"It's humble pie, but we're willing to eat it. I think everyone knows there's still everything to play for, so we're not that down to be fair. But I think we can't just pretend like we didn't just lose 4-0. We got to recognise that and understand how we can grow from that and learn from it and keep moving forward."
"A lot of guys that were on the field weren't a part of it last year. So for guys that were a part of it, understand the importance of how you rebound from a tough night. Help to educate some of our newer faces. But it's a new year, we should have every reason to be confident, to go in front of our home fans and go perform again."
FC Cincinnati face a decisive Game Three against Columbus Crew after taking a 1-0 lead in the series and then losing Game Two 4-0 at Lower.com Field. Max Arfsten scored for Columbus before Yuya Kubo received a 38th-minute red card, and Cincinnati could not recover. Miles Robinson said players would not feel sorry for themselves, called the result 'humble pie', and stressed learning and growth. Pat Noonan reminded veterans of the 2024 exit, urged experienced players to educate newer faces, and encouraged confidence at home. Cincinnati aim to make amends and apply lessons in the winner-takes-all match.
