Boxy appreciation post

 

"I know you American people have a fascination with substitutes"

He did it again. Adrian Heath continues to talk down to supporters like they are morons

We actually have a fascination with managers blowing games by not using correct substitutions

This bullshit pisses me off

Updates: #MNUFC center back Bakaye Dibassy is fit from thigh injury and is available to make his 2021 season debut vs. #RSL on Saturday, manager Adrian Heath said. Winger Niko Hansen (thigh) also ready to go for first time this season, but Ethan Finlay dealing with a sore knee.

Update: #MNUFC talisman Emanuel Reynoso (knee) is "a case of whether we want to ... get to the stage where we feel as though we might do him more harm than good for 90 minutes (and) 2-week (break) after," Adrian Heath said. "We'll probably make a decision" for #RSL on Saturday.

News: #MNUFC star midfielder Emanuel Reynoso won't play against #RSL on Saturday night; it will be interesting to see how #Loons manager Adrian Heath sets up the team without the vital Argentine playmaker. https://t.co/qbFnWFkphE

What the heck was that?

 

We are a very fragile team. Even with what seems to be decent depth, we fall a part with 1-2 missing players.

 

Two games in a row he used all his subs?

"Frank Pain" is going to be fun on that left side. Midfield was really good at stretching and being very quick, giving Reynoso a bit more time on the ball.

 

Michael Boxall will be one of New Zealand’s three allowed over-age players at the Olympics. It’s a huge blow for #MNUFC, but luckily Jukka Raitala will be available by the time Boxy departs.

Saturday’s #MNUFC match is going all-out #MLSAfterDark.

Going to truly be “Loons, after hours.”
Did people see what the temp was supposed to be in Portland on Saturday?

 

Did not get to watch this one. Three points!!

Having said that, not looking good for Fragapane.

Article: Portland Timbers coach Gio Savarese said midfielder Diego Chara was subjected to a racist comment during Saturday's game vs. Minnesota United.

A #MNUFC spokesman said Adrian Heath spoke with the player and he "says he didn’t say anything."https://t.co/lPdTm9SetU

Note: #MNUFC Jan Gregus and Jukka Raitala have returned from international duty, the club said Monday. Robin Lod is Finland and Romain Metanire is headed to France as they seek U.S. green cards. We'll see this week if those starters can return for Saturday's game vs. San Jose.

As much as I am getting tired of Dotson at various positions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is used back there.

I do wonder with more players getting green cards if they are opening spots for incoming transfers? Would love for another veteran CB.

 

Note: It's possible #MNUFC winger Robin Lod returns in time for Saturday's game vs. #Quakes74, while defender Romain Metanire is more of a long shot to be at Allianz Field this weekend. #Loons internationals have gone to Finland/France to work on their U.S. green cards.

Best thing about the game.

We've got a post-game proposal 💍

Congrats, Hassani Dotson 🙌

Troublemaker

I think if healthy, he plays.


Btw: I am wondering if we are going to see Finlay or Gregus much longer.
