Should really be 4-0. We gotta be clinical, because this officiating isn't going to be helpful.

David's miss was maybe a 33% chance. Ditto for the Larin-Laryea thing. I think a 1 goal lead is a fair reflection of play.

Invisible Oso needs to come off right now!

For this time, you are 100% right.  Good in possession, but he just isn't closing anyone down, making anything happen or opening the game up.  He's just jogging around and around.  This is not his kinda game.

Stache 44 touches vs 16 for Osorio after 45.  Stache is running the midfield alone.

Kone for Oso at 60, once Oso is gassed. Millar for Shaff a bit later?

I like Millar but I am not sure you mess with Shaff tonight until he looks gassed.  Dude is balling.  Maybe if we decide to bunker for the last 10 minutes (especially if we get another one) but I don’t know.

Shaff needs to hit the leg weights during the off-season. He’s being picked on but he’s falling over quite easily. 

[Cadeau]

Johnston is having a good one.

He’s on a yellow and getting into it every other play. He’s been our best player, but this just feels like a game they’ll hit him with a red. 

[Corazon]

Eustaquio had a few missed passes early on but has been exceptional since.  Backline been great.  Both CB’s were solid and both Davies and Johnston have been great.  Shaffelburg of course has been great as well.

We could be up 3 or 4 nil for Christ sake.  

Literally Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez would be having a freaking field day with these chances. It's unbelievable.

Well that was chaos. I assume Venezuela can't keep their pace up for 90, right... right?!

I don't know if Stache, David, Johnston can keep this up either.  They're doing a lot out there.

This is not his friggin level. The only reason he looked ok against Chile was because they were down a man against an aging side. Passenger Oso can’t compete on a level playing field.

Oso is an absolute pylon!!!

[Miche]

Davies having a great game so far as well. Often he tries to do too much, but he's taking possession just beating one to create some space and then finds a man.

We get it.  Any other observations?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on any non-Osorio players in this game.

Did you just respond to the same Osorio post twice to make it seem like there’s a larger group of you out here?

[xabuep2]

I'm biting my nails: what a great game!!🫣

Everyone else has pulled their weight. Shaffelburg is finally playing with his head up and not sporadic. Very nice to see his growth. Johnston does need to be careful cause Soteldo is starting to cook.

Just like a broken clock is right twice a day, this is Anthony7's moment.

[74 Whitecap]

Looks like they switched Sateldo to the right to get him away from Johnston
