Pulido and Salloi have to be sharp and active in this match. Both have been invisible at times through the season. Even Jake Davis might be on notice tonight as his last two matches have had a few too many mistakes.
So, shoves into the back to push a player down from behind while they have the ball isn’t a foul? C’mon Chapman
The F*ck STL changes are a bit much like yes they are an obnoxious fan base, it’s a trash city with no hope and anyone who is actually cool leaves STL as soon as possible but we can’t be as trashy as them.
They deserve it. They’re a trash fan base from a trash city, who support a team thats a bunch of hacking trash players that consistently play dirty.
They’re booing Rosero when he touches the ball, despite him being the one pushed, kicked, and shoved with only 1 call going his way
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Totally agree. Can’t call someone trash and then go be trash ourselves.
Kansas City has always been better than that! Especially on the KS side 😉
Defensively, SKC looks all over the place. All half long, Davis and Rosero have been getting beat by simple long balls. Honestly, it looks like a combination of the formation and lack of proactivity from the backline. One less midfield-minded player (with Pulido basically playing up top) means SKC aren’t getting enough pressure on the ball in the midfield, and STL are basically playing long balls over and through Davis and Rosero because of it.
That wasn’t a foul?
There’s bodying up, then there’s that. Agada was floored by Klauss, but no call. You can’t body up to remove a player from being able to play the ball.
Good to see PRO is back to their norm
Still can’t believe they didn’t call it, or get it right with VAR. It was a clear foul by Klauss.
A yellow to…sporting. This is ridiculous.
I’d say we have to be more physical, but the second we start getting more physical is when he’ll start calling the foukds he hasn’t been calling for us
Salloi was fouled they got that right, but the no-call for Agada is hot garbage.
The second one was a foul, but make no mistake STL looked way better than SKC that first half. They won every second ball and after that first goal, and they just put numbers in the midfield to make it harder for SKC to play through them. I wouldn’t be surprised if PV made a shift back to 4-3-3, bringing on a midfielder.
Allen Chapman is calling the dumbest game I’ve seen in a long time. 2 goals that should’ve been called back for fouls in the buildup. If only I had a gif handy of the foul they called on Khiry last year against LAFC for comparison. There’s no way they can call that and not call the junk STL is doing.
Haha another yellow for dissent. Forget fouls we got mean words being thrown around
2 blatant fouls in front of Chapman, and he motions for the ball. He’s nuts
Make that 3
Looks like Johnny Russell is gonna come in. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes out Pulido and Thommy goes back to the midfield.
Looks like we will see Pierre at right back next week. It will probably be good for Davis to take a seat for a game. This game has been rough for him. Got beat in behind multiple times, including on the goal, and headed/passed balls back into dangerous areas. He needs to watch for a little bit.
Put Vargas in for Salloi now.
Told you…
I’m done. How can you keep finding the same ways to screw up?!
what is with this team, with the lead, with minutes left in the half or the game
Vermes can no longer coach a team to finish
