If I were Tzionis, I would want out of the team having to sit while a guy like Khiry starts ahead of me. SMDH
Came here to say the same thing. Especially given Vermes whole “he needs to up his defense” talk, and Tzionis did just that, but yet still only get a max of 15 minutes every other game.
Give me Tzionis’ focus to find a goal over Shelton’s wandering around and going anywhere except at the goal. Every. Single. Day.
How is Tzionis not starting over Shelton
I like Agada, but he cannot place shots to save his life. His goals come from the ball just going to right spot in the goal, not from him picking out a spot.
He’s got to put that away
i mean he’s pretty consistent in his placement…it’s just that his placement is
“25 feet over the goal”
yikes agada
That first 20 minutes was solid (maybe only 15 minutes of play though), but we look gassed already. Radoja is doing a lot of standing and looking around like it’s the 80th minute of a 5-0 game

Except Davis. Davis is a beast
And there Radoja gets a yellow for a late/tired tackle.
also how fucked is it that pulido lasted one game after the extension before getting injured again? can we still back out of it?
Thst is one of the most BS reds I’ve ever seen. It has to be clear and obvious, it shouldn’t take a couple minutes of watching it if it’s clear and obvious. That one call completely changes the game, and it’s a terrible call.
Penso doing what Penso does. If that’s a red, then 50% of every other fouls is a yellow.
neither the ref or the linesman 10 feet away even called a foul lmao
Absolutely trash call. Johnny got the ball. The ball moved and Johnny followed through because the ball moved, but he didn’t go up and over the ball. That’s not a red card. Penso probably just murdered the last remaining hope of the playoffs.
That was not even a foul. 100% chance the red card is rescinded.
12 minutes? I thought there’d be like, 8 at most. But 12?!
12 minutes, penso is on crack
edit: never mind, 12 is cool
I hate to say it, but Shelton was 85% of the reason that goal happened. Nothing spectacular, but he did what he needed to
Uggghhhh,another set piece goal
pointless foul by radoja beforehand too
He looks sharper than ever. I don’t hate to say it, I just hate that we haven’t seen it
And we give it right back with shitty defending. Radoja with an absolutely unnecessary foul
is this guy’s first name “Teenage?”
Yes.
is he gonna change it when he gets older?
this idiot escobar is trying to make it 10 v 10
He should have seen a straight red for that “tackle” on radoja
seriously…fuck this VAR
No way that’s a red on Johnny, if the guy elbowing Thommy in the back isn’t a yellow. The reffing this game has gotten progressively shittier as time goes on, and I’m kind of terrified for the second half.
Also, seriously hoping that Radoja is coming off for Walter, he’s looked gassed all night, just standing and watching. Remi isn’t great as a d-mid, but at least he doesn’t stand there looking tired
Radoja is going to get himself sent off too
Walter for our CF, and not the gassed and verging on a red #6? What in the Vermes is this?
damn, almost worked out tho
Is it just me, or does running to the other side of the field to give a coach a yellow seem petty?
I just loved reading Vermes’ lips afterwards. “Fucking asshole.”
Shelton has played a really good game
His last few appearances have been far better.
You’ve got to put that away!
another scapegoat who’s been great today is fontas
2 passes and they had it, if it wasn’t for Melia. Why are we so susceptible to that?
Somehow, we still have a chance. Still, our chances don’t look too great
damn, they could have given that against salloi on dorsey…dodged a bullet
wasn’t that like 5 feet offsides??? before the melia save?
yeah, he was clearly off lol
Chris pensó can suck a fart out of my ass if he thinks he did a good job tonight.
They showed heart tonight
