San Jose Earthquakes - St. Louis CITY SC (Saturday, 9/20) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

NFW

 

I expected us to lose, and I’m still angry and disappointed.

We’re crap, and Bruce doesn’t recognize his best eleven, nor how to prepare the team.

 

Wasn’t this the game we were gonna “stop making mistakes” because we keep making them. I guess the “don’t make mistakes” method to stop the mistakes is not working.

 

Only positive is that Bouda’s playing well. He should start every game from here on out.

 

this is so hard to watch..and I am on Eastern time!!...sell the club, fire the coach, the bandaid they hired for a coach for a couple of years is not working...at the end of next year what will we have??an even older OLDEST coach in the league, YIPPEE

 

We are bad, and we don’t seem to care that we are bad.

 

Putting several orange traffic cones out there may be more effective than our defenders. Our defense including the midfielders is pathetic. They don’t follow runners and allow the other team so much time to make the next offensive pass. At the same time our idea of defense is just stuffing the edge of the box but they still allow the other team sneak through easily.

This is the type of defense we had last year under Luncho and with Gruezo playing DM. Same problem this year.

And our midfielders and strikers are very static when they don’t have the ball. No one makes the run and it is easy to defend. Our only way to advance the ball s by individual players driving the ball forward forcing the issue. There is no passing or cohesion.

 

How did we not make any subs at halftime? I’d have pulled Wilson for Rodrigues just to show that I won’t put up with that shit.

And I’d have pulled MAK for Leroux.

Doesn’t look like we care.

We look like we’re in second gear and shocked when the other guys play with urgency.

 

Hey!!
That was a goal!

 

Subs?

 

Finally, offensive subs!

 

The ref is letting waaaay too much go. The foul on our defender a moment ago was a blatant yellow card.

 

wonder why Super Bowlero (Beau Leroux) is in the doghouse??

 

Clearly a foul on Viera, at least a yellow card, but the ref gives Sh#t Louie a free kick! WTF?!

 

Is it that? Or is he nursing an unreported injury? Or does Bruce think that Beau is worn out?
