The one where our players have a steak in their celebrations

1: It was coming and today it happened. Luiz is a damn baller. Really happy to see him find the net today. He’s been so close so many times. I fully expect this to unlock a bevy of goals. He’s a technically gifted player who’s great on the ball, an excellent passer, he can dribble, he can shoot. I’d probably be better off listing the things he can’t do just for times sake. I can really see him becoming one of the leagues best players. 

 

2: Tonight we did something we normally struggle with, breaking down a back 5. We did that by trying some balls over the top and getting an early goal doesn’t hurt either. Cincinnati at this point can’t afford to drop any more points if they wanna play soccer in November so they had to come out of thier shell. That just left them even more exposed all night and we exploited the space they gave us. 

 

3: #ThatMyUnited. This is what we remember. This is what we want. We’re back. Actually I’d make the case that we been back since that W in Columbus. You know me, I don’t like to be hyperbolic, but i argue this isn’t just being back, this is better. Did we take a cue from the Biden PR team? It certainly appears so. 

 

4: It’s the boat show, it’s the Josef show, it’s the Araujo show…..still isn’t the Cubo show 😂 but damn, it’s all the shows. We posses so much attacking threat from so many different ways and from so many different players. I know Cincinnati is crap but keeping the opponent guessing is going to propel us into a good playoff spot. 

 

5: In addition to recent player acquisitions, looks like the FO finally got the coaching hire right and for all the criticisms we’ve laid at their feet (justifiably so) they deserve recognition here. Pineda in combination with Rob has instilled joy and belief into the squad. He’s getting the intangibles right. The engagement with the fans, the community, the social media content, al this stuff matters in this league and to this club. Happy footballers makes for quality play, and we gettin it.
