Post-match: San Jose Earthquakes - New York City FC (Friday, 8/5) postgame thread [R]

Quakes tying their way to a slow painful death.

 

so painful to watch...

inept tepid offense...wondo sucked, QA sucked, Dawkins (a DP who is subbed out at half? injury?) sucked...and was our Ferrari driving million dollar striker even at the game?

thought Stewart and the rest of the backline did a good job.....

please baby jesus get Doyle the hell out of there....

and next week they play on the crappy plastic field in Vancouver....god help us....

 

That game ended with zero of our dps on the pitch. This is pretty pathetic.

 

Dim I mean Dom is a garbage coach now. I'm fairly certain based on our lack of finishing and pregame warmup of "only let Quincy and Wondo shoot" that the coach is not focusing on shooting drills.

I am very sad he brought his 1-0 0-0 1-1 crappy brand to San Jose.

He is horrible at adapting, has no plan B and doesn't realize when you need a goal you can take a DEFENSIVE player out and put an OFFENSIVE player in.

I also can't wait until we don't have to depend on Wondo anymore. Its up to our coach to change that mindset but the league has passed him by.

 

Back from the game. NY brought a lot of energy which made things interesting. The Quakes certainly got into the box and had their chances. I don't know what the total Shots On Target was, but it was disappointingly sucky. I probably would have been happy with the game earlier in the season. But no one has any use for ties at this point. And our goal scoring is pretty anemic.

 

This team is in need of some offensive spark and yet Tommy is languishing on the bench. Why isn't Dom playing him at all? And why isn't Doyle and the FO pressuring Dom to play him? Why didn't the FO aggressively find some offense during the transfer window. I swear they'll use the ASG prep as an excuse. Haven't they heard of multitasking?

 

How can a guy with zero goals or assists in a three year career be an offensive spark?

 

When he's the only creative offensive player on the bench...

 

The point of soccer is to create goals. Exactly what does TT create?

In the back of my mind during this game, I had this little thought in the back of mind. Just keep nibbling away at my consciousness....what if we had a million dollar goal scorer...what a difference that would make on this team...if only....if only...but who would that be?

 

I was at the game. I was looking at the ball. I saw a kid make a save that Bingham would be drooling over.
I saw wondo hoof a shot.

Speaking of Wondo, I've said it before, I'll say it again, he is over paid and rubbish.
He took WAYYYYY to long on that one on one with col.Saunders. a sitting header is also missed.
The guy doesn't have it. He's riding that one season high he had many moons ago. He is not worth even 200k at the most anymore. Benchwarmer material, against a toothless NYCFC squad.
We play too much down the wings and cross it in to no one, because literally only two people were in the box.






I don't know, my JV team could finish better than that, they could also make better passes into the box. I'll take over the coaching position, at this point, it couldn't possibly hurt us any more, could it?
Just a mess...Everything about that game was a bit of a mess. No wonder everyone congregates in the LOBINA, there is really nothing to watch on the pitch. If anyone wants to pay $20 to see a football match, our season starts in November, I'm sure for $20 a bunch of 14-16 year old boys could give you more bang for your buck....Just saying.

 

After Barret went in for Quincy, we basically had no attacking fire power left on the bench. TT was the closest thing available and that tells you how our team is built.

We got rid of 2 offensive players and acquired a DM.

The defenders and midfielders did their job fine tonight. It was the forwards who didn't get the job done. And we barely have any options in that department.

Fire Doyle!

 

That was pretty dire. We looked awful and the team of aging millionaires looked just as bad. I referreed three U19 games toady at the Sporting Invitational today, and at least four of those teams showed way more skill than what we were treated to tonight. I was just sorry that Jason didn't have one of those WTF moments he always used to have for us.

 

the game atmosphere on the ground level was good; while the game atmosphere on the 2nd tier is terrible.
Anyone else notice this difference?

 

Lucky us; we earned another point at home. Hooray!!

 

Anyone notice that Innocent didn't make the 18 tonight?
I'm starting to feel bad for the guy with the transfer window closing.

 

Anyone know if any media outlets have reported on innocent's current situation?

 

I think you kind of just argued against your own point. Is Dom a bad coach or was it lack of finishing by the players? Dom had a good game plan the last two games but our players could not finish. We generated quite a few quality chances against houston. I also really liked our high press tactics tonight, they worked very well. In the end, the players have to find a way to finish some of those quality chances that we keep creating.

 

Find a way? Have you checked our team and player stats recently? Same old same old.

 

We have the shooting prowess of a U-15 team. Amerikwa and Dawkins both phoned it in tonight. It was no surprise Salinas came in, they felt he could run by an aging Jason Hernandez. Wondo was sub par. The fact that Alashe went out was fine, he was totally spent, but, we should have put in an offensive midfielder, (TT) instead of a d-mid who has only been here a day or two. Another example of Kinnear playing not to lose. Defensively we were pretty solid. I might agree with the Ceren subbing if this was a road game, but we need to play to win at home. Totally inexcusable. Kinnear is a chickensh*t.

 

The Earthquakes these days remind me of the Orphans gang in The Warriors -- pathetic.

 

Uhh, what else is new? I am actually feeling bad for us with the transfer window closed.
