Robb's tweet about how players need to knock it off with the "we weren't good enough" tweets is spot-on. No excuses. None.

I actually thought Skc did a good job through the middle. I hate it that they are the same damn team they have always been though. No finishers. Move the ball up the sidelines throw it in wildly. Same ole shit.....Pretty much 90's chiefs swing pass 3rd and 13...

Pathetic performance at home. I've been worried about this team since the beginning of the season when I thought they did not look cohesive. I worried that they would consistently be able to put together a solid performance. Well, they haven't been. Nielsen had a nice game (except when he was almost poached again) but aside from him NO ASPECT OF OUR GAME IS CLICKING ON ALL CYLINDERS. Not one.

This late in the season with two championships on the line it is shocking how discombobulated we look on the field. Not sure why the best defender in the league and a USMNT starter is on the bench. Not sure why our DP is on the bench. Not sure why Saad was on the bench. WTH was that starting lineup? If we don't close strong or make a serious run in the playoffs and CONCACAF then someone's head needs to roll over losing our second leading scorer in a playoff run. Would be fine with me if it was Vermes'.

Not even trippin.

Next game.

What keeps me somewhat positive is to take a look back to last year's playoffs. Being seeded higher offered no advantage whatsoever.

All SKC has to do is to make it in. They won't be disadvantaged by being a 3 or 4 seed or whatever. Once they're in, either they play well or they don't. Both outcomes for the 2013 SKC squad seem likely.

Demonpenz 09-28-2013 09:35 PM

I think that keeper for the Union played off the chain yesterday as well. SKC moves the ball well, but doesn't finish well. Maybe they get some luck in the playoffs...who knows. At this point I would like Dwyer and Saad to start and of course Besler in the back. Still a very good team in the MLS.

Jacob Peterson is horrible. He touched the ball 11 times and completed 3 passes. No shots on goal. He's never seen a game in his life that his presence has effected. No reason he should start over Saad.

CJ is also horrible. He can't do anything useful against teams that don't suck. His botched finish in the 2nd half was shocking. Free shot in the six yard box, and he sailed it over 10 feet. If any of you have played soccer, you'll know that leaning your weight back on a volley is a big no-no. I don't understand how a professional forward can have such bad mechanics.

You'd think a Uri-Feilhaber-Zusi midfield would be able to break down teams, but this hasn't been the case all season. At this point, I don't know what the answers are.

Demonpenz 09-28-2013 10:30 PM

I am not a CJ fan at all, but he is athletic as ****. Glad Nielson is playing better.
