The one where we are full of bullief
1: As much as a person is capable of hating something, I hate the Red Bulls. They have no interest in playing soccer and are the antithesis of Atlanta United. Probably why, after 7 seasons, we hadn’t beat them in the regular season. I was very nervous in the opening minutes because we seemed to be playing right into their hands. But fortunately we got the early goal which, is always important, but doubly so against the Bulls. 2: No I seriously, I really hate the Red Bulls. This isn’t the kind of soccer I like to con...

The one where sometimes our matches are Columbusts
1: We can lose, but we cannot lose like that. Tonight was unacceptable. Full stop. At least we dirtied their clean sheet but, good grief. This cannot happen. 2: He’s a 10 but he’s not there. With missing a player like Almada we knew coming in that we might be lacking a little in the creative playmaking department. So the plan had to be force turnovers and errant passes early and often. We failed to do that. Columbus had the ball glued to their feet and we just simply couldn’t get it off them. In the rare...

The one where it’s better than bad it’s good
1: In addition to the chemistry we’re seeing on display and the great attacking soccer, we’ve also got something we didn’t have last year, luck. I’m honestly a little surprised VAR called the screen on Portland’s goal. It’s a Goalazo and I don’t think Brad is getting there no matter what. But to win titles you need a little good fortune and we’re finally getting some. 2: Caleb out here trying to break some kind of record for how many consecutive takes he can appear in.

The one where we put on a Wiley performance
1: Well that was quick. We haven’t seen that kind of fast and decisive attacking movements in the attacking third, with final product, in some time. We came out flying and caught Charlotte off guard. We have of course started fast before, but the difference this time is we put the ball into the net. Charlotte finally responded after the 2nd with some intensity of their own and a couple half chances but we did not concede and we did not wilt. We did what we have not done enough, step on the opponents throat and put the game aw...

The one where points are dropped but hopes are raised?
1: Caleb Wiley impressed me the most in the first half. There are some takes and narratives out there that this club doesn’t develop young players well. While it’s impossible for every young player who comes here to have success, we have been pretty damn consistent in young player development and Caleb is just another example of that. His runs both on and off the ball are dynamic and threatening. He can dribble, he can cross…for me I think he’s going to develop into the full package and become another home grown success story that will be talke...

The one where we don’t start till the stop
1: Scoring, it better be Greek to us. The new Luiz looked like the old Luiz. His touches were poor. His decision making was bad and the penalty was embarrassing. He got the keeper to go, all he had to do was roll it in and instead he hit it well wide. Dunno what size goals he’s practicing on. He also had his customary # of shots into the stands. Truthfully the shot he had from outside the box was closer than his PK. Literally he was closer to scoring from 20 yards than he was from 12. 2: For...

The one where Luiz gave us a lot Toluc-at
1: Luiz showed and has shown a lot so far. He looks like a more sure footed, confident version of himself. We’ve all known he has the technical skill but too often he hasn’t made the best decisions or trusted his abilities. That seems to have been corrected. The runs he’s made off the ball thus far, his control with the ball at his feet and the finishes he’s had, it’s all been at a level and quality that we’ve yet to see consistently. Let’s hope he can carry this over into the regular season...

1: Fits and starts. I can not and have not been able to make heads or tails of this team this year and the quality of some of our performances. In our waking states we look ok, even pretty good at times. But we have not been able to maintain any sort of consistency for any extended period of time. Sometimes it works with this formation and that formation and this group of players and that group of players but then not again with those same players in the same formation.

The one where we needed a Revolution and unfortunately we got it
1: Really poor goal keeping from Gudino on the first goal. It was clumsy to give away the penalty and then really poor on the penalty kick itself. It’s usually always 50/50 on PK’s but he was already well off his line and diving right before the ball was even struck. It was gifted. 2: Almada was doing everything he could to win this game for Atlanta. Anytime we posed a threat it was generally off a through ball from him or some lovely piece of dribbling. Apart from that, the attack was disjointed at best. It wil...

The one where we have at least Juan reason to he hopeful
1: First half was very much the story of the season. The first half of the season anyhow. We were in complete control of the match. Quality chances created. Couldn’t find a goal. Even with a PK chance. The team did look better and more cohesive with Dwyer up top and Araujo more out wide. Luiz even looked better tonight, even with missing the PK. Why is that? Does it have something to do with Josef not being there? We could speculate all day, but to my eyes, we looked like more a unit today than we have in an...

The one where we are the best of the worst
1: We went up against the worst team statistically and aesthetically in MLS and we couldn’t net a goal in the first half. It’s not good enough. I figured DC would come out with a little more after getting embarrassed by Philly again, but nonetheless, we should’ve scored in the first half. 2: It’s cool to keep the opponent guessing in how we are going to score, but so often it looks like we are keeping ourselves guessing. We move the ball around well enough, we get it into the final third and then too o...

The one where the woodwork won’t work
1: It is the hope that kills you. The first half, in particular the first 25 minutes was hands down the best attacking soccer we’ve seen all season. You gotta make hay while the sun is shinning and we just didn’t make quite enough in that time. It’s great that we came from behind yet again to dig out a result and that’s something we probably don’t do a few weeks ago. But if we just didn’t always have a damn mountain to climb. A result on the road against a dangerous attacking team is something an...

The one where winning is Gutman
1: We are still not pressuring enough and turning the ball over in dangerous spots. Furthermore, when we do, we don’t transition into attack quickly enough. In stark contrast, we are getting turned over more than pancakes at Waffle House. It’s a major part of our game that is and has been lacking. It was a better in the 2nd half. 2: Injury FC returns. Did we really think our no injury luck would continue? We’re now missing Campbell and it looks Rossetto for an extended period of time. At least we have Purata with us...

The one where our results are unified
1: Here we are, once again, talking about something we don’t to talk about, Refereeing. At the time of writing this it’s not 100% clear but based on Pineda’s comments in the post game presser, it seems to him that Rocco have a thumbs up gesture while he was by the post which Rivas took as him saying he was set and ready when he wasn’t. We have not yet heard from Rivas on what he saw and why he blew his whistle when he did but even if he did see Rocco giving him whatever gesture, he’s by...

The one where we play Real good soccer.
1: Sejdic had a helluva game. Him and Rossetto both were at their best. Sejdic had at least 3 tackles leading to turnovers that, at the very least, lead to good attacking sequences if not outright chances. He ran himself into the ground and I think this team, now more than ever, needs a player doing that. I don’t want anyone inured but that kind of effort, playing for literally every ball, has a big ripple effect. 2: The theme of giving up a goal quickly after scoring continues. Justin Meram has so much quality but truthfully his...

1: Austin, maybe more than any other team in MLS, is so good at making something out of nothing. It’s a metaphor for their whole season. They are a completely different team from last year and a legitimate cup contender. Reminds me a lot of us in ‘18. They look like a well drilled team that understands who they are, what they want to do, and is oh yeah, healthy. 2: At times our build up looks so good with clean crisp passing in tight spaces. There’s moments where it looks like passing drills. Really good stuff. Bu...

The one where we went on the road and dugout a result
1: Take everything you know about football and throw it in the trash when you’re being taken out to the ball game. For the first 20 minutes we looked like we couldn’t get adjusted to the play pen. Things just happen faster at Yankee standup. Counter attacks that normally wouldn’t be on for the opposition are here. We got a little more comfortable from 20-35 but then Alan Franco gets caught on an offside call. Take nothing away from the pass to Casty. It’s perfect but Alan has to play to the whistle and not be raising his hand...

The one where we are half way there, and the injuries are hard to bear.
1: Toronto’s press was effective and ours was non existent. Honestly, I think we just got outworked tonight. We didn’t posses or dominate the run of play like we tend to and like to do. 2: We came alive a bit in the 2nd half. I wish we had done more of what lead to Araujo’s goal. We just didn’t win enough duels and turnovers in their final third or really in their own half. 3: Well, we haven’t had an injury in two games so I guess we were do. The f...

The one where it’s a banner day for Atlanta United
1: Nothing helps break down a low block like an early goal and a red card. Thank god we scored early because a team going down to 10 is no guarantee that you’ll get a result. Just ask Montreal. It was beautiful first time hit from Luiz. He continues to trust his shot and we are the better for it. Great game for Josef as well with a goal and assist. He looked very comfortable and was productive and in good spots all game. 2: Rocco did what he needed to do. He kept it relatively simple. No mistakes, save...

The one where we are held together by duct tape and defiance
1: It’s very hard to be critical of the team’s play when they are just hit with injury after injury after injury. We’re so injured that Mikey is on the pitch. I mean we are coming to the point of not being able to have a full bench without 2’s call ups which truthfully, Mikey would normally be which truthfully is probably a big reason why the 2’s aren’t doing so well. However, what you cannot do is lose your head at the end of the match and make contact with a ref (who was crap). This was as...

The one where we are off beat, but not beaten.
1: Not a good stretch for Alan Franco. Is his overall play horrible? No. Not really. But his mistakes are costing us goals and potentially points. Defending is a hard life. As a forward, you’ll make mistakes, but they’re not likely to cost your team the game. When a defender makes mistakes, it can be everythibg. Alan is making too many. And his mistakes are for the most part a result of not being switched on, and not a lack of technical ability or a miss-hit ball. 2: Felt like two different matches after the restar...

1: Tremendous response after losing Miles. I’m absolutely gutted for him. Looks he he’s done his Achilles too and will then most likely miss out on the World Cup. I really didn’t see much different in terms of our attacking play today. We just finished chances. If you want to point to anything that’s different in this game I suppose being better positioned for opportunities in and around the box would be it. But the build up and chance creation was pretty similar. 2: Set pieces are still an issue but at least we cleaned...

1: 🎵Heyyy we’re 2/3 there! Ohhhhhh, this is hard to bare. 🎵 Over the past few matches we’ve seen progression. Today was a regression for me. That doesn’t mean we played like trash, but it wasn’t better. We played well in the first 45. We more or less had control of the match. We created the opportunities to create the opportunity. However unlike the previous three matches, it wasn’t the finishing that was missing today, it was the final pass. 2: Some curious play from Araujo. I don’t know why he felt like trying to hit a...

1: Cisneros’ best start by far. I really would not write this guy off yet. Is he gonna have double digit goals? No probably not. But can we get some production out of him until Josef is back? Yeah absolutely. I think I prefer him starting to Dom. I like Dom coming as a sub when the situation calls for it. Jackson is also still an option but his performance in MLS hasn’t been good enough to justify starting. He will get opportunities tho and he’s gonna need to capitalize on them big time to see more minutes. ...

The one where we need to finish what we started
1: There is no way, absolutely no way you can say Atlanta United played poorly. I’d argue that we looked better in the attacking phase (which was often) without Josef. We dominated the ball. We controlled the run of play. We could not buy a goal. We had an XG of close to 4. You’re gonna have to miss me with any Gonzo out takes. This game was crying out for Josef. It was custom made for him. Yup. It’s a factor that he wasn’t there. 2: George Campbell is a fist choice defender. He’s earne...

The one where DC cannot stop the steal.
1: Thiago looked very good for his first start. Apart from producing another GOW, there’s not much more he could e done to get a goal tonight. He was very involved in the attacking play. He was eager to take players on, won his duels, stole balls and played several good balls into Moreno and Josef and Jackson. I think he’s going to develop into a big chance creator for us. He’s acclimated to the team very quickly and we’re all the better for it. 2: Really happy that we’re getting more production o...

1: When you strike a wounded animal it’s going to either roll over and die, or lash out one last time. Montreal came in full gas with the knowledge that a two week break to rest and recover awaited them. They looked lethargic at first, but after their first goal they played with a speed, fluidity and intensity they we simply could not match in the first half. 2: In stark contrast to the March “Make your own luck” scarves, we made our own problems. So many of Montreal’s chances and virtually all of their goals star...

I’m happy to see him in the positions we want him to be in but if we get a couple more games of him unable to finish that is going to be a point of concern. Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that these are chances he should absolutely be putting away.

Any chances that NYC had came from our mistakes which unfortunately are always going to be magnified in this venue. 2: There were some nervy moments towards the end of the first half but overall we looked pretty comfortable in the first half.
