Stop trying to convince Aerick with facts. Aerick just wants us to give him a chance for another year and a half to see if he magically turns into an American, much like we are supposed to believe that a win or two will magically erase all doubts about Ellinger's suitibility as a coach.

You know I love you Aerick, but you are so dead wrong on this...

Um, most of us were there last night to see Mehdi do some incredible stuff with the ball.

That fails to discount the fact that the other players weren't consistently making the runs they needed to, create any width, or play with speed.

The story of this match was that we sorely missed Williams. Ballouchy wasn’t able to get it done. His play was alright during the run of play, but he had some of the worst set pieces I’ve seen. Ballouchy sometimes slows the game down when we need pick up the pace. He is all about possession play.

We had a very anemic offense and the service in to the forwards was very weak.

There was a lack of movement off the ball.

I shudder to think what will become of RSL without Pope and Sequeira.

Once again, Williams should have been in from the start. His lack of service into the forwards was sorely missed.

I don't have issue with Forko, he played a great game, I am more concerned with a certian person losing Garey as he made his run right through the centre and scores unmarked and without a serious challenge from Garlick. That's more the problem.

Seemed to have been a communication problem between Talley and Pope...I thought Talley came off Garey sooner than necessary AND Pope was late to step up...with that being said, Garlick looked horrible on the goal.

For what its worth, it was cool to see all the RCB and Loyalists during the Crew broadcast. The Brothers in flaming red troll hair especially are very photogenic.

It is my goal to be seen in every broadcast.

😉

I almost got to show the crowd at RES the buddah as well but they moved the camera before I got my shirt up.

Hey I am confused, why did Ellinger pull Torres for Forko?

I was all for Forko being out there and trying something different, but in my book Talley is the problem not Torres and please, no more Akwari!!!

And can someone get me the cell # for Gustavo Cabrera? I want to see if he is still alive.
