The one where this season has been a bunch of baloney but last night we did it for Macaroni Tony

Five Takes On The Five Stripes

On this episode we discuss...

💔Macaroni Tony

🍾Celebrating but not popping bottles

🖐️ Takes

🤞It's the hope that kills you

1: We needed help and we got it from absolutely everywhere. That’s not to say we didn’t also put together a performance we would have liked to have seen all year. This was better but hopefully it doesn’t wash away the fact that celebrating sneaking into a wild card spot like we’ve won a cup isn’t what this club is about.

2: Our 40 year old wall had some excellent saves and sat an Orlando defender down. Exercise the option. If the team had been better this season he would’ve been up for GK of the year.

3: Unfortunately having the price tag that Alexey has, coupled with the relatively minimal impact he’s had in open play, mean’s he’s got to bury that pen and he hit it far too casually. If you’re not pulling the strings you gotta score in those moments and it’s all the more glaring when you don’t.

4: This was one of Barto’s better games. He seemed much more calm and composed on the ball. No glaring mistakes from him and he played more of that key role of intercepting and cutting off passes and connecting our own attack from back to front. Another one of those “where has this been” type of performances.

5: Conflicted. That’s how maybe a lot of 17’s feel about this match and locking up the wild card spot. It may feel like some of these players don’t deserve it, but there are some that do and Rob definitely does. We can be happy for them.
