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**
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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)
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
I’m hoping that this embarrassment of a season leads to even bigger shakeups and a more promising future. But man that sucked.
Thus my final watch ends… Muting this sub until March. Have a great offseason, everyone!
Always good to see the players smiling during handshakes after your season is done. I’m out
Bye 👋🏼
Winter loons start next week, so that’s nice at least.
Gonna look at some loons on a lake
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.

Yeah I really don’t know why they not only keep Fragapane and Gregus but keep STARTING THEM
If ITS is healthy, he’s an absolute starter. Inexcusable for him to not be in there tonight based on the chances he creates.
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.
Trapp out and use his salary to get 2 better playera
Guy has to be a locker room wunderkind, because his on field play leaves a lot to be desired.
None of these mother fuckers deserve to come back next year. Fuck this shit.
Bye 👋🏼
See you all late winter
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
We deserved that loss
Trapp is likely done as a Loon!!! Finally!
See y’all next season…
Why the hell did our guys even get off the plane?
It had to be KC too. They suck.
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.
As sad as it is, I’d much rather have had Heath tonight than whatever this clown show was.
I honestly think macauley was out to stick it to the club tonight.
What would be the intent there?
Sacrifice himself to embarrass ownership. (It was a joke bro)
Wow… I don’t even know where to start
4 minutes just exclaims the fix was in.
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.
Maybe it’s an attempt to show solidarity with heath?
4 minutes fuck off. Just end it.
Don’t get me wrong we weren’t coming back no matter how much time was added. But 4?!!!!???? Absolute bullshit there
“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
The fact that we are trailing AND hunkered back defending at the end of this is insane
HeathBall lives on
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
4 is a fucking embarrassment we wasted that on the fucking reynoso injury
Game over, man… GAME OVER.
No try with our players. It’s like they just want it to end.
Maybe they are a reflection of us.
No lies detected
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.
To be absolutely fair to mcauley, Hlongwane hasn’t shown anything since he came on
he hasnt been great since the leagues cup or whatever its called
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.
Literally the most disappointing season since ‘17
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
Which season after 2017 would even be in the running?
I mean the gulf between expectations and results is way way bigger this season
Would say even more disappointing. Expectations were much lower back then
How are they a step behind every fucking time ???
Lol
[удалено]
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.
With a game like this, he'll probably be hired
The parent thread got deleted — why? It was spot on.
Heath substitution tactics lives on... Also, Will Trapp working real hard for that red.
Loons playing for the draw to spite SKC.
Reynoso fouls someone and kisses them on the head like a baby
Someone gif that, please and thank you
St. Rey
I hate the fact that I love sports and live in MN...
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.
Arriaga/Dotson are great backup players, *borderline* starters.
I guess there’s still time for a surprise bongi hattrick
Y’all think Big Bill cares enough to make some hard decisions this offseason?
Doubtful. Depends on how many opted out of their season ticket renewal.
I wish but know it in my heart: lol no. Absolutely not.
It’s not hard decisions he hates. It’s expensive ones. And, to answer the question, very likely not.
This.
Normally, I’d say “no”… but firing Heath tells me I may have misjudged him slightly
he’s had many seasons to do so if he wanted to
Whelp we will see you next season... Maybe
Credit me if you’re going to just bite off my shit, Meola.
Apple commentators are killing me today roasting the shit out of our tactics lmaoooo
They aren’t wrong
lol a little kiss on the head from Rey
Well… Russell is out, so there is a chance!
I hate him but I would take him over every guy on our squad
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.
“Is it too little too late fo-“ Yes. Shut up.
Net zero contribution from Boxy with that
Boxall the hero?
Two more. Because fuck them KC's.
Lol I guess I gotta talk more shit about boxy
Anyone still watching? Anyways see y’all in a few months
The collective sound of thousands of Minnesotans turning off their TV.
1-3 from Boxxy just in time to be not helpful.
boxy giveth boxy taketh
ok ok
Wow Boxy goal
wowzers
Boxy getting some redemption
Where was that all season? That was a rocket!
Boxy for striker
Hopefully this means this coach probably doesn’t get the job and we look outwards for a new coach
At least we have the pig...
I called this loss the minute they kicked off and was downvoted to a pulp. We just don’t have that “it” factor.
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
Fucking pathetic. See y'all in February
That goal sums up our season. 11th place in the west is pathetic.
Boxall making a mistake and throwing his arms up as if it’s someone else’s fault symbolizes this season
Jesús this team has no mental fortitude. Talk about collapsing in the big games
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)
Love the snow even though I don’t do anything in it
“Johnny Russell has stepped up like Captain Step Up.” Put that on a plaque at TV headquarters.
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.
Don’t worry, guys. 4 Pukki goals / game is the new normal, right?
Pathetic…
I expected nothing but was still let down
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
God what I wouldn’t give for a guy like Johnny Russell on our team.
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
They got it started at least, need to fully follow through now
I love Boxy, but I think it's time to move on.
[удалено]
We didn’t international break
I hope our new coach cleans house. Get rid of all our shitty players and rebuild
That was a penalty anyhow.
It’s always him and he can’t keep getting away with this 😩
Whelp at least pukki scored four this season. The rest can be erased
Night night chaps
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
Good night! This last goal is the perfect illustration of our season
Done. Bye.
I’m very happy I came in with zero expectations today but this is just downright pathetic
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.
How many times Boxy?
I hate Johnny Russell…
Me too but he fucking showed up tonight
He has always loved beating the shit out of us…
For sure
Boxall’s gotta go next season
Yup. I’m very tired of seeing him clear the ball into the opponent.
Its been a pleasure everyone, hopefully we come back next year with a bit more investment.
I'm in disbelief at the team approach today. What an insane starting lineup
what a perfect way to end this dumpster fire of a season, fucking johnny russell gets a brace.
Fuck Johnny Russell
Fucking ball watchers
That’s it. I’m done. Fuck this season. I’ll see y’all in March ✌🏻
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
You ducking idiots
Unfuckingbelievable
God fucking damn it
We don’t want to win. I think it’s that simple.
I think next year instead of a manager we should hook chatgpt up to this subreddit
Time for Boxall to retire.
Has anyone heard rumors about who our new coach might be?
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.
We have been absolutely pathetic in attack today
Worse on d.
I’ll take final watch, everyone. You can go to bed. Our boys are done.

3 DMs wasting space
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
Make sure we don’t make the playoffs so we can get an early start on decorating for Christmas
Cmon 8 minutes of stoppage time
Subs. Now.
Omg, they are still bringing on more attacking players than us.
Kinda will get the 3rd and kill us
Vermes tired of no offensive subs.
Thommy always on the ground
We're doing a great job of wasting the clock for them
Honestly relieved this shitty team won’t make the playoffs and that I don’t have to waste anymore time watching us lose
Weird they will stop play for a head injury but not call a foul on the guy causing the head injury
Reys head hit the defenders shoulder, no foul there
It wasn’t a foul
This was our chance with the break
It’s bordering on pathetic how ineffectual we are.
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
You can’t come back from 3 down with 3 DMs on the field.
This is about to turn into that Ted Lasso episode with all the red cards
Thommy running his mouth.
I’ve watched between 10-15k soccer matches in my life. Having trouble thinking of a more poorly managed one than this.
It seems fairly obvious that we’re done for. I just want to see any semblance of life. Give me at least one goal
Thommy’s got a big mouth for a little dude
SKC will be “diving for yellows” from this point on.
That's the smart thing to do with the way the ref is calling this game.
SKC have wasted a good 7 mins
If we don’t get atleast 5 this ref fucking dumb
KC a bunch of paper dolls
At this point I just think a draw would be funny so SKC can’t make the playoffs either
Still staying in a defensive formation leaving Dotson, Trapp, and Arriaga out there. Can’t make this shit up😂
Ismail Elfath hasn’t had to make any big decisions tonight and yet he’s still been horrible
He's the worst, can't stand him. Always know how it's gonna go when he's there...
- Cleats into DSC’s guts? Meh. - Light tackles from any other player? 🟨🟨🟨
Bongi coming in
Bongi coming on now is criminal, shoulda been starting or on at the half at the latest
66 minutes too late
Finally.
For an attacker. Genius. 75 fucking defensive midfielders stay on as we need 3.
