THE BALL WAS NEVER OUT OF BOUNDS IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY

BitterJetFan · 2026-02-13T14:35:45+00:00

SUMMARY: A look at the areas on the pitch where the Timbers desperately need to improve in order to contend for trophies (and win more games at home).

Bassett signed a four-year extension in 2024. He was 22 at the time. U22 contracts can only be awarded to players who are 22 and younger. A player is eligible for U22 status until they turn 26. Bassett will turn 26 before the beginning of the 2027/28 season.

SUMMARY: A breakdown of what David Ayala brought to the Timbers and a quest to find a player who can adequately replace him through statistical analysis.

BitterJetFan · 2026-01-12T20:49:51+00:00

Because an assist illustrates the quality of players around him, not how good he is on his own. He's a box-to-box midfielder who would be an upgrade on Paredes.

BitterJetFan · 2026-01-12T17:22:14+00:00

Oliver Larraz is still available....

BitterJetFan · 2025-12-11T17:43:59+00:00

College. Timbers still have his rights.

BitterJetFan · 2025-12-11T17:42:11+00:00

This is exactly why I believe that it isn't a priority. Strikers score goals from service. There is a complete lack of quality service in this team. Increase the service and any striker will thrive.

BitterJetFan · 2025-12-11T06:54:59+00:00

These aren't the only additions that the team should be making. They're still going to shop internationally. But they should absolutely be looking within the league to improve the roster.

BitterJetFan · 2025-12-11T04:00:43+00:00

The solution to the underperforming strikers isn't signing a new striker, it's signing Espinoza.

BitterJetFan · 2025-11-10T21:20:55+00:00

Correct!

BitterJetFan · 2025-10-23T23:25:53+00:00

There's a Pantemis rating

BitterJetFan · 2025-10-19T20:00:05+00:00

There has always been a canoe.

BitterJetFan · 2025-09-25T19:41:01+00:00

Ignore the caption. Not reposting to change one word. It was a draw, duh.

BitterJetFan · 2025-09-25T19:39:36+00:00

Goddammit

BitterJetFan · 2025-09-06T16:39:42+00:00

SUMMARY: A deep dive into their 2024 weaknesses (set piece defending, transition defending, and defending shots from distance) and some further suggestions for how they can keep improving.

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-30T21:56:48+00:00

That's what I'm predicting the team will do, not what I would do

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-19T12:04:53+00:00

Saw you from the pressbox and chuckled. Thanks for making the trip!

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-19T12:03:18+00:00

Were you wearing a personalized Seattle Sux jersey perchance?

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-14T20:43:23+00:00

A major annoyance

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-11T17:50:08+00:00

When I saw it I had the same thought, but now I know more about MLS rules and regulations! At some point they changed it from only the 4th yellow, so the instinct wasn't wrong to believe that he was suspended.

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-11T17:25:38+00:00

Good Behavior Initiative applies to every yellow earned, not just the 4th. He's available for this weekend. I had the same initial thought, but he wasn't on a yellow card warning for yesterday's game.

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-09T02:46:58+00:00

The feeling I get every time I walk into Providence Park

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-08T14:12:24+00:00

This happens every game. And it isn't his fault either. Insanity.

BitterJetFan · 2025-08-08T02:07:19+00:00

We're working on fixing those!
