A Kling appreciation post. Two or three seasons ago I believed she'd lost too much pace and endurance to keep playing as starter but wow, has she ever rebooted and reengineered herself and her game. The fire and leadership never wavered but I just don't think Thorns are the Thorns without her on the pitch. All respect.

I thought she had some rough moments today, but overall she's kept things from getting much worse for the Thorns.

I don't know what the deal is with our fullbacks, but imo they're getting too far upfield. Not only is our 6 and defensive line exposed because the Sinc/Dunn duo in midfield, but our two CB's are often exposed and having to do way more 1v.1's because the fullbacks just often aren't there. It's so obvious! Kuikka is fast and even she isn't making it back. It seems like a coaching issue...

I’m not a fan of whatever strategy the new coach is using for game management. We have season tickets and it’s just been off since preseason started. Everything is just a step slow, a yard behind, etc.
