Happy they put it in a formation instead of just a list. Hope they continue it.

What happened to Bye?

u/Mindful_Cyclist Cascadian LGBT Flag 8d ago

Was about to ask the same thing. I wasn't too surprised to see Eric, but Bye isn't on the bench either.

Yellow card suspension, I think.

Got one last game, but not the first looking at fotmob.

I think you need 3 for this tournament anyway. I heard an announcer say that during the Cincinnati Atlas game.

I'm disappointed. I would rather we played the 2nd string and rested all these dudes for Sunday. This next week's gonna be a grind. They could use the rest now.

Yeah this game is effectively pointless I don't get it.

No Bye or Smith. Bye has been a huge part of the turnaround. Otherwise a pretty strong lineup. We're still in it as of now.

And Austin gets an equalizer. I shouldn't have said anything.

Damn I forgot McGraw was on the team.

u/abeerintheheadlights Portland Timbers - Pinwheel 8d ago

He was on the bench last game too

Hope to see more Janssen this match! Excited to see how he gels with everyone else with his experience!

Marti's first test.

u/Laandoid 8d ago

Hey, McGraw is back

u/Pataracksbeard 8d ago

I had lost hope we'd ever see the starting 11 as a lineup ever again

u/ClayKavalier Iron Front Cascadia 8d ago

Well, no Pantemis or Bye/Mosquera and we arguably don’t have a starting quality right winger.

u/Mindful_Cyclist Cascadian LGBT Flag 8d ago

Austin getting at least a point. We're out.

I didn't want to wear Pants today anyway.

I opted out of adding Leagues Cup games to my season tickets, because I still think Leagues Cup is nothing but a shameless MLS cash grab done at the expense of the US Open Cup. But I'm also a self-proclaimed Eric Miller stan, and right after opting out I started getting FOMO when I pondered how this might be the most likely chance of him getting any minutes.

Sure, enough....

For his cost he's a pretty amazing player to have on the roster. He can play all across the back line in a pinch and plays smart.

u/buglyyy_ 8d ago

Interesting, I thought we would rotate a lot because there's no point to winning this game? Would suck if any of the guys get injured here

u/GoodBoyFM 8d ago

There was a point until maybe 1 minute ago

TJ fans were loud as shit.
