If last week's 3-0 demolition of Orlando made any of you think the Timbers are a perfect team, this weekend's 2-1 loss to San Jose will have shown you otherwise. We're a good team, yes, but perfect? Far from it.
1) One of the team's flaws? A worrisome inability to handle high pressure. From the first minute of Saturday's game, San Jose was pressuring the ball way up the field and our back line did not respond well at all. There were multiple giveaways from multiple players, and in the 16th minute one of those miscues was turned into a San Jose goal.
