I feel like if you were to give the Whitecaps $100, they would spend it on 100 scratch tickets, based on their love of low-percentage (but possibly spectacular) plays.
holy **** we're cursed...post and then a save of the week...fml
Anybody remember the last LA Galaxy game where the goal was called offside and then it was changed to a goal?! I've never seen that before in any league...but that's the LA Galaxy for you. We just got galaxy'd again.
Exciting and competitive game. LA looked the better organized but the Caps gave it a good, even if not at all times coordinated, effort.
Manneh again showed promise and must be played. Also, liked the play of Tiebert and mostly of Koffie
Mattocks looked completely out of sync with his teammates and was way too prone to run himself out of the play and seemed easily discouraged. His soccer intelligence and fortitude needs to be questioned. If they can move him (given the number of other young options) then that must be considered.
I think that it is evident that Watson has nothing like the skill or vision needed at this level and Koby continues to cement the view that he is entirely useless. Those who were bent out of shape by earlier criticisms of Koby need to fess out that they were flat out wrong about this player. This leaves a huge hole in the mid-field that needs to be addressed. Really the Caps have very little at all in the mid-field. Coker provides some running with the ball but seems unable to have much control over movement of the ball. Same could be said for Koffie.
Result is that the team continues to play long balls from the back hopping to get the right bounce.
Again not impressed with Miller. Gets gassed very easily and is nothing like a continuous factor in the game. Makes the occasional tricky play but often just too slow to take advantage of situations. Believe there is no way you bring back Miller unless he is willing to take a much reduced salary. They need that cap space to go out and get some legit mid-field players. Moreover, they have some younger players that need to be given opportunity.
OB was weak today (got to cut him some slack because he is coming off injury) and you wonder if Mitchell should be played over him. Mitchell has some long term potential and this team needs to develop that.
1) I hate jordan harvey, just finish it cmon, man!!!!!!!!
2) ball played the hand.
