The one where we played the Crew but did not say adieu

1: In the first 20 minutes we would, on occasion, win the ball back. We could have done with a little more emphasis on what comes directly after winning the ball back. I’d like to see us be more direct in those moments. 

2: We got started when we stopped and started. We’re not really a team that enjoys a stop start game but neither is Columbus. So we tried it out for size and it fit pretty well from the 18th minute on and we got the all important first goal. 

*For me this essentially means we frustrated them. Something we failed to do last time and must do again on Sunday. 

 

3: Giving up a goal at the worst possible time is nothing new to Atlanta. Responding immediately? That kinda isn’t but we are here for it. 

*Getting a yellow for the Spidey mask I stupid. Especially when MLS is tweeting out photos of it. 

4: Missing a sitter is ugly. What followed was beautiful. Georgios grabbing his man and amping up the crowd into chants of SILVA! 👏 👏 SILVA! was a really special moment. Still gotta score there but I love the togetherness. 

5: We needed a performance. We got it. At least in the second half. GG was on another level. Even with the late conceded goal, it should give Columbus plenty to think about between now and Sunday.
