Nothing's working for woeful RSL

Born in a Soccer Land | 11:15 p.m. June 4, 2009

From the Webster English Dictionary:
TEAM: a number of persons associated together in work or activity.
Kreis, meet with your players and start having a TEAM, not only players and coaches going in different directions. You have material to make a competitive team. And RSL fans will support you playing well, with motivation and desire to WIN.

I Believe.

What would work | 9:46 a.m. June 5, 2009

Hey RSL, I know what would work great. Fold! You and your sport are a joke!

Jason has lost confidence or he wouldnt have sat Findley and Movsisyan last week. If you have confidence in your players you dont bench them. You tell them you believe in them and let them fight through it. Kries is as confused as they are; 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 3-5-2, everything about this team is inconsistent. The ONLY thing that has been a constant with RSL is Jason Kries, what does that tell you. Time to cut the strings and move on... This franchise is a Joke right now!!!

Findley came off the bench last year and was a great spark for us. I hope we can turn things around, especially tomorrow.

The problem I see with RSl's coaching is this: The team has good midfielders but plays hopeless long balls over that midfield. I know Findley and the other guy can fly, but teams know the long ball is coming and they are all over these forwards. The best I have seen from RSL has resulted from working the ball from midfield to the flanks and then back in to those quick forwards, both of whom are green and need maximum minutes.

I think I might take him up on that.

J Crunch | 11:52 a.m. June 5, 2009

Well, a little bit of helpful news just came in... Connor Casey replaced Brian Ching on the MNT roster for Saturday's game v. Honduras, so the CRapids won't have him or Mastroeni for the game. I think the team will pull themselves out of this slump - starting tomorrow. However, if they can't beat a Colorado team without the two aforementioned players, even without Javi and Kyle (who haven't been playing very well this year anyway), I just may lose all hope however.

Go RSL | 11:55 a.m. June 5, 2009

Let's beat Colorado tomorrow!

J Crunch | 1:24 p.m. June 5, 2009

See that is the problem... Why do we need something like this to take advantage of and to make us feel hopeful. If I am going to win, put me up against the best you can for that week. Beating and bunch of scrubs helps no one.

I agree with you, its just frustrating that is the way we need to look at it.

Nothing is working | 1:35 p.m. June 5, 2009

Not even free tickets to every game. They could send Draper prisoners to the games as punishment...no, that's cruel and unusual.

@Nothing is Working | 2:47 p.m. June 5, 2009

Ha! We rarely get witty trolls. Come to a game, I'll buy you a beer.

Idea | 3:13 p.m. June 5, 2009

Maybe we could play David Archuleta "giggles" everytime Colorado takes a goal kick or something.

That would throw them off.

I really hope that RSL shows up to play tomorrow night. The house will be packed with new potential RSL fans there to see David Enchilada. Every person I have brought to a match has loved it and very strongly desired to come back. Tomorrow night is a great night to sell some tickets to future matches.

i will be watching on FSC let us see if you can beat a depleted squad.'

By the way: name me another country that plays MLS games not only the same day but overlaps the time of the National Team?

What a joke who runs this league--disgusting what desparation like they could have not all played Sunday or even midweek. Yet with any national team guys gone like Landon Donovan in the Only Galaxy appearance in toronto, do you see lower prices to entice?

Give me EPL

By the way Findlay being benched by Kreis is one word:

STUPID

TODD on long balls | 11:14 p.m. June 5, 2009

LONG BALLS OVER THE TOP HEE HEE REMINDS OF DAVID DIR IN DALLAS PLAYING JASON KREIS AS HIS STRIKER

every day I see more and more similarities with Kreis and Sloan. Maybe we should call them "Kreis's Mice" They can do battle with "Jer and his Sloanaholics" I would pay top dollar in the La Coliseum to watch this...

todd on New Formation | 11:18 p.m. June 5, 2009

Kreis and his faithful "mice" will be elated to know he is planning to debut a "3-5-1-1".

It was felt at Real's offices that this should see at least 4 goals tomorrow night and cure Kreis and the boys (lads)
