Zog reminds me of Curcic the amount of times he runs straight into a bunch of opposition players.

I think the stadium announcer had a tricky time with Gabby's name there.
In US they would shorten it to something like Aboner.

It's like he has no idea what to do with his feet when the ball arrives. He is the biggest concern so far of the players in the Lambert era in my opinion.

Playing some nice stuff and looking comfortable although from what I gather this is a fair bit away from Chicago's strongest 11.

Not our starting XI either mind you. And we should be better than them anyway, but it's the intent to knock it about that is most pleasing. Barely a long punt in sight.

Hi mate.

Dont forget Chicago, whatever their quality (and theyre one of the better MLS teams) are up and running in their season and we're still rusty.
Not only rusty but adapting to a new management team and philosophy.

I like the look of the ground, looks like a proper football ground. Not keen on the drum from their fans but at least they seem to have a group of fans trying to 'drum' up some noise.

I'm sorry but N'Zog looks terrible. I want him to do well but he is struggling.

Happy with that, played some nice stuff. Apart from Zog who looked pretty crap.

In fairness, MLS has come a long way. Every team needs to have their own ground and all of them look like proper grounds. The supporters are really involved in that, at least they were in Toronto, but I believe they are also elsewhere. The fans make a lot of noise and again speaking for Toronto they are very passionate despite the team being utterly gash.
