KC Current Thoughts: Debinha, Croix, & Houston's Ploy

So we're gonna start off this episode with the state of the Current, and the state of our Current is a tale of two halves.

Yesterday's game against the Houston Dash was exactly that.

We started off aggressive in the first half.

We were solid in terms of deciding when to press against Houston.

We controlled possession.

We were able to be compact defensively.

It felt as though times when Houston was attacking, all of our players got behind the ball.

We were very selfless.

We were disciplined.

Uh, Gabby Robinson, Eball, they each had great defensive plays.

And we had an amazing score on a counterattack play from Debinha.

So all things in that first half were looking up for a team that has struggled so much on the road.

But what happened after that first half? Well, Tyler, I'm gonna tell you what happened in that second half.

We had less possession.

We were content with giving Houston as much possession as they wanted.

And we gave up the game-tying goal, um, which probably about 10 minutes before that goal was given up, we really had the posture of we're just gonna park the bus and sit behind the ball, but not be as compact as we were-
