How about another Tommy Thompson interview before the game? That worked great last year!

It feels like 2018 when I knew it would be another horrible loss but kept watching the game each week. And then ask myself why? Repeat and rinse.

Are we sure Stahre, Watson, Dom or Ralston are no longer with us?

 

I’m sure they’re gone . None of them would have blooded a teenager....

 

"Blooded"?

 

Definition:

blood
/bləd/

past tense: blooded; past participle: blooded
initiate (someone) in a particular activity.
"clubs are too slow in blooding young players"

 

Yes, I saw that on Google after I posted here. Seems to derive from hunting jargon. Hence my cultural ignorance.

 

Hehe, I do agree it’s usage is weird, but accurate.

 

It looks like Philly will be without starters McKenzie and Aaronson and we will be without Yueill and JT due to U23 national team duty.

 

Missing Jackson is going to suck. Can we get Judson back? Or are we going to play Calvillo or Luis Felipe at d-mid? We really should replace Vega with JT or Bersano. Vega is not getting it done.

We need more changes beyond replacing Vega, but a new ‘keeper is a must.

As for PU missing two of their best guys? They way we’ve been playing, PU’s U23s could crush us.

Go Quakes!
We stink!!
Fisher OUT!!

Based upon the first two games, missing Yuell may be good. Vega had one good and then one horrible game. Hopefully this will be a good game and then we can replace him in the next game. That work?

 

We need more than that.

We definitely need Flo on the backline. If at all possible, we need Judson at d-mid. I'd replace Vega, at least for one match, with Bersano. Hoesen needs to play as the #9, and we can shift Rios to #10, with Espinosa and Vako out wide. Magnus to the bench, except that we won't have Jackson, so maybe Luis Felipe or Calvillo at the other d-mid spot?

We need to make some substantial changes is what I'm getting at. Too many of our guys stunk it up at several different positions. And we need to correct our marking on corners or we're going to give up a metric crap-ton of goals this year.

GO Quakes!!
Fisher OUT!!

The Mar-21 home game is now postponed. Is anyone going to update the forum for that?

 

Scott Rhode updated with a Quakes tweet in another thread. You're posting in the Philadelphia game thread, involving a game that is still scheduled.

 

Have there been any coronavirus cases in Philadelphia?

 

Even with the lackluster performance last week, I was still looking forward to watching this match......

guess I'll go wash my hands again....

 

Boy, I guess I'm going to get a lot of work around the house done over the next few weekends...
