    New Kamara. New lineup. Same draw. 1-1 final. 1 point at home.

    all things considered, no one here would have argued with a draw from this match

    we looked bright at first, but we really petered out into dullness

    While I feel we could have won that game, I'm not too disappointed. Well, I am, but... They are SS Leaders and we got a point from them.

    Maybe if we hadn't given up a goal on another ********ing set-piece I'd feel differently.

    It looked like we could have played on for hours and hours and never scored. Away draws are almost like wins in MLS, so Colorado will be very happy.

    the most disappointing aspect of this result has to be how completely anonymous Ola was throughout

    in a game where i'm sure he knew everyone was expecting at least something encouraging from him, i can't recall even a single damn memorable moment from him from the entire game

    More points dropped at home.

    Wonder how long it's going to take for them to finally abandon the unsuccessful approach of running the offense solely through crosses from the wingers?

    This is a damn good Colorado team. Hard to be upset with this one. Ola played decent but we really need a star striker in the summer window to replace Kei. Cedrick, Afful or Clark should be MOTM.

    We need a taller mobile forward. Many crosses went over O samara's head. he can't jump high enough.

    Afful was great tonight.

    Apparently Wahl was hurt, hence his not being in the 18.

    Are you serious? I thought he looked bright, but was just a hair off/late. I think more first team practice and another game or two and he might just shine. That near flick deft touch attempt was sick.

    Blame Sauro all you want on the goal but there is no excuse for not having anyone on the back post. The goal was 90% wide open and could have been easily cleared if someone was standing right where the ball was hit.

    This is where we will miss Kei on both ends. OK likes the ball played to his feet.

    He didn't do much, though to be fair the weak header he put on target in the second half was a really tough chance.

    I'd like to see somebody beat their man in a 1 v 1. We don't have any players who can do that. Meram is one of the few that tries, and he fails 90% of the time.

    He played much better with Cedrick on the field tha Ethan. Cedrick seemed to want to play the ball to guys feet instead of lobbing it into the box.

    that near-attempt headed flick at goal was actually literally the only moment i could remember from him

    but no, i'm totally serious. was there anyone else worth remembering? i'll admit, i nodded off every now and then and stopped paying attention

    Yeah, Wahl suffered a concussion after going 90 in a meaningless friendly on Wednesday. Glad we dumped Amaro despite having no plan in the event of an injury to a CB

    Were your eyes closed while Cedrick was on the field? WTF are you talking about???

    Ashe took his guy on 1v1 and was successful, same with Afful.

    Hopefully Parkhurst isn't badly hurt. His arm hung limply at his side most of the match.

    We are set up to cross balls to Kei - now the team needs to adapt. Maybe more low crosses or pull backs. Also, a decent number of the crosses were a bit wild, too high and loopy.

    I actually didn't start watching till after he scored. Afful/Finaly battled well to get crosses in several times but no, I guess my eyes much have been closed for the last 50 minutes.

    Can I blame him if I add the part where the corner was a direct result of a stupid and unnecessary foul by him at midfield? He gives up too many of those and this isn't the first time it's hurt us. He is definitely having trouble adjusting to that part of the league.

    Anytime you can get a draw out of Colorado at home, you have to do it.

    That's because Plan B Kamara is not quite as good in the air as Plan A Kamara.

    Colorado has been built in Mastroeni's image. They never back down from that that extra bump, kick etc.

    I was fine with tonight considering the week we cave had and liked all three subs.

    What I really like is that I have found a new player to hate. It's been a while but Kevin Doyle you're a piece of ********ing dog shit.
