Look, Vassilev is good, but holy shit Iloski is exactly what we have needed on the wing

u/BigMACfive 3d ago
Completely agree. I love Indy, but Iloski.... man, he's so good.

u/SelfServeSporstwash 3d ago
When Indy is back from his concussion he’s going to be great to have come on to run at tired teams

u/wunderboy 3d ago
Why not both? This team has real depth.
6
u/SelfServeSporstwash 3d ago
Sullivan is just flat out a better option. Sullivan and Iloski should be the locked in starters on the wings. Vassilev as a bench option or as a rotational piece is crazy good depth

Look, I understand people are extremely frustrated that Damiani doesn’t score goals. But my god, his play creating opportunity after opportunity for others in this game has been world fucking class.

I’m a big Damiani fan, it would be different if Tai wasn’t in the golden boot race but I’m a believer Damiani is a part of that. He shouldn’t have taken that penalty last week though

u/PhillyDaycare 3d ago
he also gets fouled so many times with no help from the refs, so that obviously doesn’t help his case

Cavan Sullivan almost just WORKED one of the best defenders in mls. That’s extremely impressive from him.

That was a piss poor dive and the linesman still bought it

u/BigMACfive 3d ago
Idk how you could pissible raise the flag for that. He was like 3 feet away and had a perfect view of it. If anything, that should be a yellow for simulation.

I just like that everyone contributes. They contribute defensively, they make runs, see each other, they pounce on 50/50s. I am quite gruntled.

u/Sechzehn6861 3d ago
Iloski is such a good piece to have, man. He's so fucking good. We actually signed a difference maker. Tears in my eyes 🥲

I just realized, who are they advertising to? You can’t watch anything unless you have the pass, so why advertise it during games? I get it for the radio audio, since there are pure radio listeners.

How can the linesman be standing less than 5 yards away and still mess up the call

u/BigMACfive 3d ago
What an outrageous dive. That's fucking incredible that the linejudge would fall for that. He was 3 feet away and easily should have seen the flop.

I for one was skeptical of the Illoski fit with our two forward system. His ability to play beneath the forwards as a 10 of sorts is a welcome surprise - Bc found a way to make it all work

Quinn is looking more aggressive which is great. He's also doing some of his bad decision making and inability to use finesse which is less great

I'm pretty sure it's statistically impossible for Chicago to commit a foul in this refs mind.

It’s wild that this is a valid thing to say about Donovan. For years you could always say “at least he hustles”, and now you can’t even say that for him

Not to be an alarmist, but he appears to have jacked up his right knee in warmup. Goalie coach ran into the locker room to get the physio team. They working on him now.
Edit: they just carried him off
