Garces gotta go. 2 reds in his last 2 games and 3 this season is unacceptable. JP and Miller need to interplay together better than they did against Houston, since it seems like they will both be playing the right side for the foreseeable future. And JP needs to get it together in terms of passing off the ball at the right time or getting solid effing strikes in on goal. That was the second shot like that he has whiffed in two games that could have been huge difference makers and a few times he probably could have passed off for at least a good shot attempt from a teammate, whether that be Kyogo, Miller, or Lozano. Everyone needs to get more used to playing with Kyogo and Lozano striking, seemed like Taylor was the only one really serving Kyogo all game. Maybe this is just a lack of midfield presence with no Reus and no Roberto yet but it felt disconnected. Backline was solid as it has been the last couple games, Nelson needs to keep his dang hands down and not give up a penalty in the box and its a different game entirely, and again, Garces gotta go. But otherwise, our defense has been my highlight of the team these last few games, Haak included. All this to say I feel like we are yet again a few simple mistakes away from beating a team like Houston, and it honestly felt like we could have at least equalized all the way up to the end even down a man. With Reus and Klauss coming back and Roberto coming in over the next week or two hopefully helps clear up some of this. That's my rant. Happy Monday y'all.

I love JP, I really do but his form has been lackluster. He's also not clinical. I'd like to see a game where he comes off the bench, or just have different starters in the attack. I know he's not to blame for the recent results and form but I'd like to see some more change in the starting 11 since he's played so much.
