Post-slab pint: Timbers 2-1 LAFC
Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to the first installment of the post-slab pint, where I will be sitting down after every Portland Timbers game (pint in-hand) to talk about three things I liked and three things I didn’t like about the performance.
So without further ado, here’s what I liked:
The Timbers have taken 13 points out of a possible 15 since the 3-1 defeat in Austin just one month ago. I have to admit, I did not expect the Timbers to respond this well to the soul-crushing run of results from late July to mid-August. However, three consecutive shutout road wins, and a couple of gritty performances against Colorado and LAFC at Providence Park have flipped the season on its head.
