bad ball bounce couple definitely feels frustrated games good happening punished teams work
We feel -- and probably Chivas feels the same way too -- you definitely get punished for your mistakes. Good teams make the ball bounce their way and sometimes we get frustrated with it not happening for us. We've had a couple games where we've said, 'Nothing bad is going to happen, we're going to make our own breaks,' but to actually say that and then play that way, it doesn't always work out.
definitely hoping infectious losing winning
We're definitely hoping so. I think winning is infectious and losing is as well.
bad build definitely guys
We definitely competed. It's frustrating. You feel bad for guys because you feel they competed for 90-plus minutes, but you didn't come away with a point. It's something we can definitely build on.
asking bad ball bounce definitely plus turn
We definitely competed. I feel bad for the guys. They competed for 90 plus minutes. You're just asking for a break, just for a ball to bounce your way. That's all it's going to take to turn it around.
basically definitely move proves tough
It just proves basically how tough it's going to be for roster spots. It's definitely going to be competitive as we move forward.
ball deal definitely moment win
It was definitely disappointing to see how they scored. We should have done better at that moment to win the ball and deal with the situation, but other than that we did really well defensively.
definitely match pride team themselves work
They said they didn't play 'United soccer,' ... They pride themselves on their work ethic. They're definitely a hard-working team and we'll have to match that.
definitely eliminate felt played road since throughout
I definitely felt that we competed throughout and I think we can do even better with that. We just have to eliminate mistakes. If you can do that, you're always in every game, especially on the road. I think that is as competitive as we've played on the road since I've been here.
common definitely loss puts tells
A loss definitely kind of puts us out. Not mathematically, but common sense tells us we're out.
again finding five fourth games lose played playing time ways win won year
We're not playing poorly. Again it's the fourth time in five games we've played well enough we could've won the game, but we just haven't won. We just have to find ways to win games, what's been going on most of the year is we're finding ways to lose games.
game playoffs point
We just have to play every game at this point on and just get a result, ... The playoffs are something you don't realistically want to think about at this point, you just want to do something to get a win.
backs five good last road season start win
We want to get that road win thing off our backs before the end of the season, but we also want to win the last five games. Then, in their minds, we start the season 5-0, and that's a good thing.
best felt loves player
We felt that he was the best player in the draft. He loves to pass.
certainly crosses deal players
We certainly have to deal with their crosses and the players they get on the end of the crosses.
