It was trending toward one of those ‘same old story’ where we missed some chances and got scored on in the few chances we give up. “We’ve been talking about this for weeks in dealing with adversity. We knew we could continue to overcome these situations if we play our style. Even if it’s not always what you want as a coach to go down, this is what we needed. We needed to come through. It was an awesome, awesome feeling at the end.”

Ezana Kahsay was watching and cheering

could be a season changing 10 minutes.... this should really give the team a great deal of belief in each other....on what they can accomplish under severe adversity.

really nice to see Carlo back in the lineup and great to get David and Sammy back from yellow card accumulation

https://mlsmultiplex.com/2019/11/01/toronto-fc-vs-atlanta-united-3-things-learned-richie-laryea-x-factor/3/ In my preview of this match, I suggested Richie Laryea should have started on the right-wing in place of Tsubasa Endoh considering the former’s qualities on both sides of the ball. Even though Laryea did not start, he replaced Endoh at half-time, and his performance gave Greg Vanney plenty to ponder ahead of the MLS Cup. Laryea was also solid from a defensive standpoint. He always made sure to track back and provide cover on right flank during defensive transitions, defended the back-post well even though he does not usually excel in the air and put his body on the line when cutting out Ezequiel Barco’s pass to Josef Martinez in stoppage time.

Thank you, Seniors I hope that Skye is healthy enough to get some minutes

He did that by using two quick subs to start the second half, bringing on defender Richie Laryea for winger Tsubasa Endoh, and the aforementioned DeLeon for Nicolas Benezet, who was playing a more attacking role at the time. Both Laryea and DeLeon were incredible for the Reds down the stretch, especially defensively,

All MAC games are super important so I will get this topic started early. Every game will be a challenge for this group of Zips. Northern Illinois has scored 7 goals in their last 2 MAC games so they can put some balls into the goal. The Zips goal keeper will have to be in top form and the Zips will need to score more than one goal for a "W" The Northern Illinois Huskies are 7-7-1 and they are 2-1 in the MAC you will see that they started their year with an 0-4-1 record..... that means that they are 7-3 in their last 10 games started their year with a 2-1 loss at DePaul 2nd game was 1-0 loss at Loyola Chicago 1-1 home tie with Wisconsin-Green Bay 2-1 loss at Dayton 3-1 loss at Marquette 2-1 home win over Bradley 3-1 win on the road vs. Purdue Fort Wayne 1-0 win at home in OT over Milwaukee 2-1 win in OT at Western Illinois 2-1 loss at Illinois Chicago (UIC is good ...with their best player being Jesus "Chino" Perez 5-0 home loss to St. Mary's CA (St. Marys is 12-1 and ranked in the top 10 in the nation) 5-1 home win over Eastern Illinois 2-1 home loss to SIU-Edwardsville 4-2 win on the road at West Virginia 3-2 home win over Western Michigan

Darlington Nagbe and Atlanta United tonight vs. Richie Laryea and Toronto FC https://torontosun.com/sports/soccer/mls/buffery-torontos-richie-laryea-rises-from-the-ashes-to-become-key-player-for-reds

Jared's message is definitely "immaturity"

and a huge edge in total shots

looks Like Steve Parker's last year ...was a losing year 9-10 in 1992 other less than sterling years 96 9-9-1 2000 7-7-3 79 7-7-2 1965 4-7-0

David Egbo and Sammy Tojaga are not in the lineup due to getting their 5th yellow in the last game I have no idea why Carlo is not in the starting lineup

many quotes from SIU-E coach https://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2019-20/releases/20191025yffzqm

article has some quotes from Coach Embick...and also from Mani about Mani's comments....a very knowledgeable zips soccer fan....has been saying all year "You can't score if you don't shoot" Congratulations to Mani and David on their great goals against SIU-E and Michigan State https://www.beaconjournal.com/sports/20191025/university-of-akron-mens-soccer-zips-blank-southern-illinois-edwardsville-3-0

Western Michigan tied it at 2-2 at 65 minutes but NIU scored at 76 and held on for 3-2 win Akron is now the only team in the MAC without a loss

Wow....another goal to make it 3-0 at 89:22 Zips could be in sole possession of first place in the league after tonight Northern Illinois leads Western Michigan 2-1 on their home field at half time If NIU holds on for win, top 4 in league would be: Akron 2-0-1 2. NIU 2-1 2. SIU-E 2-1 4. WMU 1-1-1 if NIU holds on, that will make the Nov. 2 game against NIU....the biggest game of the year..... great win tonight....by the Zips..... they played without Marco Milanese.....and they still got a clean sheet way to go, ZIPS

Mr. Egbo is a goal scorer !!!

Tor at GK tonight
