Why is Watson playing CDM? He can’t defend

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 7:44 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

RSL's d

is very tight..gonna be tough to crack that egg

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:02 PM CDT reply actions  

very true

they’re keeping it together very well

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

just wait for the heat to set in!

Those sissy football players have the roof closed because temps were over 100 degrees today! mwahaha

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

Good effort though

I liked that run of play. Tested the keeper and showed the defense we can get through

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:08 PM CDT reply actions  

Hainault....

He has not been in form lately.

Oh I also hate Espindola

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:09 PM CDT reply actions  

Well to give Watson some credit

He prevented that last play from being very very bad for us

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

Seriously!

disgrace to the most respected number

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

eh I disagree

He has amazing footwork and moves forward more often than he moves back…which is something most of our midfielders and defenders that move forward need to learn. He’s also a good passer on the ground, but his crossing game needs work

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

He isn’t consistent though. A good #10 can do this every game not every once in a while. The guy doesn’t work well with the team. He also does the most unnecessary fouls every time he plays. The Dynamo needs someone better than Watson and hopefully Camargo can fix this midfield

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

see...terrible ref in history

I always feel like he has something against the Dynamo when he’s the ref

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

I dislike most refs that are assigned to Dynamo games

But I could have some bias _

Though I think the Dynamo get the reputation as a “physical team” and it can hurt. Honestly most of what the Dynamo does is largely harmless compared to some teams that just beat players around. It’s an unfair assessment I think.

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

Random

It’s funny how Palmer is still on the Greenstar commercials

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:36 PM CDT reply actions  

loved that individual effort of Costly and the way Davis just passed that defense…just pure skills from these 2 guys!

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:47 PM CDT reply actions  

RIGHT!

Best we’ve seen from Costly. He’s amazing when he’s on sides!

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

Gives space for Ching to come to the center and also Davis

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

That was ALL on Costly though

Also I saw the flag go up I thought…

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah

He made a big mistake and we were about to suffer, but that defense needs to hustle

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 8:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

*sigh*

Promising start, and now we’re back to where we began the half

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 8:59 PM CDT reply actions  

JPA

scores with his new team Chivas USA…good for him. Show the Galaxy what they’re missing!

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 9:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Let's see what Dixon can do

Good move to pull Clark. Don’t wanna nag an injury and he has been quiet

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 9:19 PM CDT reply actions  

Costly did good in my opinion

He got involved a lot and helped in a goal. There’s no telling what he can do when he’s 100%

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 9:22 PM CDT reply actions  

GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

HOLY CRAP DID THAT JUST HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I said it at the beginning of the season in my positional breakdowns...

This kid needs more playing time. He is creative, quick, and most of all, he finds ways to get the ball in the net.

Thank you Dixon. THAT was worth every minute of football this season so far. Beautiful goal. Beautiful.

Me and you had the same thought :) I’m proud to have my picture with Alex Dixon!

by RedAce on Aug 20, 2011 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think the way the Dynamo have been playing lately....

we deserve a reality show because there’s always a dramatic ending =D

2nd Place

For now it looks like we’re moving up to second place with 35pts behind Columbus who now have 40pts.

by Dynamaniac on Aug 20, 2011 9:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Well just when things looked down

Twice in this game anyways….and when we had a lousy ref assigned to us..AGAIN! We came back and won at home. And I just want everyone to know that I called it _

by Gribbs on Aug 20, 2011 9:55 PM CDT reply actions  

haha, well good job sir. and okulaja really does seem to have an anti dynamo bias.

by Futbol anonymous on Aug 20, 2011 10:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

I know it seems that way...

But it’s really just that he is a shit-tastic referee who should be stripped of his whistle. He missed calls on both sides frequently, and doesn’t deserve to be an official for professional games. Once again, though, it doesn’t matter. There’s no accountability, and thus he can continue to be as shit-tastic as ever.
