- first off i want to start by saying how we played today was clearly influenced heavily by vlatko’s bad tactics. i truly don’t think this team would ever willingly play like that it’s just not in their blood. was it smart? maybe. but i don’t think it’s what we needed going forward. it wouldn’t be fair of anyone to blame the players for the play today when they were just doing what their coach told them.

- starting off defensively i actually think they were pretty solid for the most part. there were a few badly aimed long balls, but we didn’t have many risky errors back there at all really so that counts for something.

- midfield was almost silent today and i do partly blame that on rose basically playing as a striker despite not needing to; i’d bet that ones on vlakto. when they did have the ball there it was a lot of sloppy passes mixed with unecessary errors. i guess that’s what happens when you put a damper on their spirit. (yes i’m being passive aggressive towards vlakto)

- our strikers were quiet up too today as well with only a fee good chances on goal and some selfish play; i will not be specifying who because i don’t want to shade any certain players. i will stand by the fact i think alex’s goal should’ve 100% counted.
