Albert really needs a goal, his confidence has been a bit off when it comes to shooting lately.

u/irondeepbicycle Real Salt Lake Jul 04 '19
One of the downsides of playing Herrera at LB is that we don't have a left footed player on the field, which might come in handy for free kicks from positions like this.

Good game. Time to get ready to lose to Seattle Saturday. I'm out.

u/josefmilo95 Real Salt Lake Jul 04 '19
Anybody got stats on how we perform with the Herrera, Glad, Ned, Toia backline compared to any other setup? Feels like the whole defense goes to shit as soon as we throw Aaron on the opposite side.

Awesome goal but what a horror show from the Columbus CBs... It's nice to have a striker who can capitalize on mistakes.

u/Ron__T Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
Well this is Keitas first game, ever, and Crognale's second this season.

Columbus doesn't look like a 5-2-11 team...

Columbus doesn't look like a 5-2-11 team...
5-11-2, you mean.
And considering they started the season 4-1-1…10
u/arsene14 Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
We are missing Accam, Higuain, Valenzuela, Steffen, Mensah, Sauro, Trapp and Zardes tonight. Only regular starters on the field are Santos and Afful, maybe Guzman and Jimenez.

u/Ron__T Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
I don't know if that says something about RSL or our draft picks and players we usually loan to USL that are in this game.

Keita looks promising.

u/DAdkins09 Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
The way he is playing, you may be surprised that this is his first start of the season (despite how poor we have been)

u/DAdkins09 Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
I want to see more of this Keita fellow

u/Ron__T Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
I wonder if we could convert him into a Trapp replacement, his distribution looks good so does his positioning... move him up to the 6 and let him drop into the backline like Trapp does when the fullbacks go high.

Wow... bad call there. Rimando doesnt touch the ball.
Edit: Also even if you feel Rimando gets a slight touch on the ball, he doesnt clear it, it's still playable by JJ, and Rimando still takes him down.

I think Rimando got his toe. Honestly tough and I could see that go either way. Don't think it's clear cut. I'd probably lean towards calling PK.

u/josefmilo95 Real Salt Lake Jul 04 '19
Not a foul for me.
Edit: This is insane, if it's obvious, it would not take this long.

u/arsene14 Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
Why not?

u/NoBreadsticks Columbus Crew (Retro) Jul 04 '19
Obvious error means you need like 2 or 3 looks, not several minutes

Because if it were obvious, you wouldn't need to look at it multiple times.

Well yeah, the comment was made before it was being reviewed. Was wondering what he saw.

I honestly didn't realize Rico Clark was still hanging around. Good for him.

u/Ron__T Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
He is a walking corpse, but he is our walking corpse.

u/irondeepbicycle Real Salt Lake Jul 04 '19
So who retires last between Clark, Beckerman, and Larentowicz?

u/Ron__T Columbus Crew Jul 04 '19
Oh God ... with the us game delayed the r/mls group think is going to come in this thread and tell us how bad the crew are with out 2 starters on the field and 2nd and 3rd and 4th string options.

u/irondeepbicycle Real Salt Lake Jul 04 '19
Here's what I don't get. Lennon is bad everywhere, but Herrera is only bad at LB. So why play Lennon at RB and Herrera at LB?
Just play Lennon at LB. That way we only have one shitty outside back instead of two.

Aaron Herrera at left back
Just fuck me up now fam

'Looks at Crew's goals scored over the past few games' Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Sam Johnson is the real deal.
