being awful if it was growing pains towards something better in the future. But its not.
Went. Trip to the dentist vibe and that sentiment used to be alive for visiting players n their fans here at home in Houston in August! That first 21 minutes was refreshing. Our players moved off the ball for each other and played the pass to the next man in Wildcatter Orange with pace. Shocking as it sounds, this play had us dominating the Dallas squad. Which led to the goal in the first half from Fafa and his well earned PK. Then the second half. Uff! That was painful to endure. We deserve better from all aspects of our organization. This market is forgiving but knows cheapo player signings while MLS is booming no less. Glad we didn't lose at home to those bastards. However, it just isn't good enough and someone has to take charge. And yes, us Houston hinchas are always in the stands to back our players. It is the core trait to the sport that makes soccer so followed as seen globally. But our GM Jordan needs to exit stage right gracefully.
Kids are back in school now after summer, last time Dynamo won it was last school year. THink about that. Unless there is a one-month break that is almost impossible to achieve not to win in 14 games in MLS. Sounds like there was some tension on the bench and then Ramos only used 1 sub when we need a win.
Ramos has probably lost the locker room at this point. Several players that just look visibly pissed. Picault is the most notable over the last couple of games.
I haven't heard a single person who can give any rational explanation to his decisions on lineups and subs.
Sounds like EB really brought it on Saturday night, attacking other Dynamo fans for wearing bags over their heads according to Twitter and Reddit reports. what happened to Hustle Town?
