We need major changes, we are going NO where the way we are playing. We can't score against team that leaking goals the last 2-3 games. Frankie you need to start making so changes, we have two weeks off. Pappa will be back from international duty and Friedrich should be back from injury.

Johnson, Pause need to sit.

Tornaghi
Segares
Berry
Freidrich
Gargan
Grazzini
Pappa
Nyarko
Pardo
Oduro
Rolfe

You have two weeks, to have these guys to get on the same page. We are a .500 team at best with the lineup we've been using the last two years that's not cutting it. If we continue to play this way it will be THREE years in a row not making the playoffs.

 

[Jntg4]

Three years without playoffs would be terrible for a club with this kind of history... we had only missed like once before this streak.

No MLS team has history they have to wait a few more decades to have some history.

I see what you are saying, but I disagree and don't care haha.

I couldn't see game, how did Rolfe look?

 

[firefan2001]

I couldn't see game, how did Rolfe look?

He played 21 minutes, the first 10 minutes I don't think he even touched the ball. He made a couple runs down field at full speed that looked good. He had nice play where he cut into the middle around a couple of defenders on the 18 yard line and his shot went just wide of the post.

I hope he gets some more rest for his ankle and get his fitness up. We need him in the starting 11 on June 17th against New York. If he had the chance that Oduro and Nyarko had this year he would of had 9 or 10 goals by now. His finishing skills are a whole of lot better than both Nyarko and Oduro.

Starting 11 on June 17th against New York I'd like to see if everybody is healthy and back from international duty.

Subs:

Johnson
Jumper
Anibaba
Robayo (That is if he's still with the team)
Bone
Pause (Sorry but I think that's all he's good for 5 to 10 minutes max, to give Pardo a break)
Barouch
Puppo (That is if he's still with the team).
Alex (Don't know anything about the kid, but he's Brazilian he can't be that bad can he)
Gibbs (Once he returns from injury)

others:

Dube
Gulley
Paladini
Pineda
Videira
Walls
KWS
Kinney


Rolfe needs to be uptop he's a forward not a RM, sorry but Johnson needs to go to the bench. Yes he had a couple of good saves last night, but both those goals were weak, Johnson should of saved them. The another player that needs to go to bench is Pause, we"ve had a hard enough time scoring, it doesn't help with Pause out there.

Frankie PLEASE put these guys out there together, the lineup you've been putting out there isn't working (Unless you like going down a goal or two and tiring to come to get a tie 10 out of the first 14 games we've given up the first goal).

Next 4 games are against Eastern Conference teams:

6/17 vs New York
6/23 vs Coloumbus
6/29 @ Kansas City
7/03 @ Houston

We need to starting WINNING games, starting with the next game. That will brings us to the halfway point of the year 17 games. We need to win both home games and get results in the two away games min. of points is 8 points, but I think we need to go 3-1-0 (W/T/L) to make a statement that we are for real.

We would have 9 home games vs 8 away games for the 2nd half of the season.

Home games:

Los Angeles (W)
Vancouver (W)
Toronto (W)
New England (W)
Houston (T)
Montreal (W)
Coumbus (W)
Phialdelphia (W)
DC United (T)

Does look like the hardest schedule, if we start playing the way I think this could we could easily go 7-2-0 (W/T/L), in those games.

Away games:

New York (T)
San Jose (W)
Philadelphia (L)
DC United (T)
Toronto (W)
Kansas City (L)
New York (L)
New England (W)

Alittle bit harder than our 9 home games, but it could of been worse (RSL, Seattle, Colorado, FC Dallas). I could see us going 3-2-3 (W/T/L) in these games.

I might be dreaming a bit, but the next 4 games will tell us where this team is or isn't going this year.

I'm not sold on Tornaghi over Johnson, Tornaghi didn't perform well against a PDL team either.

He also had 8 reserve players I front of him. When he's played with the "A" team he's looked better than Johnson has.

Ya, I guess.

First goal was Jumper falling and leaving him 1v1
Second goal was the Fire defense lapsing and not defending a cross *shock*
Third goal was Walls way overpersuing and letting the forward go into the box essentially 1v1

Tornaghi made some pretty good saves or it could have been a lot worse. The arena was pretty bad, and the turf was worse.

I couldn't see game, how did Rolfe look?

Didn't see the ball much (Revs scored like 30 seconds after he came on), but he had a couple of good looks on net.

He also looked cold & wet.
