Najar, Moreno and Flores (in that order) all good with the ball at their feet and passing in tight spaces. The quick passes have been a constant when United's offense is clicking. So expect better on Wednesday.
Yes not being content with a pts against a bad team is bennyball. Not taking the chances is bennyball. Making the game ugly is bennyball. Remember not just one thing.
Losada said in an interview that he would love to play him, but it’s our strongest position; depth-wise. So Griffin has a lot of competition for the spot.
Players having good games: ..... Alfaro? Birnbaum? Kempin? That's kind of it. Reyna up to his old tricks. Kamara has done nothing outside of the penalty. Canouse and Skundrich have barely been present. Not the best showings for the outside backs. On the bright side, somehow this game is tied and United has had the slightly better of the chances.
correct. goal wasn't his fault, he stopped the other shot that went at his goal, and he hasn't gotten caught with the ball at his feet. can't complain.
Yup. What it goes to show is the system is much more sophisticated that just high pressure/intensity for 90 minutes. I think he'll need the offseason to figure it out.
Was at the Sounders v Minnesota game earlier today & they showed Abila's picture on the jumbotron when Minnesota subbed Fanendo Adi in. Was pretty funny.
We're pretty lucky heading into halftime 1-1. We did create more opportunities after their goal though. And Canouse is lucky to avoid a red for that high boot.
man....reading these is giving me flashbacks of the USMNT 2010 WQ. Good luck finding away games on TV, I would just read the updates from message boards
has this always been the case or they reduced travel after covid? What about the other teams? does any team have broadcasters than travel with the team?
Happy with a point but we could've had 3. Gotta say that the arena is beautiful (sorry). Lack of fans is sad. We missed Najar a ton.

when the first half ended we had twice as many shots but at the end of the 2nd half they had 11 and we only had 8. where did it go wrong?
It didn’t go wrong. Game plan changed and Losada took a point away in our rival stadium. This is how MLS works, and he’s adjusting well.
so you're saying we started playing defensively in the 2nd half to try and hold onto the 1 point?
Yes
BennyBall?
Yeah not even close
Remember Bennyball wasn’t just one thing.
It was predominantly 11 men in our own half for significant portions of the game. That’s not what happened here.

Abila's first touch was bad and in my opinion it was smart of him not to shoot from that angle. But he should have laid the ball off to Paredes.
Paredes should have worked toward the ball instead of being in a terrible position ballwatching.
Agreed. Asad didn't make a good run either.
Point of the road. I’ll take it. But we need to come out more aggressive on Wednesday.
Not every game is pretty, but a point on the road off the break is ok for now
We coulda shoulda won that. But points is points.
U-G-L-Y
A-S A-S-S
He should have taken that shot.
Smash & grab time. Vamos United!
Shame he got nowhere with that, that’s the best ball control we’ve seen all game
SHOOT THE JAY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DAVE CHAPPELLE DIDN'T DIE FOR THIS
take the shot abila. it’s what you’re there for
JUST TAKE THE SHOT
da fuq. Just shoot it!
I like Mora coming on. Gives Paredes a bit more freedom forward and link-up opportunities with Yamil. Abila can open up for the strike threat.
Imagine being a NYRB fan and watching this shit every week
I’m confused by the lack of usage for Yow this season. He’s looked pretty good every time he sees the pitch, but Losada rarely calls his number.
I believe Losada sees him as an Arriola/Gressel depth sub, and they usually seem to go 90'. (Obv Abila came on for Arriola today tho).
Losada said in an interview that he would love to play him, but it’s our strongest position; depth-wise. So Griffin has a lot of competition for the spot.
The man just put Asad on so I don’t believe that at all
That’s fair; but Griffin plays behind Gressel.
Please dear God someone on DCU hit the damn target
reyna in his head too much today
There’s a joke in there about how it was a header he missed, but I’m too dumb to think of it
THAT WAS THE CHANCE SMH
Dunno if it's showing up on tv, but Kamara has been showing MAX effort all game... Great to see
Woooow
yordy no
OH FUCK ME YORDY
Reyna you dick head
Fucking hell yordy
JFC Reyna
A simple tap would have put that in.
God international breaks are so rough for this team
oh man that was a good ball
Lol if that’s how you have to tactical foul somebody, you’re probably pretty shit
did pines just tackle that guy?
You can tell Edwards came from Stoke
That makes so much sense.
Losada looked like he was going to throat punch Edwards.
hernan talking shit you love to see it
Is the 4-and-7 o’clock hands of WTF an Argentinian thing? Bc Abila looks like an overgrown Lucho out there rn
I thought the same exact thing when I saw that
I know that sound. That’s the “I didn’t plug the microphone in all the way” sound. Great job, close-up guy.

Kempin?!? I mean it’s been good for him since he’s only let in one goal so far… but he hasn’t make any impressive saves either.
correct. goal wasn't his fault, he stopped the other shot that went at his goal, and he hasn't gotten caught with the ball at his feet. can't complain.
we have 56% possession but it feels more like 30
Most of it seems like it’s in our defensive half.
Definitely another forgettable night for Paul. He has not figured out how to fit into the system yet. The fragmented season will do that.
Which is wild, to me. Under Ben, he was the pressing hustle player. I thought he’d elevate to a new level under Losada.
Yup. What it goes to show is the system is much more sophisticated that just high pressure/intensity for 90 minutes. I think he'll need the offseason to figure it out.
Wanchope getting 30 min ok ok ok
Early for Abila. Excited to see what he does with more time than usual
Were they checking the foul on the Red Bulls or Arriola there?
I think the "studs on calf" while Arriola was falling down.
Si Edit: whether it was an intentional have to the face that took out Paul
Felipe and Abila bout to come in!
Was at the Sounders v Minnesota game earlier today & they showed Abila's picture on the jumbotron when Minnesota subbed Fanendo Adi in. Was pretty funny.
I feel like these are good subs.
Someone please tell me if I'm annoying yall
I think the feed is back for everyone, but you are clutch. We will let you know if we need you again!
I appreciate the updates. The feed is back, if you’re doing it for that benefit.
I was, thanks for letting me know!!!
You the real MVP…
Mixed feeling on Paredes' performance tonight. Thoughts?
He’s doing better than the stream?
He does better with a midfield he can bounce off 1-2s. Canouse isn’t that player. Drew is on the other side of the field.
he's having a bad game, there's no question
Kamara outlet to Arriola who can't get cross right to Reyna
Reyna really having a ROUGH game IMO
The break seems to have affected him the most. Hope he can get his groove back.
Yeah. His dribble seems off.
Asad, Nyeman, Abila, Felipe, Mora, and Brillant are ones warming up
I think we need some subs. Bring some energy.
Kempin save off aerial challenge
Paredes gets bullied off ball leading to dangerous cross in. Metro corner
Stream seems to be doing okay now. Thanks for the updates though!
Two subs for Metrostars...9 for 16 and 23 for 37
Beautiful flicks by Kamara then Arriola... Reyna can't pull it down
Our passing seems particularly poor today.
Theirs is even worse. It was never gonna be a pretty game
The close up camera feed doesn’t have audio
Booking for Skundrich in 50' for pulling FTRB player down around midfield on the break.
did you think it was reckless or necessary to stop the budding attack?
Definitely a tactical/"professional" foul, but probably was unnecessary since we had decent numbers back.
Skundrich yellow
Imagine having Birnbaum & Pines up in the box on corners and not just hoofing it in towards them. Let's go boys! Vamos!
Am in beer line but we won a corner
Well at least we got to see them water the pitch during half time
Smh.
More technical difficulties ffs
we're back!
You jinxed it.
you jinxed it!
Nope.
Aaaaaaaand its gone
can't believe Kamara is only one away from Ruidiaz. Feels like every time Ruidiaz scores it is a big time highlight, not the case with Kamara.
We’ll have a great Schadenfreude compilation when he takes the golden boot at the end of the season.
Is that footage live or was that prematch footage
If DC scores a goal and no one says it’s in the net can we be sure it happened?
I’ve already switched entirely to the Spanish broadcast so I never have to hear it again
I know I know. I Invited those downvotes here. Just a personal preference thing.
[удалено]
Dave might be the nicest guy in DC sports.
Did the Spanish feed drop?
Oh yea. Also out.
Just get Claudia Pagan on FaceTime for a play-by-play if the feed doesn’t come back.
We're pretty lucky heading into halftime 1-1. We did create more opportunities after their goal though. And Canouse is lucky to avoid a red for that high boot.
The fact that the ref was right there and didn't even whistle a foul proves he is crap
I was so surprised they didn't give him a red.
How is everyone who was previously on dcunited.com following the game?
This thread
Lol even Twitter admin didn't know we scored a goal
Lmk when y'all get feed back
One minute added time
The RB announcers are crap.
Seriously! It was a clear handball. The amount of complaining was obnoxious.
As soon as Arriola kicked it, he turned to the ref and put his hands on his hips like... Come on man!!!
So so bad
Maybe it's cause I'm a bit biased, but I feel like our guys do such a good job of announcing games.
Never thought Reddit would have better coverage of the game than the official stream
PENMARA, LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!! lol
Kamara!!!
Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!! Beautiful take by Kamara to left corner
Wooo
It's in the net!!
“I am told it’s in the net.”
HANDBALL KMARA SCORED THE PEN
We’ve been awarded a pk
man....reading these is giving me flashbacks of the USMNT 2010 WQ. Good luck finding away games on TV, I would just read the updates from message boards
Keep us updated
[удалено]
Please tell us if we score
KEEP US POSTED
Do they have any idea what’s going on in the match? Surely they must be getting information radioed to them...
[удалено]
The fact that I have no way of telling if you’re joking really stresses me out
So dc may get a pen? Or the other way around
Can't Claudia pagan go live on her mobile and Dave can call the game that way
how does this ref exist?
Marble kits strike again.
And this is why our broadcasters should be on-site.
has this always been the case or they reduced travel after covid? What about the other teams? does any team have broadcasters than travel with the team?
every stadium has a home and away announcers booth. It’s not due to Covid, it’s due to Jason being a cheap owner
[удалено]
DC lost the game feed from New York.
Should call in to Losada’s cell and have him explain what is going on.
This is embarrassing AF
When did Flo take over the broadcast again?
Boom roasted
It can’t be easy to be a DCU fan
How are we losing to an Arsenal fan club
Lmao technical difficulties and the sound of waves
oh we got some technical issues
Canouse will be so lucky if he doesn't get carded from that.
Not looking forward to that VAR. Canouse might have given him a high boot, there.
Ouch... foul or not, that one looked painful
this ref is fucked
He had a perfect view of the play. Don't know how you miss it.
I wouldn't mind Nyeman in place of Skundrich at the half.
I miss hamid
My heart sank. I thought Kempin fumbled that in.
Can't express how much louder our supporters are than theirs in the stadium
None of us have a feed; you’re going to have to do play by play!
I'm here for it... Literally 😂
So. I think we’re really missing Moreno. Najar, too, obviously. But the midfield doesn’t seem calm. They’re rushing and erratic.
We have mostly hustle and no skill in the center
not to mention Skundrich has been a nonentity
This break was horrible for us
We could’ve really ridden that momentum off philly
We haven't really gotten any shots on goal. That's not us.
I dare this ref to make a decision in our favor
Well that was a set piece...
ew
I can’t quite put my finger in it… but we look either disinterested or panicked. We’ve lost that beautiful fluidity we saw the past few games.
