@lars_mm Eneli has received some much deserved praise this season. But Ojeda tonight with his best match in an RSL kit. He was everywhere, beautiful touches, shutting down the midfield with confidence tonight. He’s also overdue for a goal.

@royalriothayden And Nyeman is at MNUFC.

@royalriothayden Barajas says he's being played inside as an inverted winger and 10 FYI. https://t.co/Pwybb5etla

[Caleb Turner @calebturner23]

Fidel Barajas talks about his first impressions of #RSL, his game and how he fits in. Says he sees this as a stepping stone to get to Europe. (Part 1)

[Howie @howiesmith]

Also disagreed with Pablo pulling Luna and keeping Brody in. But a little grace on having to make that unplanned decision that early. Luna definitely not happy to be pulled.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm soft back passes have killed this team all season. Good to see the boys show heart. Unlucky on the disallowed Julio goal. But please for the love of all that is holy STOP LOSING AT HOME.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm the inability to get points at home is inexcusable. It’s not a new problem this season. The fans turn on the squad. The mistakes were bad and there were more that went unpunished. Dallas was not good tonight and to lose that match feels like a punch to the throat.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm RSL speed of play was very sluggish in the first half. Leon was crisp. Second half RSL stepped up and played quick and aggressive. Changed their mentality and changed the match.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm @kslsports Monterrey exposed RSL’s deficiencies. Namely in the pace of play on both sides of the ball. I love Luna but he looked slow tonight with the ball. The entire back line lacked pace with the ball as well.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm complete match tonight. They withstood the first ten minutes and completely dictated the 80 minutes following.

@ScottOmer13 @KIRSoccer Go back just a few decades and music was almost only a community event. It was only done live, required multiple musicians and was a special event. Individualized music is a pretty recent invention.

[Pablo Iglesias Maurer @MLSist]

Not exaggerating here - this goal, by Pablo Ruiz, is one of the best long-distance efforts in MLS history, if we're talking 50+ yards. It honestly might be the best, given the angle, fact that he hits it on the fly, upper 90 more or less. Just ridiculous.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm the xg tonight according to fotmob.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@alexmower I would suggest it had to do with GAM as well. It's worth more than actual cash in this league.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@ScottOmer13 This thread is great. But how dare you argue from a nuanced perspective? Offense AND defense? Why isn't Luna just plug and play? It works on FIFA.

[Howie @howiesmith]

This squad is a mid table team at best.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@lars_mm The first half looked pretty good. Moments available to score. 2 opportunities with wide open nets not even on frame. 2nd half was flat. LAFC just better talent 1-18. Not sure a single RSL player starts for LAFC. Hard to compete with that.

[Howie @howiesmith]

@alexmower @B_Ray44 And to this point, we have no idea what happens in training and if he can't pick it up in training, doing it in a match is unlikely.
