Saw the match yesterday but was unable to comment into the match thread. So impressed with what I saw. A very cohesive, high quality performance ... for the most part. We went toe-to-toe with potentially the best team and coach combination in the league and could have / should have won. What does that say about us ... time will tell, but Bielsa didn't have it his own way, not at all. And, it took a play with three defensive errors to let them equalize: VDH got done out wide far too easily, Rodon crossed his feet when he should have easily intercepted the cross, Olsson took a nap when he should have been aware of Pablo and been first to the ball. A trifecta of fuck-ups. How often is that likely to occur. And then Celina with a little more guile could have won it at the end.
Wow, what a game. What an advertisement for the Championship. A complete antithesis to pre-game expectations. Now I can see why our seniors (Dyer, Routs, Narsingh) are not getting a look in.
A sliver of luck in our favor and we could be 2nd today on goal difference instead of 3rd and two points of out automatic. I think we're going to win this thing with a U23 squad - amazing.
