If we knew that literally everyone was going to get injured...and Niezgoda was going to start disappearing on the field...yes.
But Jebo wanted to start and get constant minutes up top. Mora won the striker competition last year hands down. Jebo then had to fight a DP striker banging in goals at a crazy effective clip for the #2 spot. It wasn't going to work.
Yeah - that was sort of my recollection. Doesn't seem imminently sustainable. So him comparatively disappearing this year is maybe not a huge surprise? The injuries suck though.
Roughly 458 minutes since the Fire scored a goal in MLS from open play 🙃
I think manager should get fired for not scoring goals than not winning. If you don't put an entertaining product no one will come and see it.
Then you should fire the sporting director first for not giving the manager adequately quality players.
Don’t think this is a problem for Red Bulls managers, no fans in the stands to see your shitty play in the first place? No pressure

one of those safety boards: Number of minutes since Timbers last scored a goal ________ And Timber Joey gets to update it minutely
Geez, the Thorns out here putting the Timbers trophy case to shame.
MLS Is Back Champions - they’ll never sing that
Copa Verde champions - they’ll never sing that
Not like that's hard to do
Dumb move to get rid of Jeremy Ebobisse.
we can’t have people scoring goals here or we have to turn in the banner

Didn’t Niezgoda have a very high conversion percentage prior to this year on an extremely low shot and touch volume, even for a striker?
Yeah, at one point he had 9 goals with 11 on-target shots, out of 14 attempts.
