One other thing , we have relied heavily on Stuver playing above his career type. He's reverting hard to his mean. Unless Druissi and Djitte can start throwing in goals quickly, it's going to get worse.

Ill push back on that. Other than the giveaway vs Houston, which is 100% on him, in the last few matches what saves has Stuver not made that he should have?

The other Houston goal was a rebound where he made a big first save and the defense couldn't clear, Seattle was the Ruidiaz wonder goal, one from Dallas was a nice shot through traffic, and the other was a giveaway in midfield that led to an easy finish from 6 yards off a cross.

Djitte is expected to land in Austin tonight per twitter.

Well said!

Now let's start attacking and scoring goals. Hope he is ready to play right away.

He's got a 5 day quarantine per MLS rules and he hasn't played in several months so I don't know that he'll be available right away. Best guess would be maybe on the 18th vs Vancouver or the 21st vs Portland.

I only got to watch the first half due to the late start. But another stinker. I can't stand watching Pocettino whiff on goals anymore. He had a free header that he could not even manage to put on frame much less score what should have been an easy goal.

And it looks like our new DP suffered a major knee injury (no foul)

He walked off the field so really hoping it wasn't as bad as it looked.

And I'm not one to complain about officiating, it's part of the game and MLS isn't known for great refereeing. But the guy last night was flat out garbage across the board.

On the play where Cascante was sent off the attacker looked to be offside, the above play wasn't even reviewed and is at minimum a caution if not a straight red, he blew the whistle before a corner at the end of the match, he ejected what people think was Arnaud (assistant coach) at the whistle with a smirk on his face, and was just completely inconsistent across the board.

That said, even with the ejection we were more solid than I expected, we had them on their heels a lot of the second half. Hopeful for a good run with a streak of home matches coming up and Djitte debuting soon.

Agreed on the officiating and that we looked somewhat dangerous. Gotta close though. Diego can't keep hitting posts and Poch can't send open headers wide

Ring: "I know the league likes to put fines on speaking about referee decisions but I don't give a shit about that right now. I think it needs to be said." #AustinFC https://t.co/LkrtCX2gMi

Some good news from Chris Bils, Driussi suffered a right lower leg contusion and Kolmanic has a mild left ankle sprain. Both looked like they could have been a whole lot worse.

Great news

Another embarrassing night.

Brutal

14 goals in 19 matches. Ugh.

Yeah, things are rough for the boys, but all this here and now will make what happens later all the more sweet.

You Chicken Littles can find another team to root for if it's too much for you to take.

Our crest is a tree. Do trees start out looking all glorious and beautiful? No. They start as a small seed. Everything is progressing naturally...

At least you can't be relegated

I've got 3 seats in 317 for the match tomorrow night that I can't use if anyone wants to go, face is $75 with a $20 food credit included. DM me if interested.

This is a refreshing change of pace, Dominguez going down when he was actually fouled for a penalty then a gorgeous header for ***undez. And now make it 3 as Driussi opens his MLS account with a great finish after a Portland defender saved the first attempt.

I wonder if players are in more comfortable positions. Driussi as an attacking midfielder and Ring is playing up a lot too. In no way do I expect this every week, but I am hopeful we can find a lineup that actually suits our players

Great win tonight. Much needed. Hopefully we can maintain a bit higher level of performance.

GREAT chemistry between Driussi & Ring!!! Hopefully the start of a beautifully friendship

Very nice

Can we stop calling Stuver's name like he's an above average keeper? Good lord less than 6 minutes in and he gives up this trash at home.

This definitely isn't how Austin FC wanted this game to start 😬@FCDallas strikes first! pic.twitter.com/dpXp8JIVGD

The equalizer! Yes!

Absolute piss poor defending. 2 goals allowed in 3 minutes.

And another one.

Bad roster building. Completely inexperienced head coach. Results. One of the worst teams in the MLS.

National tv embarrassment

No bueno, verde... No bueno.

Oof.

You know what’s an underrated hallmark of a great #WPIOOTBGW? When it’s not shown live on TV because the broadcast is too busy showing a replay of the previous play. They figured nothing big could happen on a goal kick. How could it? Well, meet Austin FC pic.twitter.com/U2q6RwcNbV
