Alcibiades Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We are shit.DC United looked terrible yesterday. They came out in the same midfield diamond formation that they fielded against KC last week. I thought that meant they'd be at least solid through the middle and difficult to break down, but we were all over the play defensively in ways that I don't think that any formation would fix. Our attacked were too slow and lacking in creativity such that they had almost their whole team behind the ball by the time we got into the attacking third. DC United had maybe a couple decent chances all game.All we were doing is slowly passing through midfield, failing to find a killer pass into the final third, then lumping it into the box and hoping someone gets lucky.

kairparavel Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Handsome Michael Owen (as he's known around our home) is subbed in. MC predicted a career ending injury as he steps on the pitch.ETACan't we just give Wigan the FA Cup and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly poor completion rates and no offensive plan whatsoever. As a friend put it to me yesterday, if you asked me what Olsen told the team to do on the attack, I couldn't tell you.

mormont Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 that was some comeback by hibs in the scottish cup semi final. 3-0 down to a 4-3 victory. Through gritted teeth, I will admit that it was a heck of a comeback. The other semi also finished 4-3 after extra time, but was a bit more balanced (2-2 at half-time).Now I have to cheer Celtic in the final. Can't have the Hibs breaking that 111-year losing streak. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Little bit nasty that from our sweet prince Aguero there... Lucky to still be on the pitch I'd say.Edit: probably deserved that bit of street justice Torres just administered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcibiades Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah couple nasty challenges there, and Torres probably should have had a penalty. Can't really whine about the result though. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 That'll do nicely. Twenty minutes more and Chelsea would have won, but we dominated the first hour so we deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
