RSL v. Crew May 21 game thread

We were looking really good, everywhere except in the 2 goal boxes. (Except for D.J. he was the man again.)

Poor marking on set pieces and way too many touches when we got near the opponents goal box. Kamler had a lot of great runs that ended up not ending in a shot. Too many chances that ended without a shot.

Ditto, amen, to everything that has been keenly observed. I thought the boys looked a bit tired, too--maybe the three games in 8 days took more out of them than anyone had expected. The Crew also looked to be bunkered in through good portions of the game, couldn't we just chalk that up to a first-time experience and hopefully learn this is not how you beat it. That being said, it was still painful to watch

AFTER the ball was shot...DJ was non-existent on crosses...well one time he came out to about the 3 yard area and attempted to punch out a cross but got bumped and spent the next 5 minutes complaining about it. I love his shot-stopping, but it sure was nice watching Nolly dominate the area last Saturday.
