    I think this game is proving why our normal starting back 5 is our normal starting back 5...

    Why the *%^#*!$* does no one on our team ever step up to stop them from shooting when it’s obvious they are squaring up

    Also, what the heck is the idea with swapping out your two CB’s AND your Gk? Aside from the first five minutes Irwin has not looked solid.

    1 back. Good to see Shin on the score sheet.

    Guessing that Wilson and Abu needed a break. Too many matches too close together, plus travel.

    No idea about Yarbrough.

    Really poor. Conceded a hat trick to a dude I'd never heard of.

    I’m not a soccer player, so my understanding is limited here...

    But why did Irwin get so close to Price on that last goal?? Price has the near post covered, and Irwin is middle of the goal. Good solid positioning . The ball gets cycled outside, and Irwin positions himself within 1ft of price, leaving 3/4 of the net WIDE open.

    What the heck? Also, definitely missing Yarbrough’s leadership on defense. He’s constantly barking at and organizing the back 5. And it’s clearly audible in TV. Irwin is silent by comparison on the broadcast.

    Price’s “defense” has also been missing

    Weren’t ready to play. Very much resembled the effort at the tournament. In other words, they have snatched back the carrot again.

    So is it just me, or when the Wednesday Lineups play, and I understand 'load management', they look like this is the *first* time they have practiced together? Really???? "Hi Clint, my name is Jack"?????

    I watched the highlights. Jealous they have some fans in the stadium. Should they be wearing masks if you are sitting sort of near some people for 45 minutes, even if it's outside? Maybe it only matters when at the bathroom and on the concorses, etc...

    Anyway, bummer we didn't score when we hit the post. Looks like we created chances and the game was entertaining. Oh well.

    Only watched highlights on youtube but looked like Irwin had a bad one. He has to get a hand on that header goal, looked tenative on the 3rd goal and completely out of position on the 4th.
