The insistence to continue to play this way when the roster CLEARLY can't may be the most frustrating part.

More frsutrating that one again watching a defender casually jog back (from not that deep really) and watch a goal scored from his spot? Bartlow was not at fault for the second goal, it was a team failure, but his complete lack of hustle is infuriating.

Also, Bartlett? Please tell me, because I only see on screen, what is he doing right this season? He's a giveaway machine.

Our outside backs are clearly not MLS starting level.

And what must be running through Dejan's mind after nights like this?

I was too harsh on our outside backs. I think James looks promising there, though i think of him as a CB.
And Harris is a just a waste of a position at this point.
We are spoontastic.

I went to bed at half and I'm honestly surprised it ended 3-0. The first 30 minutes of that game, Vancouver could have easily had 5 or 6. That was one of the most mis-matched 30 minutes of a professional soccer game I've ever seen.

Vancouver pulled back and went mercy rule. We're that team now. The one clubs get to rest their starters against.

I was looking for a comedy to watch last night to cheer me up after I watched the tragic comedy that is SKC. SKC continues to be the laughing stock of MLS.

Yes, because you can bench players for lack of effort. But continuing to play a style that the roster clearly isn't built for is an issue higher up the food chain at the club.

The only possible reason for this, other than PV infecting the stadium with a highly contagious stubborn virus, is that Rafa knows this team can’t win no matter the style, and he wants the team to get used to the philosophy and tactics of playing his way so that when the reinforcements arrive in the next two windows the players that remain will have the system ingrained and be second nature to them. Maybe, I hope.
