    It's clear why Shaff is at LB now. He's had several dangerous crosses from using his speed on the overlap. Still needs to figure out how to actually play defence...

    I really like what I see out there, all things considered with our incomplete roster. Salcedo has been a rock at CB, Jimenez has looked great, Nelson has looked dangerous. This is better than what I expected in game #1.

    Guys, you've got to temper your expectations a bit here.

    We're rebuilding. There are going to be some growing pains. I think we're not going to be great to start off the year, but I think we will be competitive. Give them at least 10 games before making any grand pronouncements.

    Although inexperienced, I would consider subbing in Petrasso for Shaff, the former is clearly an actual fullback and IMO has longer run potential. Shaff just looks square peg / round hole

    JMR is playing his game, clear talent, but he’s not playing RB

    Priso for Bradley please - he got bypassed on the way for that chance that ended with that Bono save.


    Attack at least trying to penetrate the box.


    Mavinga & Salcedo decent enough.

    This isn’t hockey, have higher expectations for “rebuilds”

    ^yes on JMR, and we need to maximize his value right now. He will need to learn Obrian is sneaking behind him. .. third time now

    I think we'll see Priso at about 60 mins.

    To be fair, Shaff has not been as bad at LB as Hagglund was at RB 7 years ago in Dallas when he got burned twice in the first 7 minutes.

    So 25 mins into the first game of the season is already enough for you to decide?

    I would try to be more patient than that.

    WHY IS THE REF GOING TO THE MONITOR FOR OFFSIDE?

    Did MLS decide to make up its own rules on the usage of VAR?

    Our best players aren't coming until summer. We have kids as converted wing backs. We're not going to win many games at the beginning of this year. To think otherwise is nuts.

    They should have planned better. There is an extremely large player pool at this level worldwide. They suck at planning and getting deals done.

    Kerr was just staring and jogging near the Dallas guy in possession, JMR had to bust in from 5 yards away to put pressure. He's no where near the level. Happy with everyone else though.

    JMR looks good, Jimenez looks good but we're not getting him enough touches.

    Gut jobs aren't easy, especially ones of this size. It's happening in the most realistic way possible. It is what it is.

    I know it's an unpopular opinion but to my dying day I will maintain Michael Bradley in the opposition half looking to be creative is a possession black hole. He should never be in that position, he isn't half as good as it as he seems to think

    Deandre Kerr needs to get involved. Dude's been a passenger.
