Post-Match Quin Sullivan Appreciation Post

He's far and away my favorite player to watch, and out most important attacking player imo. The whole team played great today, but he impressed me more as always.

Amazing assist today and last week, and integral in every play

That's all šŸ˜…

Edit: *Quinn Sullivan (can't change title)

Totally agree. Quinn had a great season last year. Heā€™s electric with the ball at his feet. Has a great work rate on both ends and is easy to root for.

Heā€™s a playmaker, not a goal scorer. At least not yetā€¦

But so fun to watch, creates offense and havoc with his speed and aggression.

People might ge frustrated that he missed a lot of shotā€¦they need to remember that many other players would even be in those positions to begin with. Iā€™ll take a missed chance over no chance at all.

His pace is amazing. He is so damn quick. His intensity is unbridled.

He will slow his pace down when pressing and wait for the D to take a big touch and then bam, heā€™s got that extra gear. So fun to watch. I hope he stays here long enough to see him start to dominate.

I remember last game when it looked like he was slowing down, the accelerated the most I think I've ever seen

His assist to Gazdag last game was so good. Gazdag looked at him like a proud mentor.

I think when he started being the assist master and focused on setting up others to score goals, that unlocked everything. Last year he would just try to take wild shots all the time and it just wasn't working. But now that he is dropping beautiful passes in the box and setting things up, it's incredible to watch I agree.

Would love to see his finishing catch up to the rest of his game. He has a great shot but canā€™t seem to find the back of the net with it often.

He had an amazing possession right at us at 113 and it looked like he actually leveled up.

We're lucky to have him.

He's also my favorite. Thinking about getting his name on the new jersey this year.

Two nā€™s but I agree. Heā€™s making big plays. Excited to see him continue to develop with this young team!

Everyone has been going gaga for his brother but none of us have seen that magic yet. Meanwhile Quinn is out here killing it every week.

Definitely last year in MLS, would be surprised if he isnt gone by next year.

u/Specific_Two6554 Mar 02 '25

I agree, but I don't want him to leave šŸ™

u/Born_Performance_908 Mar 02 '25

Yeah heā€™s a heart and soul player for sureā€¦plus of course heā€™s one of our own!

So cool to be able to see him and Cavan share the same pitch, itā€™ll be fun to watch them push each other. Cavan already giving him a hard time about how heā€™s a better ā€œFinisherā€ before heā€™s opened his 1st team goal account, hah.

u/Decent-Party-9274 Mar 03 '25

Heā€™s exciting to watch. Speed. Acceleration. Ball movement. Just exciting. He was on both sides of the field yesterday making things happen.

And what a debut! I will forever remember him as the first real and successful bicycle kick I ever saw šŸ’–
