I think the manager has lot to answer for in this now 9 game skid.

He has barely changed his tactics and personal, and clearly has a couple of guys out there that are worn down to the knub.

And another young guy that gets huge minute but appears to rarely stay in the position they need him on the field, wide right, causing a domino effect all across the rest of the team especially defensively.

Finally, there is the matter of three games in a row with the late equalizer against coming from the left side of the defense. What is that about?

Many questions. Little time left to correct them.

Last season some of the biggest corrections came from new players fighting their way into the starting 11, and additions to the roster. This season we have 1 addition that has shown promise, and no one appearing ready to step up from the reserves.

Creative run? I don't think you were watching the match from Saturday night. Everything was predictible. When someone did decide to make a run, the ball went the other way.

I never said for the entire game or even an entire half. but there were 5 to 10 minutes of solid work that would build up, and look great and then an opportunity would be missed and then they'd just lose it entirely and have to figure out a rhythm again. Hopefully there will be no roller coaster of imagination on the field tonight and they can crush the islanders like they've already done this year.

I think even the USMNT has 5 minutes of great play last week against Jamaica. The problem is soccer matches are 90 minutes long. To me I am going to give nobody props for doing good 5% of the time.

And I agree with you Aaron. all i'm saying is the potential is there. and clearly they showed that tonight. christ, quit trolling and celebrate the playoff spot.
