I can safely say I understand all the complaints Swansea had about him. At first I thought they cut him loose too early but now I know why.Originally Posted by Mr. Inbetween

Really missing Osorio this match.
Honestly this is pretty much what you'd expect, though yes our mid field is especially off. But for me, only real thing I'm reading into here is the continued issues with our DPs (in this case, DP). Otherwise yeah never expected much with the pieces we had
Shaff just winning a last second penalty is more upsetting than the game so far
If Austin continue not knowing how to make the right decision on the final pass we might absolutely steal a point here

We spend so much fucking time carrying the ball instead of letting it do the work. Simple, quick, smart movement. How many times did either Kaye or Mabika or Bernardeschi get stripped in that half?
The support movement is shit, too, nothing quick and obvious, just more attempts to roll it down the wings.
It's just fucking dreadful. No switch of field, no catching the other team high and firing it out to the wing, no attempts to beat the back line. Do any of our players know how to hit a cross-field switch or a long through ball?
How frustrating is it looking at our squad and what we're lacking... and realizing we traded away the very type of pacy line breaking forward that can progress the ball for all of our slow guys... for a bag of pucks... lol a humble youth product at that

Half time: Zero shots on goal, zero shots. Does Bob Bradley have to refund his pay if it stays like this?
Not watching the second half.
Good luck guys, hope it gets better.
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Mind boggling incompetency
Servania off is a good move.
antonoglou and servania out for mbongue and thompson
Well he did.....Sapong on the left.
good ball by kaye, franklin breakaway and he has to do way better...heavy touch
\+laryea back to wing back which is a good decision as he was just not involved enough in the first
Austin without Driussi are...not good. They have no idea what to do with the ball. I really think the point is there for us with a bit of luck, and we may even sneak a chance.
Can we complete just one through ball.. our passing in the final third is just atrocious.
That's an incredible stat about only ever winning once in Texas.
Their subs are going to make it difficult for us.
dp rigoni coming in as well as former mls dp zardes
Hedges with a possible handball; lucky. Kobe ignoring Fede; ballsy. Wolff now adjusting to BBradley; decisive, regardless if correct.
Jordan Faria debut
#playin'thekids
Wow Fede off. Wow.
bernardeschi out for faria who played finnish d3 last year
I don't love that. Maybe it's an injury/tiredness maybe it's sending a message but... bad as he's been, if anyone would steal a goal from nothing here it's Bernie
Feels like there's a story there.
Fede gave up. He stopped running in the second half, stopped pressing, was behind the play.
Looks like they’ll play for another draw with these subs. Taking Fede off was crazy
What is Kaye doing there. Some refs might've given red on that
No communication. Kaye is about to be triple teamed and no one tells him 'time', or 'man' or anything to get him to move the ball.
Three man wall seems a mistake.
At least Kaye was playing like a gave a shit there. I respect the decision to pull Fede. Nobody should be immune to having their performance called out.
