The Stars had over 65% of the possession in the first half and still were not able to score. We are clearly in the middle (or hopefully the final stages) of a scoring draught. Great first half for the Stars and lousy second half. It's been said thousands of times, but if you don't take your chances...

Stars lose 1-0.

I thought Tchoupe, Takada and Van Oekel had good a good game. MVO did not deserve this to go down as a loss.

I'm a big fan of Kallman, Bracalello and Altman: they're always on my starting 11, but they were absolutely useless tonight. I hope whatever needed to be shaken up gets shaken up.

There's no one on our team that is bad; I believe they can all play well based on their performances so far this season. But something really needs changed because we're in a stretch of games where our defense has given away goals and our strikers have done nothing. If we were getting beaten by better teams, that would be one thing, but we're getting beaten despite having the upper hand in these games.

the team is clearly going through a long tough run of games right now, and having the stretches of games crammed together or multiples on the road in a row never helps
i think they are still trying to recover from that horrible stretch in may and june when they went 7 in a row on the road
that [censored] kills teams

You can't score if you don't shot. We had some nice opportunities within the 18, however, we seem to want to do this fancy ticky-tock crap. Just score DAMN IT!
