RSL - Galaxy [R] April 29th

[prk166]

Galaxy traveling to Rice-Eccles to play Real Salt Lake. Will Ellinger stick to the 3-5-2? Is Sampson actually going to "rest" Hartman?

Kries Cunningham

Kries scores what may be the "fastest goal in RSL's history. Within 5 minutes RSL makes yet another bad mistake in the defense and gifts Lannycakes his first goal of the year.

When will RSL get a clean sheet again?!?!?!?!????

[prk166]

LA's playing better right now.

It'd be nice for RSL to get the ball, be patient, and knock it around.



crap! and now cobi scores.

half-time

For the most part RSL is playing like they did against Red Bull at RES a couple weeks ago.

[Rover]

Continued failure to:

--mark

--trap

--move off the ball (except on Kreis' goal--a flash of what is possible)

--play through and not wait for the whistle

Continue to:

--ball watch

--freeze in place if we think we were fouled

--hit a wall when we attempt to manuever the ball into the attacking third

--pass to the marked man

Hopefully the coaches makes adjustments for the second half.

[Rover]

Brown and Harris in.

Cunningham and Williams benched.

Down 1-2, we make a defensive sub.

OK.

[Rover]

1-3.

Any energy or motivation just evaporated from this team.

They look like they don't have a clue what to do.

Maybe that's because they don't have a clue what to do.

Why is that?

[Rover]

Ballouchy makes an instant impact in the middle, where he should be playing anyway.

2-3 and maybe a chance in this one.

Or.

Maybe not.

That was painful to watch today. I thought last weeks game here in Houston was bad. The major player changes were made during the off-season and the results are the same. Loss after loss---I feel for the loyal fans.
