bay struggle ball was imminent, but their hustle shook me. this is probably the first time bay has given us a true NWSL After Dark match. looked to be a very dominant game from denver scoring 2 goals first and bay, with some powers and wills that be, came through and pushed to take a point back. I think bay could’ve won this game if Moreau stayed on her line instead of dropping down to silky - she was also facing her teammates too!! I’m still mad about that tbh bc Denver’s goal could’ve been called for offsides easily. Other noteworthy things: - cometti clutch save after silky’s injury - bring back huff into midfield. change the bay formation to a single pivot with Hutton as the single DM and put fuller and huff as CMs/CAMs. I think the double pivot with Hutton and bebar constantly forces bay to play from the back too much and quickly loses momentum. Need emma coates and her staff to really think that possession-based football shouldn’t always be the focus and can be totally pointless if we can’t score goals. - silky puts her heart and body on the line every game. so much tape on her body 😩 - I think Rudy will be traded/off the team by the end of the season. After she subbed out, bay slowly played better. I also think there’s a lot of miscommunication between her and the rest of the players which sucks. But she’s been severely underwhelming this season and is not worth the price tag bay got her for (thanks lucy rushton 🙄) Yes I’m very critical of my home team bc a lot of the time they’re super unserious with the way they play. I want to see more of this kind of fight and spirit like we saw from both goals (and silky and cometti) every game from bay. POTM to taylor huff for the assist (back heel to hutton, though a bit messy!) and the late goal equalizer. should be evident that she needs to be back on the midfield instead of wing. (screenshot of my comment about huff minutes before she scored. Let’s fucking go)
