[TripItUp]

Ferreira???

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

It's really annoying how long it takes DraftKings to get the lineups loaded. Anyone have the Els side?

Captain Weah, Dest, Robinson, Jesus, Musah; Larin

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Can't watch until after Jeopardy, so I'm watching you guys. Unlike GGG, I'm leaning on my binkies to start tonight.

 

[TLEF316]

Of COURSE the VAR official is mexican

 

[ChiefD]

This field looks really narrow.

 

[Rustoleum]

This field looks really narrow.

EVERYTHING shrinks when it’s that cold.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ref looking a little shaky.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Auuuughh!

 

[TLEF316]

Pepi scores there. Brutal 

 

[Rustoleum]

Ooof. Should’ve buried that.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Ugh

 

[TripItUp]

Two misses by Ferreira 

sigh 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Pepi scores there. Brutal 

and Jozy draws a penalty 

 

[TripItUp]

Ferreira???

Bump

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I will never get tired of Weah's movement off the ball.

 

[gianmarco]

Very toothless in the final 3rd so far, but loving the overall shape. I know it's ELS, but easy to take it for granted when we have this quality out there.

 

[gianmarco]

A lot of sloppy touches, though.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ref looking a little shaky.

Just a bit sus.

 

[TLEF316]

This game is crying out for a musah drive up the middle of the field

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Tuned in just in time to see bad Dest

 

[Moe.]

Ooh that little McKennie Weah combo was so good there 

 

[gianmarco]

Seems like it's been a long time since we've seen quality from Dest out there.

 

[TripItUp]

Swag is having a great game 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I’m starting to get a little bit pissed off right now. 

 

[Moe.]

We gonna talk about Pulisic being bad or nah 

 

[TripItUp]

We gonna talk about Pulisic being bad or nah 

Uneven for certain 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

We gonna talk about Pulisic being bad or nah 

Playing LW like a RWB.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I blame the shirts

 

[CletiusMaximus]

We gonna talk about Pulisic being bad or nah 

I was just thinking maybe someone roofied him? He’s lost. 

 

[Moe.]

I’m about to be in full on Dennis Quaid mode over here 

 

[gianmarco]

This game needs some Aaronson.

 

[Sinn Fein]

McKennie is going to win this - by himself, if he has to.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

McKennie is going to win this - by himself, if he has to.

"if"?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Pretty decent half.  Can't think of a whole lot to say except keep doing what they're doing and find each other with the last pass instead of kicking it directly into the defender standing three yards away.

ETA:  Might bring Aaronson on for CP sooner rather than later though.  It's kind of inescapable at this point that the team just looks more fluid when he's not on.

 

[ChiefD]

It’s comically bad how Robinson crosses the ball. It’s like watching Pedro Cerrano trying to hit a curve ball.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I mean, they've been the better team.  They haven't played aggressively bad.  But when you don't have a true center forward and you don't have anyone who's a really great crosser of the ball, you're going to look lost in the final third. 

Jedi could be the worst crosser of the ball that I've ever seen.  I want to look him up in FM22 and see if they've given him anything over a 6 in crossing.  

Musa has been strangely invisible.  Wes and Sergino have blown hot and cold.  Jesus has facilitated a lot of the attack, but the misses loom big.  I think Weah was pretty easily the best performer.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

It’s comically bad how Robinson crosses the ball. It’s like watching Pedro Cerrano trying to hit a curve ball.

Rarely gets over a foot off the ground. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

They are not getting anything out of the left side of the field.

Pulisic has absolutely no confidence in his dribble tonight.

If we are going to go striker-less, put Pulisic in the middle and bring in Aaronson on the left.

 

[Moe.]

This game needs some Aaronson.

For Pulisic and now I think. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Do we have anyone that can make decent corner kicks? Pulisic isn't cutting it. 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Doyle agrees with the recent comments here re: CP.

 

[ChiefD]

Busio.

 

[Moe.]

Maybe move Weah to the middle, I really hope we just do something at half. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Doyle

CP is all over the place, in the worst way. 

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Eh, the first half of a football match is just flirting anyway.

 

[Dr_Zaius]

Agree with the consensus here.  Weah and McKennie have been great, everyone else meh.  Not sure what’s going on on the CP Jedi side.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Doyle agrees with the recent comments here re: CP.

That passing network is close to another Constellation of Sadness.

 

[BassNBrew]

Zardes scores there. Brutal 

This game needs some Zardes.

For Pulisic and now I think. 

 You guys are always wanting to sit Captain America before he saves the day.  It's comical.  You have one player that can break down multiple defenders and you want to bench him.  

 

[Ned]

Jedi could be the worst crosser of the ball that I've ever seen.  I want to look him up in FM22 and see if they've given him anything over a 6 in crossing.  

Oh how quickly we forget about Yedlin crosses. 

 

[BeTheMatch]

Do we have anyone that can make decent corner kicks? Pulisic isn't cutting it. 

Does the US have a goal off set pieces yet in qualifying?
