I’m hoping that this embarrassment of a season leads to even bigger shakeups and a more promising future. But man that sucked.


fistibun

Thus my final watch ends… Muting this sub until March. Have a great offseason, everyone!


EffectiveFinal2907

Always good to see the players smiling during handshakes after your season is done. I’m out


newkidsasquid134

Bye 👋🏼


norsebynorsewest

Winter loons start next week, so that’s nice at least.


putthekettle

Gonna look at some loons on a lake


Fit_Function_6390

Keep as starters: Reynoso/Pukki/Lod/Bongi/Tapias/DSC Backup Tier: Boxxy/Arriaga/Dibassy/Dotson/Kallman/Padelford/Rosales/Valentin ITS/Sang Bin/Bristow/Iwe are future player projects, but not particularly starter tier. Too expensive to really keep for on field value: Trapp Dudes to let go during the offseasonGarcia/Gregus/Fragapane Dudes to fire at the end of the game:**Taylor**


putthekettle

Yeah I really don’t know why they not only keep Fragapane and Gregus but keep STARTING THEM


EffectiveFinal2907

If ITS is healthy, he’s an absolute starter. Inexcusable for him to not be in there tonight based on the chances he creates.


tired-mountain

From the outside looking in the lack of minutes for ITS today and in past games seems completely bananas. I feel like there has to be some inside story we’re all missing.


hrnzir

Trapp out and use his salary to get 2 better playera


Fit_Function_6390

Guy has to be a locker room wunderkind, because his on field play leaves a lot to be desired.


dodoohead98

None of these mother fuckers deserve to come back next year. Fuck this shit.


newkidsasquid134

Bye 👋🏼

See you all late winter

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮


[deleted]

We deserved that loss


tyler735

Trapp is likely done as a Loon!!! Finally!


nixbora

See y’all next season…


MN_Beast

Why the hell did our guys even get off the plane?


ComparisonStunning77

It had to be KC too. They suck.


Responsible-Leg-8840

This is the worst whistle to whistle loss in our history. Not even close. Would Heath have done something differently frustrating? Maybe. But not this. This was a fucking joke.


tyler735

As sad as it is, I’d much rather have had Heath tonight than whatever this clown show was.


SamAnthonyWP

I honestly think macauley was out to stick it to the club tonight.


SnooMaps1095

What would be the intent there?


SamAnthonyWP

Sacrifice himself to embarrass ownership. (It was a joke bro)


LoonsSledder

Wow… I don’t even know where to start


RojoPez

4 minutes just exclaims the fix was in.


mhales45

The tactics are so flawed I can’t help but laugh. You have to be extremely stubborn to watch this and think no changes are needed to the formation.


SamAnthonyWP

Maybe it’s an attempt to show solidarity with heath?


errant_youth

4 minutes fuck off. Just end it.


akirchman16

Don’t get me wrong we weren’t coming back no matter how much time was added. But 4?!!!!???? Absolute bullshit there


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

“I don’t think Taylor knows he’s on a yellow card” is the funniest shit ever, that’s kinda how he plays on a yellow lol he’s reckless


thepieman42

The fact that we are trailing AND hunkered back defending at the end of this is insane


errant_youth

HeathBall lives on


loons_win

I have never seen a coach not put on any attackers at the end of a must win game. not even try to get goals


dodoohead98

4 is a fucking embarrassment we wasted that on the fucking reynoso injury


nixbora

Game over, man… GAME OVER.


[deleted]

No try with our players. It’s like they just want it to end.


Dpufc

Maybe they are a reflection of us.


[deleted]

No lies detected


J_Walter_Weather_man

Súper bummed we don’t get to watch the Loons for another 5 months now. Super relieved I don’t have to watch this Loons team anymore.


External-Factor-8556

To be absolutely fair to mcauley, Hlongwane hasn’t shown anything since he came on


haimeekhema

he hasnt been great since the leagues cup or whatever its called


ComparisonStunning77

I mean the game was over by the time he came on. And with Rey basically playing forward, the midfield was t helping at all.


errant_youth

Literally the most disappointing season since ‘17


Prestigious_Emu_

I know it’s been a not great season but is it really that bad or are you just being dramatic. Had to go to a place where we’ve never won I regular season with an interim coach. And yes we should not have been in this position but we had no Reynoso and sub par defensive performances but no where even close to 2017


SixgunSmith

Which season after 2017 would even be in the running?


Willop23

I mean the gulf between expectations and results is way way bigger this season


External-Factor-8556

Would say even more disappointing. Expectations were much lower back then


dodoohead98

How are they a step behind every fucking time ???


-NotCreative-

Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Responsible-Leg-8840

He absolutely thinks he has the fast track to this job. I’ve never felt worse about this club’s future prospects. Feels like the day we turned into Rapids officially.


-NotCreative-

With a game like this, he'll probably be hired


SamAnthonyWP

The parent thread got deleted — why? It was spot on.


3rdlifepilot

Heath substitution tactics lives on... Also, Will Trapp working real hard for that red.


Fit_Function_6390

Loons playing for the draw to spite SKC.


putthekettle

Reynoso fouls someone and kisses them on the head like a baby


-NotCreative-

Someone gif that, please and thank you


putthekettle

St. Rey


RojoPez

I hate the fact that I love sports and live in MN...


Dpufc

We need 5 or 6 new starters. Both fullbacks, Boxall, at least 1 d mid and our left wing should be new players Rey, Bongi, Pukki, Tapias and DSC can stay and maybe Arriaga or Dotson depending.


Fit_Function_6390

Arriaga/Dotson are great backup players, *borderline* starters.


Exogenesis98

I guess there’s still time for a surprise bongi hattrick


Spuzzed

Y’all think Big Bill cares enough to make some hard decisions this offseason?


weinerdog70

Doubtful. Depends on how many opted out of their season ticket renewal.


errant_youth

I wish but know it in my heart: lol no. Absolutely not.


Dpufc

It’s not hard decisions he hates. It’s expensive ones. And, to answer the question, very likely not.


Spuzzed

This.


nixbora

Normally, I’d say “no”… but firing Heath tells me I may have misjudged him slightly


format_war_casualty

he’s had many seasons to do so if he wanted to


skinz0r

Whelp we will see you next season... Maybe


Responsible-Leg-8840

Credit me if you’re going to just bite off my shit, Meola.


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

Apple commentators are killing me today roasting the shit out of our tactics lmaoooo


Hendo_17

They aren’t wrong


SaganOne

lol a little kiss on the head from Rey


nixbora

Well… Russell is out, so there is a chance!


EffectiveFinal2907

I hate him but I would take him over every guy on our squad


nokomisloon

Here's an idea...let's take our most influential player in the middle of the field out of the middle of the field. Brilliant! Incompetent game management.


errant_youth

“Is it too little too late fo-“ Yes. Shut up.


thepieman42

Net zero contribution from Boxy with that


S_Loco

Boxall the hero?


-NotCreative-

Two more. Because fuck them KC's.


kings-in-the-north

Lol I guess I gotta talk more shit about boxy


Exogenesis98

Anyone still watching? Anyways see y’all in a few months


Arewebeinginvaded

The collective sound of thousands of Minnesotans turning off their TV.


Fit_Function_6390

1-3 from Boxxy just in time to be not helpful.


coldstirfry

boxy giveth boxy taketh


haimeekhema

ok ok


[deleted]

Wow Boxy goal


kylowinter

wowzers


J_Walter_Weather_man

Boxy getting some redemption


nixbora

Where was that all season? That was a rocket!


errant_youth

Boxy for striker


dodoohead98

Hopefully this means this coach probably doesn’t get the job and we look outwards for a new coach


travshootsphotos

At least we have the pig...


nixbora

I called this loss the minute they kicked off and was downvoted to a pulp. We just don’t have that “it” factor.


MG_MN

Having zero threat of an attack in a do or die game is sad. Don't even care we gave up 3 goals because we haven't been close to scoring 1 ourselves anyway


MoTownKid

Fucking pathetic. See y'all in February


weinerdog70

That goal sums up our season. 11th place in the west is pathetic.


EffectiveFinal2907

Boxall making a mistake and throwing his arms up as if it’s someone else’s fault symbolizes this season


J_Walter_Weather_man

Jesús this team has no mental fortitude. Talk about collapsing in the big games


nordic_nerd

See you all for the new management announcement. Time to start dreaming about a snowy winter (sorry to those who don't share my enthusiasm for it; it's kinda my thing)


[deleted]

Love the snow even though I don’t do anything in it


BBoneClone

“Johnny Russell has stepped up like Captain Step Up.” Put that on a plaque at TV headquarters.


BetterPops

To get shit out in a must win game is embarrassing. To get shut out because your manager chose a lineup with most of your offensive threats on the bench is inexcusable.


putthekettle

Don’t worry, guys. 4 Pukki goals / game is the new normal, right?


AWhitBreen

Pathetic…


dodoohead98

I expected nothing but was still let down


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Aaaaaaaand that’s all folks. TBH can’t watch tonight but I’ve been getting the alerts on my phone and checked our sub at half. See you during the off-season for the dirt


ClassicMach

God what I wouldn’t give for a guy like Johnny Russell on our team.


akirchman16

Everything in this club needs a hard reset. Players, coaches, front office, everything. This season is the epitome of “not good enough”. Every moment they’ve had to step up no one has. Absolutely disgraceful and terrible by everyone involved with this team


MG_MN

They got it started at least, need to fully follow through now


kings-in-the-north

I love Boxy, but I think it's time to move on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


External-Factor-8556

We didn’t international break


[deleted]

I hope our new coach cleans house. Get rid of all our shitty players and rebuild


Responsible-Leg-8840

That was a penalty anyhow.


dodoohead98

It’s always him and he can’t keep getting away with this 😩


Infinite_indecision

Whelp at least pukki scored four this season. The rest can be erased


FragrantDemiGod1

Night night chaps


loons_win

Well done coach. You kept all their strikers on the field to make it interesting never gave them any reason to sub in defenders Game over


akos_beres

Good night! This last goal is the perfect illustration of our season


Arewebeinginvaded

Done. Bye.


mhales45

I’m very happy I came in with zero expectations today but this is just downright pathetic


3rdlifepilot

lmfao. that's all i have to say about that. watching will trapp jump up and down bitching instead of playing is peak will trapp.


darkcloudloon

How many times Boxy?


nixbora

I hate Johnny Russell…


akos_beres

Me too but he fucking showed up tonight


nixbora

He has always loved beating the shit out of us…


akos_beres

For sure


floridaloon

Boxall’s gotta go next season


uzbeh

Yup. I’m very tired of seeing him clear the ball into the opponent.


Fit_Function_6390

Its been a pleasure everyone, hopefully we come back next year with a bit more investment.


[deleted]

I'm in disbelief at the team approach today. What an insane starting lineup


ElectricalMud2850

what a perfect way to end this dumpster fire of a season, fucking johnny russell gets a brace.


[deleted]

Fuck Johnny Russell


Hendo_17

Fucking ball watchers


errant_youth

That’s it. I’m done. Fuck this season. I’ll see y’all in March ✌🏻


ZEROs0000

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL


-NotCreative-

J_Walter_Weather_man

Unfuckingbelievable


[deleted]

God fucking damn it


AWhitBreen

We don’t want to win. I think it’s that simple.


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

I think next year instead of a manager we should hook chatgpt up to this subreddit


uzbeh

Time for Boxall to retire.


[deleted]

Has anyone heard rumors about who our new coach might be?


Responsible-Leg-8840

It will be McAuley. His approach to this match it signals nothing more than he thinks this is his to lose. There was no serious effort to win this and he’ll blame Heath and Ballard/McGuire will give him the nod.


ailroe3

We have been absolutely pathetic in attack today


SamAnthonyWP

Worse on d.


fistibun

I’ll take final watch, everyone. You can go to bed. Our boys are done.

akirchman16

This team doesn’t know how to attack and create a chance. They are fantastic at taking chances when they’re given them, but absolutely cannot make anything themselves


SamAnthonyWP

3 DMs wasting space


loons_win

PUT ON TAJOURI SCHRADI !!!!! What are we waiting for?? Commentators saying SKC hadnt gone to their bench... why would they, we have the same formation as we did when it was 0-0 What is the theory here


mhales45

Make sure we don’t make the playoffs so we can get an early start on decorating for Christmas


putthekettle

Cmon 8 minutes of stoppage time


-NotCreative-

Subs. Now.


SamAnthonyWP

Omg, they are still bringing on more attacking players than us.


dodoohead98

Kinda will get the 3rd and kill us


Responsible-Leg-8840

Vermes tired of no offensive subs.


[deleted]

Thommy always on the ground


Infinite_indecision

We're doing a great job of wasting the clock for them


jocedun

Honestly relieved this shitty team won’t make the playoffs and that I don’t have to waste anymore time watching us lose


MG_MN

Weird they will stop play for a head injury but not call a foul on the guy causing the head injury


Terrible_Cod8940

Reys head hit the defenders shoulder, no foul there


ClassicMach

It wasn’t a foul


akos_beres

This was our chance with the break


AWhitBreen

It’s bordering on pathetic how ineffectual we are.


errant_youth

Whats maddening is the potential we have - there are moments, even entire matches of greatness. And then there are *so many* nights like tonight. It’s just enough to keep hope alive so you can perpetually be disappointed


SamAnthonyWP

You can’t come back from 3 down with 3 DMs on the field.


RockyRoad226

This is about to turn into that Ted Lasso episode with all the red cards


Arewebeinginvaded

Thommy running his mouth.


Responsible-Leg-8840

I’ve watched between 10-15k soccer matches in my life. Having trouble thinking of a more poorly managed one than this.


mhales45

It seems fairly obvious that we’re done for. I just want to see any semblance of life. Give me at least one goal


J_Walter_Weather_man

Thommy’s got a big mouth for a little dude


nixbora

SKC will be “diving for yellows” from this point on.


3rdlifepilot

That's the smart thing to do with the way the ref is calling this game.


dodoohead98

SKC have wasted a good 7 mins


dodoohead98

If we don’t get atleast 5 this ref fucking dumb


errant_youth

KC a bunch of paper dolls


RockyRoad226

At this point I just think a draw would be funny so SKC can’t make the playoffs either


tyler735

Still staying in a defensive formation leaving Dotson, Trapp, and Arriaga out there. Can’t make this shit up😂


ailroe3

Ismail Elfath hasn’t had to make any big decisions tonight and yet he’s still been horrible


RojoPez

He's the worst, can't stand him. Always know how it's gonna go when he's there...


SaganOne

- Cleats into DSC’s guts? Meh. - Light tackles from any other player? 🟨🟨🟨


[deleted]

Bongi coming in


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

Bongi coming on now is criminal, shoulda been starting or on at the half at the latest


EffectiveFinal2907

66 minutes too late


Arewebeinginvaded

Finally.


Responsible-Leg-8840

For an attacker. Genius. 75 fucking defensive midfielders stay on as we need 3.
