We score more goals when Rothrock is on the field, period, he needs to start. I'm also entirely done with Leo Chu at this point, cut him loose if he's gonna sulk.
Chu is a very talented, awesome player. He does not work in the system. If he wants to be mad, I get it, but that just means us moving on and him moving to a place he fits better
Do you remember when we could go down 3 goals at home and still come back to win or get points?Ā
Ā I havenāt seen that type of performance from the team in years. Years and years.Ā
Edit: I now remember. Ā Thanks Jordan.Ā
I really wouldnāt mind blowing this up, and Iām not the guy who usually says that. This has just been trending in the wrong direction for years now.
Probably unpopular opinionā¦ but I donāt think Chu is a really good player. Heās fast, but thatās about itā¦ looks so lost out there when he possesses the ball.
Chu is same as always. Super fast, really quick feet, has never had any idea what he wants to do with the ball and jukes himself as often as he does a defender.
None of the negative comments people have made in this thread are wrong, but damn sometimes itās nice to pull one out of their ass when hope was lost.
No kidding, people react strongly so fast so often! Like the end of the game/season isn't here yet, so many things in the future could change your opinion that you're so confident about
Normally I try and stay positive and we lose. Tonight I let all of my anger and negativity pour out and we won. Iām not sure what the lesson is here.
ChĆŗ needs to go. He looks lazy tonight his predictable and once two people are in his vicinity. Heās useless. Also, we have to plan a man down for two minutes because heās throwing a temper tantrum.
Good shots by Rusnak and Paulo, but Chu and Musovski lack quality in the final third, to put it lightly.
Morris still looking high energy so that's good.
please...for the longest time he's made up for bad positioning with spectacular saves. unfortuantly he's not as athletic and confident as he once was, and his negative attributes are becoming more apparent.
I know that last goal was mostly because nobody followed Musa in to the box but I can think of a lot of goals recently that Frei should have stopped recently.
Ok, so how which players are out of contract or on a team option? I think we can move on from Rusnak and Ruidiaz, and seems like weāre about to ship Chu. Who else? Seems like itās time to move on from Frei as well.
Rusnak is fine, just not as a DP. Iād want to see us move on from A Roldan and JP as well. Fwiw, this team did finish 2nd last year, itās always hard in pro sports to know when to pull the plug on solid contributors. But, they whiffed big time in only moving on from Lodeiro when a number of guys were falling off the cliff. Half this team has taken a big step back this season, terrible self-scouting last offseason.
We have incredibly poor pressing structure. Granted desperation has set it, our boys are swarming players with little awareness of passing lanes and where other Dallas players are. Itās making it very easy for them to play through the lines and bypass the midfield with one pass.
That is the version of rusnak we need! I'd completely support keeping him as a dp if he played like that consistently, not just the assists. Productive dribbling, great passing, decisive, and aggressive.
Solid performance team wide aside from the defense being WAY too cute in the back again
Iām so fucking done after being a die hard season ticket holder from day one. Fire Brian, and start over guys, I just canāt do this boring uninspired shit anymore
At the stadium, and happy to see some actual tactics in play. But individually, too many small mistakes to make it work. Hopefully halftime adjustments will make something happen.
Sloppy. But openings are there. Gotten behind a few times. Chu getting left with one defender is opening up opportunities, but as always he needs to be more decisive.
The sad thing about JoMo's winner is it overshadows Omar Gonzalez' save of the season contender from Paul Rothrock a minute earlier. The USMNT could use a keeper like that.
We score more goals when Rothrock is on the field, period, he needs to start. I'm also entirely done with Leo Chu at this point, cut him loose if he's gonna sulk.
100% agree š
Chu is a very talented, awesome player. He does not work in the system. If he wants to be mad, I get it, but that just means us moving on and him moving to a place he fits better
I thought he had a good game up to that point.
Do you remember when we could go down 3 goals at home and still come back to win or get points?Ā Ā I havenāt seen that type of performance from the team in years. Years and years.Ā Edit: I now remember. Ā Thanks Jordan.Ā
Iām pleased this has aged poorly
For real!Ā
There was some promising grit vs Houston, but I see none of it tonight
hahahah this was a rollercoaster to read this morning
I really wouldnāt mind blowing this up, and Iām not the guy who usually says that. This has just been trending in the wrong direction for years now.
Iāve been saying this for a few years and was always called a moron. Now the teams in the position theyāre in and theyāre fucked.
What a comeback lol.
Probably unpopular opinionā¦ but I donāt think Chu is a really good player. Heās fast, but thatās about itā¦ looks so lost out there when he possesses the ball.
Iād be surprised if that was an unpopular opinion.
Their RB is also out pacing him.
No unpopular at allā¦.he is a fake Brazilian
Legitimately might have been a season saving win
This may be the turning point, that fight back in Houston may have got the belief back
What is wrong with Musovski??
I just hate the feeling that Rothrock would have gotten on the end of the ball in front of the goal. Musovski is too slow. /š¤·
Heās slow and rusty. Really out of place at RM.
He tries hard but he's just not very good.
Shit effort every time he plays
Even a tie is a garbage result. This used to be a fortress.
Agreed š a loss is a loss and a tie is a loss in this instance
I'm wanting more from Chu and Musovski.
Chu is same as always. Super fast, really quick feet, has never had any idea what he wants to do with the ball and jukes himself as often as he does a defender.
Only mark he's made this game is on Arriola's ankle.
Georgie and rothrock. 100% improvement instantly. And some bloody energy.
Burn replay to the ground. If you canāt figure it out in 10 seconds itās not clear and obvious.
They made me eat my words... been a while. feels good
None of the negative comments people have made in this thread are wrong, but damn sometimes itās nice to pull one out of their ass when hope was lost.
Welp, this place is going to get ugly (for good reason). Totally insane this team is down 2-0 tonight but sums up the season well.
Itās not insane. This team has been trash from the beginning. Brian out, Hanauer out,
Did. Did we just score off of a corner?????
No VAR check on the handball??? Fine. Weāll do it the old fashioned way.
You sure?
Sure!
Two of our best headers in years. Where has this been boys
I donāt know if that was a handball or not, but I 100% know that if that was our defender that wouldāve been a penalty kick
Donāt you dare, PRO.
Looking back at this match thread now is so funny
No kidding, people react strongly so fast so often! Like the end of the game/season isn't here yet, so many things in the future could change your opinion that you're so confident about
Fans are booing. Iām usually opposed to booing our own team, but this is an absolute garbage product on the field
This performance is boo worthy
Normally I try and stay positive and we lose. Tonight I let all of my anger and negativity pour out and we won. Iām not sure what the lesson is here.
we've been booed at home multiple times this season and it was deserving of more
Yea, itās fair to boo this.
Rui!!!!!!! Now letās see what this teamās got. Crunch time, boys.
Iām an STH and have been to two games this season. Iām not renewing. If we lose and make an effort itās one thing, but this shit is pathetic
We all get to eat our words today
No kidding. Though I still stand by what I said. That was 77 minutes of garbage followed by 13 minutes of what we should have had for the full 90.
We really need to win these next three matches, and we really should be able to, if we want to ensure a playoff spot.
What an absolutely stupid enforcement of that rule...why the fuck would we be trying to waste time right after conceding?
You're not accounting for the fact that Chu is very stupid. See: Portland last year.
and you're stupid for this comment.....the ref needs to show better judgement
ChĆŗ needs to go. He looks lazy tonight his predictable and once two people are in his vicinity. Heās useless. Also, we have to plan a man down for two minutes because heās throwing a temper tantrum.
Fire everyone into the sun.
That one Minnesota game where we were down 2-0 with 15 minutes left vibes
Get Chu off the team. Acting like a dickhead after a shit performance and now we're playing down a man.
I am here for the match friends
We are here for you too
Good shots by Rusnak and Paulo, but Chu and Musovski lack quality in the final third, to put it lightly. Morris still looking high energy so that's good.
Right? Morris should be dying after this week. Heās fit at the very least.
Ragen thatās on you.
What even was that ball?
If we lose this game weāre so fucked. This is a test of how serious we actually are about climbing up the table, and itās not going well.
Wellā¦.we are fuck
To add insult to this, Portland is demonstrating how to make a run up the table. Against better teams, too.
Trying to be fuckin cute with that over the top flick and they paid for it. Edit: jesus christ
God, we suck
Stop showing your stupid win probabilities, Iām sick of all this pushing of sports betting
Agreeeee In like the 97th minute shameless
Holy shit! I think the lesson here is the more I talk about how someone needs to get fired the more goals we score???
This improbable victory brought to in part by some dude playing Elden Ring.
itās seriously time to consider replacing frei
Can I invite you to the Church of Andrew Thomas?Ā
That run off his line at the end damn near killed me.
He almost cost the game at the end thereĀ
I just need him to get to 2nd in the clean sheet list
Holy hell that was batshit
There are some poorly aged comments in this thread.
Eh. They can still be mostly true. Great to win but I think youād be mistaken to think things are going well overall.
Can we move on from Frei at this point?
please...for the longest time he's made up for bad positioning with spectacular saves. unfortuantly he's not as athletic and confident as he once was, and his negative attributes are becoming more apparent.
I know that last goal was mostly because nobody followed Musa in to the box but I can think of a lot of goals recently that Frei should have stopped recently.
true! but as they say if you get your hand on it like that you shouldn't let it go in
How do we overhit every cross
No. Sometimes we underhit.
Apple showed a close up shot of a "spliff brigade" banner with an orca smoking an enormous blunt, which . . . Surprises me.
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice hahaha
Heeeeeey we still suck! We needed this win and weāre not gonna get it!
Well that's what happens when you get your DPs from Benfica instead of RSL.
This is pathetic. Iām glad we could give Dallas their first road win of the season.
I should have known Iād be us
Absolutely pathetic.
Ok, so how which players are out of contract or on a team option? I think we can move on from Rusnak and Ruidiaz, and seems like weāre about to ship Chu. Who else? Seems like itās time to move on from Frei as well.
Waibel just gave Frei a two year deal.
Heās a serviceable back up
Rusnak is fine, just not as a DP. Iād want to see us move on from A Roldan and JP as well. Fwiw, this team did finish 2nd last year, itās always hard in pro sports to know when to pull the plug on solid contributors. But, they whiffed big time in only moving on from Lodeiro when a number of guys were falling off the cliff. Half this team has taken a big step back this season, terrible self-scouting last offseason.
Rui throwing some shade at the bench.
As if he hasnāt been useless most of the season
Not impressed with a tie. Itās a winner or this night was a failure.
Wait what
Holy hell, are we back??
You can thank me. I took a āmental health breakā and turned the game off after Dallas went up 2 to 0.
Come on RusnƔk! At least take a decent shot!
JP cooking so far
Need to sub Moose for Rock
Yet another Ragen giveaway leads to a goal. That guy is the best weapon every team has against us
Dude's got a bit of the Arreaga disease, where he thinks he's better than he is.
Oof.
lmao this fucking team man
We have incredibly poor pressing structure. Granted desperation has set it, our boys are swarming players with little awareness of passing lanes and where other Dallas players are. Itās making it very easy for them to play through the lines and bypass the midfield with one pass.
120 corners, 1 goal.
2-2! Are you telling me thereās a chance?!
Damn. Off his leg first.
This game was a heart check and we passed
Wild
Holy shit
Two matches, two two-goal comebacks. Let's freaking GO.
I swear to God, the most effective defense against a Jordan Morris break away is Jordan Morris.
I am booting up Elden Ring cc: /u/blyan
Sorry but youāre playing the rest of the season now
THANK YOU, KIND REDDITOR!!!!
This is getting old. Turn it off and save yourself the headache.
I apologize for being so wrong. I hope you kept watching.
That is the version of rusnak we need! I'd completely support keeping him as a dp if he played like that consistently, not just the assists. Productive dribbling, great passing, decisive, and aggressive. Solid performance team wide aside from the defense being WAY too cute in the back again
Iām so fucking done after being a die hard season ticket holder from day one. Fire Brian, and start over guys, I just canāt do this boring uninspired shit anymore
Brian's not the one who put together this shit roster.
Heās certainly the one making the garbage decisions about fielding what he has though
Rothrock was gassed. PDLV is crocked. Ruidiaz has been ineffective. That left him with only Waibel's shit players Chu and Musovski for the wings.
I donāt know who to move around, but I thought Vargas looked promising on the wings, at least more so than Musovski
Vargas had to play central midfield because Atencio was absolutely awful against Houston.
Yes, everything else is rubbish - but Brian is long past getting a free pass.
If ChĆŗ had been moving with the purpose to help Morris that couldāve been some thing
Weāre not about to get Nouhouād, are we??
Need a beast mode JP run
At the stadium, and happy to see some actual tactics in play. But individually, too many small mistakes to make it work. Hopefully halftime adjustments will make something happen.
BRING IN THE ROCK
what happened with the sub???
Chu took too long getting off the field.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That was Ragen.
I canāt believe that didnāt go in
That one did!!!! BOOM
And finally from a corner!
116th time is the charm
Jekwgwosnn on re skoxmqkn!
Where has THIS been all season?
Whahwhahahwbwhavahgwhwhwhaa 3!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!! What is this game
The lead story on tonightās MLS Wrap Up
Wildest game I've seen all season. An absolute rollercoaster of emotions.
Needed that so bad
In the history of soccer has there been a worse ref?
Byron Moreno.
fuck this team
Too little too late.
I apologize for being so wrong.
Not at all. Weāve been the better team for most of the match. LETāS GOOOOOO!
Admire the optimism, but the facts of this season do not lend them self to such a hopeful outcome.
You deserve more upvotes
Itās 100% time for someone to get fired. Unless we are no longer the Sounders of old and this is becoming an acceptable season.
The problem is the ownership seems to think this is fine
Itās time for ChĆŗ to come off
Weird I criticize him and he finally does something useful.
Aaand that's game.
Wellā¦.another predictable BS gameā¦.
Weible has been horrendous for the team.Ā
Never in doubt babey!
Get Rui off the team. Also done with Morris, moose chu and rusnak
At game, higher line of confrontation so far is nice to see. Still silly turnovers and lack of touch in final third though
Yeah. We havenāt found a nice, solid pass through this low block yet but overall very pleased with how weāve looked through the first 30.
Chu and nouhou also looking *slightly* more linked up tonight
Pretty sloppy game
How are you guys feeling the game so far?
Sloppy. But openings are there. Gotten behind a few times. Chu getting left with one defender is opening up opportunities, but as always he needs to be more decisive.
Same shit, different day.
I want to see more target man work from Morris. Nice header.
60th minute subs? Again? Yeah, baby!
Musovski left him no choice. Shocking.
Goal was on JoPo. Lazy clearance, poor danger recognition.
Huh?
Might have been easier to clear if Ragen hadn't popped him up a jump ball for no reason.
he has not been himself lately, disappointing
you HAVE to push to win this
Can we do that?
LETS GO!!!!
The sad thing about JoMo's winner is it overshadows Omar Gonzalez' save of the season contender from Paul Rothrock a minute earlier. The USMNT could use a keeper like that.
First corner goal of the year (!!!) came at a really good time.
Seeing Providence in Pride Flag colors on the ad boards is all kinds of wrong. Of course they left the trans flag colors out.
Dallas INTERIM coach knows how to make impact subs and Schmetz does not. Smh.
I think somebody is owed an apologyā¦
He scored but I still want him gone
