Terrible…my thoughts
We should NOT be losing to teams like SL who are consistantly finishing in the bottom three. Here’s my take on tonight’s game and the team in general:
Reffing - fucking atrocious. Three specific moments that changed the entire game…Resch was dragged down as shown by the stretching on his shirt, shouldn’t have been a penalty. Edelman attempting to end Bouzat’s career should’ve been a straight red. Ennali’s second yellow was the worst of all, even the commentators said how bad of a call it was!!!
Amazing defending by SL when Lingr went passed Lundt, 99/100 that would have been a goal.
Penalties - players of this caliber should not be having them saved. Stop fucking dilly-dallying on your run up. Place it with power and you score.
Guillherme and Bogusz are great players but I think they sometimes forget they’re part of a team. They try to go for glory instead of passing to an open team mate. Also, like Bond, Bogusz has no left foot so it’s obvious which way he’s gonna go.
Artur sucks. Absolutely no situational awareness and is constantly getting caught on the ball. He also has a fetish for passing back to the goalkeeper. And he has no left foot so you know where he’s going!
Passing - we seem incapable of passing into space. So many times went behind a player who is making a forward run causing them to stop and thus giving the opposing team time to regroup.
Ponce - expensive waste of space. Spends too much time slowing down and trying to outstare his team mates with the ball instead of getting forward into space for a goal scoring opportunity, he needs to go.
Olsen - he seems to spend more time complaining to the 4th official than directing the team. His strategies aren’t working and he apparently doesn’t have the kahunas to actually manage his players and correct their errors (see above about Ponce, Artur, Guillherme and Bogusz)
Lastly, too much time is spent fucking around in our own third passing the ball back and forth until we give away an easy goal when they pressure us.
