Really weird game yesterday, haven't seen them look that out of sync for awhile. These upcoming games hopefully will see them getting back to Thorns football.

To me the problems mostly had to do with:
1) Lineup -- who wasn't available and who didn't start, which made for a toothless attack
2) Substitutions -- when they were made and why
3) Set pieces -- Emslie has delivered brilliant balls that resulted in gorgeous goals twice this year, including last night
4) Natu's rough second half stretch
5) Ertz -- she's definitely a presence out there and willing to throw her body around
But, hey, on the night when the league celebrated its 1000 match, this was classic NWSL After Dark. Frustrating but fun.
