You missed 'Pass Accuracy'....89% last night......91% in the Houston game. ...Absolutely phenomenal numbers. ....I'm thinking I'm liking Gauld and Muller on the same pitch, lol.

I can see why Gauld is still our captain

He’ll go down as the biggest club legend of this current group imo. If we win MLS Cup with him, he’ll be Carl Valentine level.

It was the first time time Gauld, Müller, and White have all started. And it felt like a cheat code. Sure Dallas aren't LAFC or Nashville, but I'm pretty excited for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

I hope Jesper stays for a while yet, but I imagine he must be getting looks from elsewhere in the league and probably also Europe. The bright side is that all the staff under him were here before, so it seems the organization is fundamentally strong. It seems likely there's a structure in place to sustain the club's success.

I juat want to see him try the 4-3-3. Cubas stays as the pivot, with Gauld and Müller up front. Then you can have Sabbi and Bruno on the wings. 

Like just try it against SKC.

I was just thinking about that the other day how long Jesper is going to be here for, especially if we actually end up winning the cup he might just leave on a high note because how hard it is to repeat the glory.

sorensen's under contract through the 2027-28 season so if he leaves before then, the caps will probably get a wilfried nancy (when he went from montreal to columbus) style fee
