The non starters need to find some meaningful games to hone their skills, where is that in the MLS?

Thank Christ for Coops. He came in at half time and changed the outcome of the game. While he almost scored, he showed great determination to show we needed to score goals. Abe and Kenny are on the same page when we get the ball. I wish I could massage Dominics head in front of goal. its called composure !!!!

Wallace and Wileman have regressed in match situations recently. Brek you can tell will be very fruitful with his play in the matches, but is making it way to easy on opposing teams by turning the ball over. Similar comments were made on the spanish telecast when FCD played Chivas.

I disagree with the comments on Wally and Wileman. I think they both did an admirable job considering the circumstances they were put in. Wally has a played a few first team games but Wileman, this was his professional game. He probably only played because of the injuries and Hyndman must have trust in him defend honestly which is so important on the wing in a 3-5-2. This was exposed in the game against Chivas on Sunday, Arturo, Brek and Avila cannot play a lick of defense. i think you guys need to take it easy on Wally and Wileman. Wally got pulled for no apparent reason and Wileman is a JR developmental player who filled in under difficult circumstances.Go after the guys who are making bank but sitting on the bench.

Thank-you Cai and sotg for your interesting views! Moronic, but as always, interesting!

Luckily the refs couldn’t read their watches – both scores seemed to come way into the extra minutes. Avi was exciting. Wileman was painful and shut the left side down. Dello was a pleasant surprise. Wally needs more minutes that don’t count – seems like he, Wileman, and Shea need to work through some freshman mistakes so they can learn from them. Overall, glad we pulled out the W.

Pardon the expression, but we pulled that one out of our ass. Thank God for extra extra time!
Glad this crack new coach finally won a game.

Completely agreed with CM…we need much more Avila. Thought Wileman & especially Wally were over-matched, and thought we got out-hustled in the first half & much of the second.

Fix the scoreline – Thompson had 2 goals (second one at 93+) and certainly at least 2 shots on goal!

Well, that was SO not the game I was expecting last night, but I will take a win regardless.

I’ve made this comment elsewhere, but I think Eric Avila was fantastic last night. Well Done!!

Hopefully FCD can continue refining their offensive production and quality of the product they put on the pitch.
