Smir and Stroud are the only two players listed. Durkin out for St. Louis city

Keep your concentration up, Morris
Keep your concentration up, man!
Go win the fucking ball
And kick it at the wall
And let’s get out of this jam
(substitute Diaz as needed)

Hey Cam, are you sure?
Hey Cam, are you sure?
About that sub-sti-tu-tion,
Hey Cam, are sure?
WE’RE NOT

AZ, he’s gonna flop (👏👏-👏👏)
AZ, he’s gonna drop (👏👏-👏👏)
There is nothing in it
There’s really nothing in it
But there’s only one response which is:
REF YOU SUCK!
REF YOU SUCK!

I’m sorry for what I said about you, Wil
Someone has to show up,
And you are always there
I’m sorry for what I said, Wil

Pride night is in October
Though Stonewall was in June
We’re tired of fucking losing
Go win one for us Loons

Genuine question. I can not believe the softball questions that Cam is getting through these dismal performances. I have not heard one reporter mention that we have 1 win in 18 and are on-track for our worst season since TCF days (we may even finish with less points then those seasons). Not to mention questioning his baffling tactical choices.

Are they pulling some trump whitehouse bs and not inviting anyone back that asks tough questions? Maybe I am out of the loop and this is just how sports pressers in the U.S. are, I don't watch many.

I was just reminded (via Soccerwise) that Saint Louis changed their coach early last season (fired “because they felt they were directionless”) and then had massive front office turnover halfway through the year. And of course they are a “small market” team.

This is just a reminder to myself that these things don’t have to be woe-is-me excuses when a club has ambition.

I was reading Olivier Giroud’s sound bite about LA, and the US more broadly, not being a football city (or country). I tend to agree with him. Other leagues here are more successful and have way deeper history and tradition, and honestly there’s nothing wrong with that.

It got me thinking about the Loons. The Twin Cities will never be a soccer town, not with every other pro and college team fighting for attention and dominating the social calendar. I suspect that gives ownership a convenient excuse to be conservative on payroll or put other priorities first, since the return on investment is hard to justify. To be fair, I do appreciate what they’ve done around the stadium. The stadium is amazing, the Loon sculpture is great, and the upgrades to Midway’s United Village are nice.

But there’s one thing ownership can and should fix: making sure the front office and the team bring intensity and hunger to win. Mediocrity, and papering over misses, falls on them. I’m not saying the players don’t want to win. They’re professionals, and you don’t get to that level without being competitive. What frustrates me (and I think a lot of fans) is the lack of urgency.

Under the banner of staying even-keeled, the pressers and public comments have been really disappointing. There’s a sense of accepting defeat, no raw emotion after a loss, no paranoia about the chances they missed. I’d love to see the team show real disappointment in how they played while still demanding focus and everything it takes to win. Instead we get the same tired comments and the same routine before every game. I haven’t seen a single change in warmups or match prep, and the only tactical tweaks came in last weekend’s disappointing home result, which feels like too little, too late.

Now the Loons are on pace to tie their worst point total in MLS history. It’s time to wake up, stop worrying about looking uncomfortable, and show some anger or emotion. Fans can feel it when the team cares.

Not sure how to feel about this given the general vibe of the team, but thought I’d acknowledge it.

If anything it’s hard to believe it took someone this long to break CR’s record.

Welcome to Free Talk Monday!

Are you new and have questions? Do you have non-MNUFC related stuff you want to discuss? This is the place to do it.

Keep it civil. Don’t be a dick.

I don’t have the time right now to dig into the data, but I want to see if I’m the only one thinking this.

Until we put Caldeira into the team and Yeboah started scoring (due in large part to this), our team was obviously struggling to score any goals at all. The change of putting a target man striker next to Kelvin has led to insane improvement on the offensive end, of course, but it seems like our team has not found a way to effectively defend behind two dedicated strikers. I prefer the two strikers since it means the soccer’s watchable, but even though we’re scoring, we haven’t won in 10+ games.

If you guys could** ***change the formation or add a type of player to the team to solidify the defending, what would it be?*

Thanks

I’ve seen a vocal few blaming the fans for the team not being better or more money being invested. This take is just dumb. Fans are vocal on social media, SG’s have done a chant calling for more money to be invested at least at the one game I was at (More chanting should be done), some people have cancelled their season tickets. Beyond that how much can the fans really do? The Timberwolves were awful for about a decade, poor attendance didn’t make them better. At the end of the day the owner is going to spend what he or she is going to spend. Fans didn’t build the team that reached the WCF in 2020 and they didn’t build this team.

This season is very frustrating, but the team is dealing with the growing pains of moving on from Ramsey, Oluwaseyi, Lod, DSC, etc. I think it’s even more frustrating because the team still has some talent, but Knowles can’t capitalize on any of it and needs to be fired. He’s lost the locker room and doesn’t seem to care about results either.

I won’t cancel my season tickets because I appreciate having top flight soccer in MN, but It doesn’t mean I’m not frustrated with the team and the level of investment. It doesn’t mean I’ve continued to spend money at the team store or concessions. The org is still financially impacted by a poorly performing team whether that’s through sponsors, jersey sales, team store sales, the ticket market, growing the fan base, etc.

Imagine French toast sticks with cheese (that you can’t taste) and honey/syrup. It was just horrible. Like wtf. I was going into it thinking it was a sweet and spicy sauce that goes on wings. Nope. It was honey syrup drenched french toast breading with the a texture of cheese.
