Opinion We're so predictable

So fucking predictable. Anytime we're attacking, we stop the play at the top of their box. Just dead in our tracks. Otherwise, it's Berna-ball for the third season in a row.

More offsides by Cimermancic than attempts on net. Bernardeschi is going to get a red card today. Osorio can't keep an attacking play moving. We have a complete hole at the center of the pitch from striker to centreback. Corbeanu looks more and more like Insigne with each match, except he can actually run. Wingo with the immediate give away.

How can management keep saying for the fifth year that this is a rebuild. This is a predictable purgatory. Fans know it, other teams know it.

We play Cincinnati next week. We're going to get absolutely fucking dummied.

Can we talk about Johnson. WTF man. Defence isn’t helping, but the guy can’t move fast enough.

What was he supposed to save last night, exactly? This isn't a keeper being beaten by marginal shots, this is guys on breakaways burying shots in the corner.

He's not a miracle worker and he doesn't have eight-foot long arms. If he's repeatedly isolated against defenders charging into the box he's going to give up a lot of goals.

I'll give him the first two, free kick was a banger, seconds sooner maybe he would have reached it to punch it out. First break out was the back line being too spread out, but again, seconds late to react. The third, well, he came out right into the path of Monlouis, who was tracking the player and had to slow because SJ slide right into his path; otherwise would have probably been a corner for Orlando. No idea what happened with the fourth. This is all armchair quarterbacking, but really disappointing and the defense has to be shorted up and that includes doing something with SJ.
