I know he’s never been an aerial threat, but Pulido does not even attempt to challenge for these long balls that go towards him. If he isn’t doing that and not holding up the ball, he just can’t be a reference point for the attack.
The attack has died with him so many damn times.
He doesn’t jump, nor does he jockey for ground position.
Thommy has twice the number of shots as pulido. Agada has more shots than pulido.
$3.6 Million to be non existent, make bad passes to teammates and make great passes to the opposing team
I guess with 3.6 million something HAS to be good, right?
Started the game late….
Pulido is allergic to the box and loses possession a ton.
Our wingers are making runs… ish? They are dropping so far back into midfield that we have no options.
Who the hell is cha-RA?
We fold at almost every challenge.
Radaja and Memo passing to each other 4-5 times while trying to move forward… meanwhile no movement from Russell, Pulido, or Salloi (all 3 walking or half-jogging)
One shot in the first half… blocked. Not even on target or off target.
We had a ton of pressure on the left side, we cycled back to tim, who passed back to the left side instead of switching the field. We gave up the ball and they scored.
Classic Johnny Russell. Walking up the field as Hernandez carries the ball past him, giving Hernandez nobody to play the ball to. I think the F in JFR stands for “flagging.”
After he makes a recovery run or offensive run he is gassed for the next 3 to 5 minutes. Like walking, nothing left in him.
Too much wind resistance from that ridiculous beard?
Memo salvaged that. Great strike!
Another goal outside the 18…
Felipe is straight up walking if the ball is on the left side of the field. This is partly why we have no options in the midfield.
Fun stat from earlier: with remi and thommy out – pulido had the furthest distance traveled around half-time.
This team sucks.
Johnny Russell walking to that ball in the box is notable.
Suffering, huh?
The same people aren’t giving effort when effort is needed.
I would be ok if Pulido, Russell and Salloi were only used as subs the rest of the season.
Boy, when’s next year start? I’d like to have my excitment for games back.
Unfortunately, a start to a new season doesn’t mean success. Or excitement, unfortunately.
SKC will win a trophy this year. Hint; it grows on trees and is useful for eating soup
This looks really bad for SKC. They had no urgency, no fight in the attack. Then, as they have been all season, they are toothless in defense. Folks not tracking back, not following the most dangerous players on the pitch. Their off-the-ball work on defense is truly tragic.
