8W-6D-6L (30pts): That's what we need in the last 20 games to reach the historic 44 pt playoff line of the Western Conference. Ain't no way! #AustinFC

I'm so excited for the team with this massive change. I think many other coaches could do wonders with our talent and now we get the chance to find the right one. Nico was a horrible choice and it was plain as day from the start.

Still don't expect Nico to be fired even if we lose to STL next weekend. Not until we cannot make the playoffs. #AustinFC

Vibes are all off in Miami. #AustinFC

Houston is a must win game this weekend given their position at 9th. The gap starts to widen quite a bit with a loss. Looking forward to getting our starters back. #AustinFC

Nico won't be fired from this SJ loss. Rodo and the club do not seem to make decisions like that. The performance standard has been set and Nico will know when he does not meet it. #AustinFC

I was already feeling nervous about Open Cup so this just confirmed why. We were schooled by Louisville and deserved every bit of that loss. Shame on the players looking like they have nothing to prove. Glad that's over with. #AustinFC

I believe Austin already has the players to be a top team in MLS. Can Nico sort it out before it's too late?

I'm in need of a convincing win against the Galaxy today. Nothing else will do. #AustinFC

There is within me a toxic desire to want #AustinFC to fail fast this season so that whatever is wrong is fixed faster and not given another year to find out.

These bad performances will start to get to the players and staff mentally if it hasn't already. The honeymoon is over and I'm hoping the serious conversations are going to start. #AustinFC

Players have something to be proud of tonight. They showed up and played their best game of the season against the top team in MLS. Defended well and created many more chances that were asking to be put away. I'll take this as our new level of expectation. #AustinFC

Is this like the rivalry weekend in MLS? Is this a coincidence? Canada v Canada, Florida v Florida, Texas v Texas, Ohio v Ohio, NY v NY

It's hard to believe what I'm about to say, but this Austin FC team has beaten LAFC, San Diego FC, and LA Galaxy this season.

The timing of this rumor is unfortunate. It can't feel good hearing fans cheering for your potential departure. #AustinFC

Okay one compliment I have for Austin FC is how good they are at neutralizing opponents. There have been very few games this year when I think the other team dominated us. Atlanta didn't deserve the tie.

This Austin FC team continues to look like they've never played together before. No creativity. No cohesion. No style. No fun.

Looking forward to see Rubio as the 10 and more of Duber. Good lineup #AustinFC

“I am an optimist, a person who believes everything in life happens for a reason, and this defeat happened for a reason as did the one in Houston, and I believe that team [will] forge themselves suffering and experiencing the worst.” Oh man. When your coach sounds like this, he's in over his head.

What are at now? On pace for $1.4M spent per goal by the end of the season

All of our problems are on clear display tonight. Can't progress through the center. Poor crossing. Poor finishing. Disconnected. And now we're defending like we're afraid of some bigger guys. #AustinFC

I'm really worried that the Uzuni/Vazquez/Bukari combination is no good but we are stuck with it for years. #AustinFC

Thoughts: - We have a good defense but we can't rely on them to win us games - Owen (still good) is not playing the role we need as an attacking midfielder - We lack the ability to build up in the attack and get guys forward together. That's on the coach #AustinFC

$30 million attack is never the headline for us. Great defensive performance though #AustinFC

We desperately need a playmaker who can provide service to our attacking 3 up front #AustinFC

Kind of annoying they've muted the crowd noise on Apple TV #AustinFC

Uzuni goal today. I feel it! #AustinFC

Worried that we're set up to defend all game again. #AustinFC

No Bukari or Obrian to start 😬

A win and we're in 3rd place; a loss and we fall to 10th. #AustinFC

This game will be a good test of where we stand

I'm just putting it out there Rodo... #AustinFC

There are young #AustinFC fans today who will be well into adulthood before they realize the phrase isn’t “Hines-Ike is 20/20.”

Not liking Bukari on the left again after seeing how many crosses he passed up last time.

Can't wait to see more of Sabovic today. #AustinFC

Owen Wolff impressed in that first game.

And it's Bukari!!! Let's go. He's wanted this badly. #AustinFC

#AustinFC already look like a stronger more physical team

Hoping to see the Austin FC fan base on here today! Listos! #MLS #AustinFC

It really feels like the nightmare for Man United is only just beginning.

Garnacho is everything but the final product
