Yep, those last 30 min were the Timbers I know and love. What a collapse. Dumb dumb of Neville to go three in the back. And let's not forget the stupid individual errors. Yeah, the ref was in over his head but we failed to kill off the match. Poor Crepeau.
Lots of guilty parties on that one - could have been a number of different players that the ball hit (not to excuse Chara, because it was stupid). I have no idea why players even bother raising their hands since it's not going to influence any decision and offside is always reviewed anyway.
Right about now if we do have to seel Evander...I'd invest the money is some solid fbs. And maybe another cb. But not sure we will get the bucks to do so.
Didn't Phil add someone to the staff after Joseph left? I know we're still not possessing the ball as much as Nville wants but we seem to be a lot crisper in transition and just general ball handling. Is the new guy having an effect? Or is Neville letting Ridgy & co have more of a say?
Whole lotta rumors prior to the start of the season. Porble is, we paid $10 ml. Is any team gonna pay that much for him? And given his uneven performance last season? And if he leaves, we will need to fill 2 DP slots?!
Purchase one as a collectible? And then if the new sponsor is like Tillamook or Dutch Bros, maybe get a second? If the new sponsor is like Dibella or Herbalife (ugh) then keep the money in the bank.
Better late than never to put up the game thread! And just in time for Asprilla's goal. It's only DCU - just like the Rapids - but I'm digging this more aggressive approach. Not 2013 Porterball but more palatable than the last several years.

Yeah, Crepeau deserved a clean sheet.
What else could he have done? He played the hand he was given. You can’t blame him for the pk. That was rookie move on charra

I was going to say old man move.
Some good, some bad. 2nd game. Learn, yell, move on and fix the problems. And everybody keep their damn arms down in the box please.
Good thing getting rid of Gio solved our late game collapse problem.
Really snatched one out of the jaws of victory there. Three CB formations are just death.
A Timbers finish if ever I saw one

Juan Miranda is out of contract in June. Unrealistic, but would fix a long-standing problem at LB.
Mosquera is off...too bad his non defense has cost us.
I think he ran out of gas. I'm hoping that was it rather than just being lazy or too nonchalant.
Yup. And Zac was out to lunch on that goal too
JDM a day late on that goal and Zac not exactly covering himself in glory.
For the love of god Neville, do you know how to kill off a match?
Nice marking Mosquera.....<eyeroll>
Fuck. Too much room out wide. Way too much room.
No fullback
Or Wing back
Crap crap. Crepeau did not deserve that. Back line left him out to dry.
That was inevitable
I for one am grateful for our GK upgrades
Crepeau proving his value already.
Not crazy about this three CB formation
Crépeau Hell YEAH!
Guys can't lose the ball in the MF like that and let them have numbers.
We still have some bad habits, truth be told.
I do hope Crepeau does better with PKs going forward....
If he keeps being a stone wall in open play I'm good.
Yeah but the pen was't his fault. We need to score again to put this one to bed. But with this ref, anything could happen.
I see no difference between scab refs and the ProRefs they replaced unfortunately...
Omg;; bad mistake
Can't be signaling for offsides when you're defending a live ball in the box. Unacceptable from DC
And everyone else . DC was just the unlucky one it hit.

Santi!!!
He's already got more goals this year than 25 games into last year.
Thank you woodwork
I gotta say, a game and a half into the season and the Timbers are moving the ball like I haven’t seen in quite awhile. They are fun to watch again.
right, where all the gio apologists, that dude was trash
I mean Mora
Time to be concerned about Evander?
I think so. I don't think he wants to be here.
Whole lotta rumors prior to the start of the season. Porble is, we paid $10 ml. Is any team gonna pay that much for him? And given his uneven performance last season? And if he leaves, we will need to fill 2 DP slots?!
And Mira?
injured foot
I haven't been keeping track. These are still replacement refs, yes?
Yep. And according to the latest news, both sides have dug in. The scabs might be calling more matches this season than anyone might have anticipated.
Too bad. These refs suck
He had a nice stop but jeez, what is it with goalies trying to dribble the ball against forwards? Please, Pick up the ball!
It's so good to have Crépeau.
Like did LAFC really neeed Lloris? Wonder what he thinks of today's snowball?
I remember a game in Colorado like that.
Lloris signed up for the LA weather, not the SLC weather 😆
Maybe he got thrown off by the orange color. lol.
Crepeau........wow
Gotta say the sponsorless kits look cool as hell. Love the attacking mindset so far but I'd like to see better command in goal.
Purchase one as a collectible? And then if the new sponsor is like Tillamook or Dutch Bros, maybe get a second? If the new sponsor is like Dibella or Herbalife (ugh) then keep the money in the bank.
Nah, I'd wear it. Sponsorless kits are cool. Def need a slingshot like you said when we get a permanent one though. Tillamook is my fave
* sponsor
Would definitely purchase
For real, if they sell them like that I'll absolutely buy one
