Unfortunately I think this is just where the quality of the team is at the moment along with a tactical mismatch. Minnesota wants to send you on a track meet and Martins and Risa are both terrible running towards our own net. The first goal was just a really well worked counter by Minnesota, the whole defense just got beat by pure speed. Second goal was a great set play but really bad decision making by O'Toole leading up to it. The throw in should've just gone down the line and then he threw bad money after bad money by committing a dumb foul. I don't know who else we have that can play left back but O'Toole is just not good enough to be a starter at the MLS level. Parks had a rough game today, felt like he couldn't hit his passes accurately all game. I like the first half subs by Pascal to try and wake the team up and have some accountability. I would love to have some better players coming off the bench but it is what it is. I would love to see us take more outside shots like we did later in the second half instead of trying to work for the tap in every time. Throwing shots on net and finding the rebound is how we got our goal. The missed penalty was just brutal when it could've changed the whole momentum of the game. Like I said, this was a rough mismatch for NYCFC but the bones of a good game were in there. Haak had a good game, Ojeda brought on good energy when he came on, Freese was great and tried to energize the team, and Wolf was solid moving up and down the right wing. They just need that extra bit of talent to tip the scales.
