Zavagnin’s squad looking to build consistency
Sporting Kansas City at Houston
Good news: Sporting KC has earned points in the last three matches. Bad news: They were all draws.
Coach Zavagnin and the squad have shown good streaks but have also lost points on moments of brilliance by opponents. They need to start showing consistency and start earning wins so they can move up the table. Houston is seven points above them and in a playoff spot after earning a midweek win at NYCFC.

Maruffo continues to show why he’s one of the last officials I ever want to see officiating an SKC game. Houston should have a minimum of 2 yellows by now, as well as more fouls. With that said, we should have one too though
I agree.
Zavagnin is subbing AND playing kids. And we’re about to win from down. He’s earning the job in my book.
And Pulskamp kept us from being overwhelmed early.
I love getting down voted. It begs the question, who wants Vermes back? A lot of people were reluctant to see the back of him.
I think KZ has earned the job. For me that’s a stretch since I wanted the owners to look outside for a new manager.
I’m looking forward to getting past my open heart surgery so I can attend matches again.
I hope surgery goes well and wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you so very much for your kindness. It’s a struggle and I hope I’m winning.
