Alright @abooker17.bsky.social & @adam-susman.bsky.social, what do the Timbers need, a new forward and some position upgrades? A new manager with actual tactics and a style? Something else? All of the above? It feels like we keep having the same problems at the end of the year.

Good breakdown by Sus. Give it a listen.
A first in club MLS history, the Timbers conceded more home goals than they scored this season.

The Timbers have been so poor offensively the second half of the season that I am exhausted watching them. I don't know if a new coach would do better or if we need new players but something needs to change. I'm not surprised they haven't sold out season tickets for years.

I've started to watch Invasion on Apple and wow, someone really dropped the ball on the night and low light scenes. The audience actually needs to see what is going on, otherwise it's an audio book. Sheesh.

Alright @adam-susman.bsky.social and @abooker17.bsky.social, can you tell me why the Timbers are so damn bad after a break? It feels like they rarely play well with a week or more off. Is that a coach or a player thing? DDC was very ineffective, giving up the ball constantly. Toronto 🤦‍♂️

It's been a slog in May for the Portland Timbers but they're still 4th in the conference.

Their defense has been the difference.

The Timbers are looking decent and the chemistry between Geura and Lassiter was surprising. Hopefully Ari can get one in during the 2nd half.

It's been an interesting May so far. The Timbers are still in the top 4, will they hold on to their spot?

The Timbers didn't take this Open Cup game seriously enough and barely escaped with the win. They were very lucky. I hope they don't do that again.
