Zimmerman is the only reason that wasn't a goal, amigo.

Dest has been tired since he made that great run

the moment has big too big for the young team today...too anxious with their chances...

The only guy it was too big for was Gregg. 

[WBT 20,618]

Yikes, Dest with the shot that goes out for a throw.  That's never good.

[ztejas 43,480]

Gotta be better there CP.

Hasn't had a great game today. 

[Captain Ron 12,883]

Musah - you beautiful man

oh man, that was SOOO CLOSE!!

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Fuckkkkkk

Eh, Gregg has been terrible but he can’t finish for these guys either.

[Longboard Horn 40,353]

Weston was close

[SpiralOut 1,818]

Goddamn Weston.  Dude is absolutely unable to shoot the ball anywhere but into the fucking stands. 

[SameSame 1,705]

one timer maybe, since you had your hand up and all

The entire squad No showed the first half. Gregg sucks but this was a team effort (or non effort). Now they play like their hair is on fire but it’s way too late. Disappointing to not even be a threat to win. 

[pacman 7,359]

precision in attack lacking, allows the dutch to get back in shape on d

[WBT 20,618]

Good run and pass by Gio

Or play defense. 

Gregg should be fired based on today but like I've repeated ad nauseum this roster ain't it. A QF run is the best we could have hoped for. 

[Doc Sam Beckett 5,793]

Fuck, just completely different with Gio

That's what we've been SCREAMING for. It's been infuriating to not see him in there.

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Didn't catch who it was, but that Dutch winger just made our entire left side look stupid. It was both beautiful and frustrating to watch.

LOL not on the back line we aren't. 

But yes he should have been playing from the jump. 

We need a great manager for this next window. 

[Bateshorn 9,928]

Fuck the Dutch passing is so crisp

Hell, I would take a GOOD manager. It is Gergg we're talking about.

Sounds like the noise I made watching him destroy our side.

Like a damn video game against somebody that knows how to use all the buttons

Yeah. 

Absolutely no bench depth.  Players still don't have the ability to quickly handle the ball and move it on.  They still have trouble creating chances.  When they do create chances, they can't finish.  Our set pieces are beyond awful as well. 

And then on top of all that, the coach fucking sucks.

We're still a big step down from the top-tier squads.  And it's a BIG step.

We're still a big step down from the top-tier squads.  And it's a BIG step.

 

You aren't wrong but that step can be made up quickly in the next 4 years. 

We need a better LB and two good CBs. And a striker. And optimally Dest is a 3-5 wingback not a 4-3 RB. 

The dream is Pep. I'd love Jesse Marsch but I think he's doing to well in the prem to want to leave. Wonder if we could lure him. 

[Hank_Hill 18,883]

How do you not keep carrying that forward Weah geeezzz

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,119]

Just now in the B gates lounge so I can watch.  Ughhhh.

[pacman 7,359]

Musah!!!! Do Something!!!! just casually jogging into the box likes he is going to win a header against van dijk

The communication is piss poor by our players when a Dutch defender is running down the ball from the dribbler’s blindside

LoL @ Wright warming up.

 

Aaronson will be coming on. Dutch seem tired, so LVG will have to respond to Brenden's energy with a couple of subs, as well.

Brenden

Oh cool, Haji Wright. Our problems are solved. 

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Aaronson and Wright coming on.

I still absolutely do not understand the decision to not bring Pepi.  Bring the kid and get him some experience. 

Same baffling decision making with not playing Gio.
