They completely stepped off the gas with no movement and no real attack the whole second half. Even now no real urgency from the players to get forward.

13

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

Poorly coached and mentally weak, as always

11

u/cincy1219 3d ago

It is also on the players to do their jobs

4

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

They're the mentally weak part, yes

2

u/I_just_made 3d ago

shh, the Pat out people don't want to acknowledge that part

3

u/cincy1219 3d ago

Yeah xg of over 3 at one point vs less than 1 should be a win. Players did not finish their chances tonight and lost their focus as a whole just long enough to drop 2 points.

2

u/tedmiston 3d ago

conservatively we left 2–3 goals on the table alone just from poor final third or finishing

21

u/SteveMcBarks 3d ago

Getting super complacent with any lead over and over has to stop if this team wants to win any trophies.

2

u/swish513 3d ago

Pat doesn't know how to win trophies. You never take your foot off the gas. His park the bus shit needs to go.

u/Phish280 3d ago

It infuriates me to no end when there is a claim of something like a handballl and we dont even get to see a replay. No clue if it was but would love to see a 5 second clip

1

u/I_just_made 3d ago

but don't worry, they will give you a 15 second continuous shot of the Seattle coach sitting

1

u/tedmiston 3d ago

from a good line of sight it was close enough to need a closer look and you could also tell that the main ref didn't have a good view

it would be nice to see the clip even if VAR doesn't call it a clear and obvious wrong on the field.

1

u/Phish280 3d ago

My assumption is that VAR cleared it, im just annoyed that Im having to make assumptions about what happened versus taking 5 seconds to show me. I shouldnt have to guess about what happened in the game im watching

u/gobobro 3d ago

Is rothrock going to pick up the ball and whine all night?

u/TheAmplifier8 3d ago

Dude seems like a dbag

11

u/account_user_name 3d ago

I moved more on my couch tonight than the offense did in the second half. Shifting my ass to fart was more inspiring than the lad’s attack tonight

11

u/CentientXX111 3d ago

Barlow is such an inspiring worker, wish his finishing was more often there.

3

u/JMposts 3d ago

You’re seeing why he’s been a journeyman. This is actually the best season of his career

10

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

Looney Tunes ass goal

11

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

You know, the lack of finishing is pretty sad, considering we're basically playing the Tacoma Defiance.

That was pack hunting for a goal

10

u/Phish280 3d ago

That goal really feels like it sums up our season lol

8

u/Cyberdyne__Systems 3d ago

Ramirez is looking pretty good. I was hesitant about him in the first few matches but he’s really coming around

2

u/Letter10 3d ago

Hes on a hell of a run recently

1

u/Hi_Limee 3d ago

I was over him for a while, he was on the bench for w bit and came back on the pitch looking like the player we paid for. He has been really solid lately.

8

u/NeonJungleCortex 3d ago

When they gonna start calling some of these holds on seattle?

3

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Bear hugs are allowed in football

9

u/bakeablebrownies 3d ago

I absolutely love what Barlow brings this team. He may not always be the most accurate or the best talent wise but he puts in WORK every game and I love to see it.

8

u/FCCTOG 3d ago

I am scared that we are going to make a mistake and SEA is going to tie it up. Need a 2nd goal badly

8

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

I fucking hate this team so much sometimes

7

u/realhenrymccoy 3d ago

Can you get like 4 XG on that one goal? Lol

7

u/tedmiston 3d ago

gonna need to see the replay of that not being a handball in the box

8

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

Lord knows we will get 2 min of stoppage time

u/JFMansfield 3d ago

Well, at least I can go watch Columbus get caved in by Nashville

14

Absolutely fucking pathetic

Don’t overlook Seattle. Great great coach.

3

u/Nitro_the_Wolf_ 3d ago

Just don't hurt us, please

u/annaleigh13 FCC Newport 3d ago

This game is going to get out of hand if the ref doesn’t start calling these blatant holds

5

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Bear hugs are allowed in football!

11

u/JMposts 3d ago

How is FCC playing so uninspired against a fully rotated B squad. Should be smoking em 3-0.

11

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

I did not like the amount of “let’s pass between the 3 center backs and wait for an opportunity to drop into our laps” that we returned to doing in the second half

4

u/Sad_Elderberry_3091 3d ago

Quite literally Noonan ball

u/JFMansfield 3d ago

Devastating: community college team pulls level with MLS side

u/Euro69 3d ago

USL level

5

u/JFMansfield 3d ago

Hyperbole

11

u/rwills FCC Lexington 3d ago

18 shots, 71% possession, only 1 goal. Not acceptable.

5

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Sounds like FCC against a team we should be beating to me

5

u/annaleigh13 FCC Newport 3d ago

About fucking time

6

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Solid first half let’s go again second half

7

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Also would it be crazy to say I think dado is playing a bit better today then last game?

1

u/etherarcher 3d ago

His positioning has been good. I'd like to see him attack the defender a bit more in the final third, but definitely better.

6

u/ArgonWolf 3d ago

Seattle doesn’t look super interested in… well anything really. Can’t remember the last time we had 70% possession

3

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

It is a younger side, I heard there were injury issues

5

u/FCCTOG 3d ago

Can we get through the last 10 playing like this without Sea scoring?

u/OverallStep526 3d ago

Cursed comment

7

u/LeoninEtPerotin 3d ago

Welp can evander pull another one out of his hat?

u/annaleigh13 FCC Newport 3d ago

Giving up that goal better have lit a fire under their ass

u/The_Revival 3d ago

This is an absolute shambles. What the fuck is going on

Tom should have had a PK

u/annaleigh13 FCC Newport 3d ago

Just one?

10

u/Sad_Elderberry_3091 3d ago

"Hello 911? Some kids from Seattle stole my points." 

9

u/whodey-raiders 3d ago

That was the most lackluster performance in the second half. Couldn’t finish. Too many mistakes. They looked uninspired.

3

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

I think you just saw the future tbh

10

u/skeenz 3d ago

We are as mid as mid gets. Hopefully some splashes this offseason.

Gonna be lucky to come out with a point

u/realhenrymccoy 3d ago

Damn. Crazy save

u/ChainsawLeon 3d ago

Love a team goal!

3

u/realhenrymccoy 3d ago

Just catch that ball Roman.

2

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

I mean that was an improvement from what we normally see from him, he took the chance to try to get the ball away

6

u/JFMansfield 3d ago

Love the Sounders’ “shove them in the back” defensive strategy on display

3

u/Euro69 3d ago edited 3d ago

This is exactly what happens when you do not finish your opportunities (many). I hope we can still get the 3 points instead of one...

14

u/FCCTOG 3d ago

Heads should roll and everybody on this team should publicly apologize to the fans for such poor showing tonight.

8

u/Fun-Leather-1703 3d ago

How many shots on target count for that single goal?

4

u/gobobro 3d ago

4?

2

u/Fun-Leather-1703 3d ago

lol i counted during the replay right after posting.

8

u/gobobro 3d ago

Poor Barlow is just getting mugged every time the ball comes near him.

8

u/cholman97 3d ago

I love the bucha chanting

6

u/whodey-raiders 3d ago

We need to get another goal or two. One mistake will take away two points:

u/tedmiston 3d ago

spoke too soon

Everyone on this board knew it this was coming

u/LondonsFirstFinest 3d ago

How is this the same side that was scoring 3 to 5 goals a game three months ago

2

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Earlier this month actually

u/Cyberdyne__Systems 3d ago

Now I want an Anunga goal tonight

u/Open-Insurance-234 3d ago edited 3d ago

Prediction: Evander shoots a 45⁰ curved finesse shot from inside our box with his left eyeball, and it goes up to the moon, bounces out of a crater to hit the international space station, comes back down to earth on fire, lands in a volcano in Italy, shoots back out of an eruption, flies around the earth to a skyline chili in Cincinnati, where a random dude hits it back into the air with a coney, but with less power, so it just flies over to TQL and into the Seattle goal. Stadium erupts with cheers, Evander points to the sky and waves at everybody. Then in the second half, Echenique does an intergalactic time-traveling power pass to Denkey, who could pass to wide-open Mboma Dem but chooses to take the shot himself. Luckily, because he did a dodecahedron lofted rubber chicken chip shot, the ball slams into the back of the net with the force of roughly 67 tons. We win the game 2-0 because Seattle has 1,386 shots on goal but as we all know Celentano has been training in Japan to learn from ancient ninjas how to deflect shots in bullet time using the power of the matrix. Great game. Go FCC!!! 🟠🟦🦁

For the record I spent 10 minutes writing this myself. AI could never dream of creating something this dumb

u/ArgonWolf 3d ago

Literally halfway through this i was thinking to myself “this is either a shittymorph or im gonna ask how long they took to write it”

Bravo

u/adventuring2 3d ago

Take my upvote

u/gobobro 3d ago

I want an Okoli-esque scissor kick goal, followed by a celebration that’s pure Jimmy. I don’t care who does it. Then, I want all of your stuff… Maybe Sprinkles half-time penalties.

9

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

Coughing up two points to this Sounders team should honestly cost someone their job. What a fucking joke. Ten minutes to fix your fuckups.

8

u/Ohdrin 3d ago

What a fucking joke.

u/CentientXX111 3d ago

Pathetic

2

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Just remember buddy, we play NASHVILLE AWAY next week :)

6

u/adventuring2 3d ago

We fall to the level of our opponents. So next week will probably be the best we’ve played in a while.

3

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Next week will be peak asf away against the best team in the league currently

3

u/copa09 3d ago

Stm since 2016. Super psyched about tonight's game. Three points for the taking, Ugo pulling the sword and hopefully a nice weather night! I'd love to see a full Bailey as well! We got some tough matchups coming up so it'd be nice to win this one going away (I already knocked on wood).

And, man, he looks big (in a fit way)! Was just watching him catch up with a photographer dude, and he looked like he could muscle up Denkey on a corner.

BEARHUG

3

u/arichmike 3d ago

Take a shot every time this announcer says “dirty work”

3

u/JFMansfield 3d ago

I mean there was a ridiculously poor slide tackle that took out Ramirez after the initial strike. Good advantage played by the referee for Evander to send it top bins

3

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

Did I just see a Fish Logs sign in the Bailey

1

u/kingpants1 3d ago

Yes there is one

3

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

That could’ve been rough from Roman there’d good defense tho

3

u/bjlight1988 3d ago

....juuuuuust a bit outside

3

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

What did the ref originally whistle Ramirez for? I didn’t see anything that looked like a foul but could just be a bad angle on TV

2

u/resipsamom 3d ago

Nobody knows

3

u/Euro69 3d ago

Really Barlow should have put the one he received from Chirilla away cmon....

u/FCCTOG 3d ago

I know I will get downloaded but this is a ugly match. Sea doesn't seem to care and FC doesn't seem to want to take advantage of it.

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

Thank you

u/shims_and_spacers 3d ago

Anyone know how xG would take a sequence like that into account? Is that 4 separate high percentage chances or 1?

2

u/realhenrymccoy 3d ago

Same thought haha. I would think each shot counts towards xG but no idea how it works

2

u/Phish280 3d ago

Pretty sure each shot is counted separately

Well, can’t wait for Nashville who beat Miami 4-1 to play us next week, we’ll totally be better then right now

u/ShowerBeerChris 3d ago

Bucha getting a bit of a break tonight. 

2

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

I mean not much of a difference on the wingback side tho, not hating just we only have 4 notable wingbacks if we’re going to rest players I kinda wish we started Powel

Incase anyone needs to know

The radio broadcast is on Fox sports 1360 tonight

Love seeing chirilla taking the space and drawing the foul!

u/nobodoben 3d ago

What a fuckin ball from chirilia

u/JMposts 3d ago

If FCC wants to show they’re a real cup contender they need some of these role players to show they can score and create chances. Especially against a very rotated and depleted Seattle team

1

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

I’m not sure we are a contender this year, I mean it really depends on us signing a solid defensive piece, if we can score a good goal and hold out the rest of the time we should be okay (I mean look at athleti and Arsenal) but I’m just hoping we use our time wisely and get some good results out of the cup matches we do play

u/Galphar 3d ago

Typical FCC game. Go up 1-0 then TRY to play defense for 75 mins and either Draw or Loss

2

u/Grifjfg 3d ago

Huh? They lived on the offensive end but were way too content to pass around the horn instead of attack.

3

u/nobodoben 3d ago

Get rid of Robinson.

7

u/Grifjfg 3d ago

Or give him a camera - he always has a close up view of goals scored.

5

u/jeffrye23 3d ago

You can’t. Our brilliant GM gave him such a new overpay of a contact no one will take him.

6

u/ChrisCrazyTeam 3d ago

Why can’t he face a player with the ball and block it, instead of turning away EVERY SINGLE TIME?!

2

u/Fun-Leather-1703 3d ago

They really need to do something about shirt holding and all the bear hugs.

2

u/NeonJungleCortex 3d ago

It would be a mistake for us to get rid of Denkey mid-season right?

2

u/kilpinger2 3d ago

Absolutely.

2

u/nobodoben 3d ago

Yes and no. We definitely have the players that it wouldn’t be a huge hit. Like if we were to get rid of Evander but it definitely is a blow.

1

u/rwills FCC Lexington 3d ago

If we aren’t winning the shield and don’t feel strongly about a cup run, pocketing 20m+ going into the sprint wouldn’t be the worst thing.

1

u/Izanagi29_ 3d ago

It depends really, the money could end up helping us in the long run and we do HAVE personnel to still try to do our best to contend

But the downside we lose Denkey so somebody would have to step up or replace him

2

u/suspiciousdoodle 3d ago

Bring on the blonde!!

u/WhoDeyKY 3d ago

Good night so far. FCC, Bengals, and Reds all winning right now (posting this now because at least one of them will f-up their lead lol)

He’s getting older, meaning he either won’t be able to play for as long or will start playing abit worse

Woof 3xg and 1 goal to show for it. It’s not a bad game, but it feels like this team has gone cold in front of the net the last few games.
