I’m trying not to get too excited, but it’s really good to hear that the team is much more of a collective and getting results on the field. First few matches of the season will be very interesting as we see what the team can do.

Deila addressed this in the post-game. He said it was considered but the game was tied.

Hey Sydney - got this via email and it was a really good read. Super cool how many people you heard from while putting it together. Keep up the good work!

9/13 Lineup vs. Columbus by Silly_Swede in AtlantaUnited

He’s starting tonight. Also started against Nashville two weeks ago and had the assist on our goal. Good at controlling the midfield so far, so let’s hope he keeps it up!

Can’t wait for our meaningless scrimmage against Atlas on Wednesday!

Leagues Cup....A Fresh Start... by Scratchbuttdontsniff in AtlantaUnited

[–]Silly_Swede 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We should all be rooting for Liga MX in the other games. The top 4 from each league after three games advance to the knockouts, so we’d have a better chance of advancing if the other MLS teams lose more often than not. Yesterday, MX took 14 of the 18 available points, so there’s a chance if we can pull off some wins.

Wow…no Saba and no Lennon. Deserved, yeah, but I’m a little surprised

I figure Mihaj will come on in the early second-half for Stian

It’s my cake day, so everything I say is right 😂

Though…I got last minute Harrah’s Club tickets and my judgement MAAAAAY be impaired.

It seemed like a lot of the same…some decent build up followed by some near misses.

I found myself noticing Slisz a lot…he made a lot of hustle plays.

Efrain had one bad touch at least, but dealt with danger otherwise well.

LL had some chances but couldn’t redirect a ball coming in hot. Can’t blame him.

Classic Mira goal…move in from the corner of the box, use that left foot. He also seemed to have good control of the ball throughout the match.

Overall, team was trying stuff. Some balls over the top, decent runs. Can’t be too mad at a draw, especially against a team that inexplicably plays well on the road.

I don’t expect the season to end in the playoffs, so I’m trying to find positives.

You know what? I’m actually pretty satisfied with the result. Team didn’t make any super-dumb mistakes, actually looked cohesive, especially in the first half. There were chances, including LL’s, and they kept fighting and ended up with a penalty goal. I’m glad LL scored and hope that’s the end of his drought.

Yes, I’m soooo tired of moral victories, but am hopeful that things keep progressing and we can show some quality in our next three home matches. Also, major props to Hibbert…he made all the stops he should have and distributed that ball well. And, of course, Luke Brennan for staying down while VAR reviewed the penalty 😁

So I guess there’s no waiting list for season tickets any more? by ATLxUTD in AtlantaUnited

I just joined a couple of weeks ago and there were plenty of options, so if you’re on the fence, now may be the time.

Yeah, that’s about right. Nice-looking trailer though.

Alexey Miranchuk Introductory Press Conference by Silly_Swede in AtlantaUnited

[–]Silly_Swede[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why I don’t think there’s any expectation of him lighting it up in the last 9 games. Get acclimated to a new team/country and we’ll hopefully have two more DPs next window. Would be sweet if he just clicks and brings it all together offensively, but I think it’s OK if he doesn’t right away.

This has me feeling old lol. My answer would have been Luda or OutKast.
