bad ball created game midfield ourselves situations turn
Story of the game was how many times can we turn the ball over in the midfield and created bad situations for ourselves defensively.
bad ball create game kinds midfield seemed situations turned
The story of the game was how many times we turned the ball over in the midfield and create bad situations for ourselves. You just can't keep making those kinds of mistakes, giveaways, and we seemed to do that a lot.
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.
burst came coming fine pad picked push since solid stepped toe turn
He's been solid since we picked him up. I think someone stepped on his toe or something so that's why he came out of the game. We put a little pad under it, so I think that's why he wasn't able to turn and push but he was fine coming back for the ball. But after that he didn't have that burst that he had in the first half.
difficult good last san team
It's not going to be easy. We know it's going to be a difficult challenge; San Jose was a very good team last year.
anywhere created easy effort goals good possession stop teams until
Effort was good, possession was very good ... we created a lot of chances. (But) we're never going to go anywhere until we stop all the easy goals that go in. We just make it too easy for teams at times.
andy field forward hopefully looking time together underneath
I'm actually excited, looking forward to getting (Kreis and Cunningham) on the field together at the same time and hopefully having Andy underneath them.
allowed front guys looked net position problem
It looked like a problem with our shape. We were out of position and allowed two guys to be in front of our net unmarked.
ball experience field
It's disappointing because I know we're better than what we showed. We have too much experience on the field to give the ball away as many times as we did.
far level produce product several talent team worked
So far it's worked well on several fronts. We have better team chemistry, the talent level is up and we will be able to produce a better product on the field.
focus stage thinking winning
At this stage we just want to focus on winning a game. We're not even thinking about the playoffs, we just want to win a game.
