billikenfan05 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 George Mason’s field is in HORRIFIC shape. Looks like they haven’t watered it in weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Half hour in and we’re still at 0-0. Billikens with more of the ball. George mason with the best scoring opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremio14 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Bills dominating this game. Three clear chances to score. Just can’t finish. Super run by Novaes. Great ball hawking SLU defense. With the exception of #17, Mason gets stripped just about every time they cross midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 This broadcast is shocking. They have switched video off the action multiple times. It’s clear the broadcast team has never worked on soccer before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkMaleBillikensJersey Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 How many times are we going to dribble onto a 1v3 situation in the attacking third, only to be dispossessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should fire Kalish and hire you. It’s not like we’re playing an attacking formation. We’re trying to counter without throwing numbers forward.

PinkMaleBillikensJersey Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Why the condescension? It's happened more than a few times and we can't put anything on net.

The field they are playing on is absolute dogsh!t. You’re not going to play pretty soccer and win on that field. What we’re trying to do is have our superior athletes put their defenders on their heels on bad turf. You also have a name that deserves condescension.

PinkMaleBillikensJersey Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Lol, God forbid anyone use sarcasm. And if the field is in such bad shape, why are we keeping the ball at our feet and dribbling into triple teams. It makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just explained that. If we score on those individual forays forward then great but we’re not going to get beat on the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremio14 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Mason cross midfield basically one time in both overtimes.. Draw a lucky corner. And score off what I admit was a cracking head ball. That’s how it goes in soccer when one does not take advantage of multiple opportunities....gut wrenching.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkMaleBillikensJersey Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 You've missed my point entirely. If you're playing on a torn up field, it's significantly harder to keep the ball at your feet because a bad bounce could dispossess you. And if we had any finishing ability on wide-open chances, we would have won in regulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Kalish can replace Klein and add a finisher to this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremio14 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 A couple of folks have dogged Kristo on this forum. He may not be Vedad, but I would have loved to have had him today. Kalish absolutely needs to add a striker who can finish. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well it seems we ended as this year has been defined. Tons of offense, inability to finish more, another OT and giving up a goal on a deadball situation. But looking forward to seeing what Kalish can put together next year as he has certainly improved the play this year. Two players he brought in made a definitive impact with Klein and Boyce; Klein should be up for freshman of the year for the A10. We will miss Hein more than anyone but also Brown up top. Musts for next year: finishers. Zink and Gremio14 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead you take advantage of slips and poor footing by being as direct as possible, both with long balls through the air and by attempting more dribbles. The poor footing affects defenders more due to the fact that they have to react, whereas the offensive player presumably knows where s/he is going.
