I’m just here to sound off about the New England Revolution and occasionally other teams. Pay me no mind.

The play today from the #BostonLegacy looked promising but sloppy. The attack showed a good amount of threat, but there were a lot of missed connections and unnecessary fouls. Hopefully the team cleans stuff up as they settle in. #UpTheSwans

I can’t help but wonder what it will take for world football to sanction the US the way they have Russia. Venezuela wasn’t enough. Will Iran be? You could make the argument that the war in Ukraine is expansionist in a way US military actions aren’t, but that seems a pretty arbitrary line to draw.

We miss having most people that San Jose has😞

There were *some* good moments on offense this week, but none of them were confident. Possession felt frantic and uncoordinated, and everyone looked flat-footed on the second ball. Defense was better than last week, but (1) that’s a low bar, and (2) you can’t win games if you never score. #NERevs

Remember when we played offense? Ah, those were the days. #NERevs

I’m genuinely starting to wonder whether I’ll ever again be able to watch this club without seeing everything we lost when Bruce left. #NERevs

I’m trying really hard to reserve judgement on this one. Chanca was one of the few non-Carles players on this squad that actually showed promise. Y’all better bring in someone good with that money.

That’s surely the most anticlimactic end to a #NERevs season…since 2021.

I don’t understand why Chancalay isn’t a starter. He may not be producing goals lately, but he brings hustle and threat to the attack that seems criminal to wait to bring on until the 71st minute, especially when you’re also paying him DP money. #NERevs

This season has been bad, but this match is off the deep end. No one is putting in any fucking effort. Giving Miami ages on the ball unchallenged. Some of the laziest giveaways I’ve ever seen. We may be out of the playoffs, but at least play for the sake of pride, JFC!!! #NERevs

Apparently no one cares to press at all on this team. I swear, Inter Miami’s goalkeeper could just stand on the ball for the remainder of the match and the Revs would be content to just let the clock run out.🙄 #NERevs

Where the hell was Sands on that play?? #NERevs

Agreed. We haven’t seen this amount of money wasted on an unused DP since…last year. With Vrioni. The key difference here is that Vrioni sucks and Chanca doesn’t.

Can the MLS commentators stop saying “spot of bother”??? Just because you’re commentating football doesn’t mean you have to do a half-hearted imitation of British English. #NERevs

Caleb has only been gone for a week, but you can already see the difference in the team now that they’re not being pigeonholed into dumb, slow Porterball. They’re not looking amazaing or anything, but there’s definitely a difference. #NERevs

FUCKING FINALLY!!!! Weird-ass time to do it, but I’ll take it.

Now fire Onalfo.

Say you want about Chanca, but at least he’s trying to score from somewhere, unlike the rest of the team who aren’t trying yo score from anywhere. #NERevs

Wait, did Brad say that Porter is on yellow card watch?? I didn’t even know that that was a thing for coaches🤦🏼‍♂️. #NERevs

First-half thoughts: playing fast is better than playing slow. Real groundbreaking stuff here. 🙃 #NERevs

Does anyone on this team know how to send or receive a cross?? #NERevs

New England Revolution: Here’s a quote from Carles Gil, courtesy of our good friends at The Blazing Musket: “In the last two years, we’ve lost many games. We don’t win a lot, so it’s difficult to say we’re in a good way. We need to be honest: the reality is that we need to change things.”8

Footnote 8:  Bear in mind that they’ve already changed almost the entire roster.

Heh. Trying to think of what Gil could be referring to.
What are some things that the Revs HAVEN'T changed in the past 2 years?

Drawing a total blank here.

I was so confused by the Feingold for Beason sub. They were in a place to be chasing the game, and made a DEFENSIVE sub!?

In conclusion, #PorterOut, #OnalfoOut, and for the love of god, please give Carles a legit scorer to pass to. I would also personally add #BilelloOut and #DitchTheKrafts, but I understand those sentiments are less unanimous among Revs fans and also harder things to make happen.

3(continued). Maybe this is old news to everyone else, but I guess I’d sort of assumed that those of us who actually care about the club (as opposed to casual attendees or those just coming for Sonny) were a small enough minority that no one would hear us complaining. That is far from true.

3. I was really surprised at just how wide-spread the discontent with Porter is. The boos at his name being announced before the game were loud and resounding, and chants of “Fire Porter” were frequent and readily audible.

2(continued). Secondly, the issue with finishers isn’t about finding players who can find the net. It’s about finding players who can get on the end of a cross and turn that into a shot. There were so many crosses that had no one on the end of them to even try to turn the ball goal-wards.
