HEAR FROM HEAD COACH DAVE DIIANNI

We turned the ball over quite a bit, within the first half specifically. Although it obtained higher within the second half, it was nonetheless a theme. Whenever you play a workforce that performs with two attacking midfielders and two forwards, and also you give the ball away quite a bit within the center on one contact balls, you will battle. However I believed we performed fairly exhausting within the second half. I believed we dedicated numbers ahead. We had been higher with the ball. Simply not a lot high quality for us proper now within the field. Actually, we’re simply lacking an excessive amount of expertise on the sidelines proper now.”
