What was said?

“It’s a bit of a question of mentality, like when we play away, we know that it’s going to be a fight, that the other team is going to have the ball at certain times. And I think that at Benz, we always want to dominate, dominate, dominate. Sometimes, if there is a moment in the match where the other team has the ball, you can get a little discouraged. I think we just have to apply the same mentality we have away to home games. » – Noah Cobb

“We’ve had some good results in terms of points in difficult places, in difficult conditions, and we’ve managed to find a way to take three points and then come back and get a draw. Now we need to improve our performance further and make sure we can take the three points.” –Brad Guzan

“We feel an urgency. I’m telling you, we feel an urgency and we’re putting pressure on ourselves to start picking up three points more consistently. But as it stands right now, look, the reality is, with how lenient the season is, with the number of teams in the playoffs, we’re right in the thick of it. With two wins here, we’re back up to fifth or sixth or whatever it is. So make sure you understand me, we’re not happy with it. We’re not happy with the way we’ve played, and we’re not happy with the outcome this year, but I think to decide on a decisive stretch of games before a month or two into the season, I think that would be a little bit too early.” –Dax McCarty
