Dude… musically, arguable thanks to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.

Socially, Bakersfield is the armpit of the western hemisphere. Massive air pollution, acres of fruit-picking migrant labourers with no work protections and often illegal, high crime, gangs, meth.

Nightmare of a town. I started a series based there but have never published the first one as it was too weirdly a mixture of black comedy and utter bleakness.

I could be wrong but I didn't think loaned out players were allowed to play against the team they were loaned from. We had that come up when we loaned Fraser to Columbus didn't we?

I think that's something written into the loan contract. Certainly that's the common practice elsewhere, but MLS is backwards in so many areas. Will be interesting to see if this is one.

Nashville flew home today...didn't get back into town until late this afternoon

In essence, instead of booking a red eye charter & sleeping on the plane overnight, Nasvhille slept in, recovered that day but lost a day of training.

Not sure if that's good or bad - we tend to fly the overnight & get home.

Should be very interesting. Pretty much all of Richie’s selfishness was to our great benefit… so, not sure if it was selfishness or just smart and necessary. Richie is probably a better winger than a RB. I suspect that if Bernadeschi has the option to go to Richie outside he won’t avoid it. It might take a little time though.

There are probably goals awaiting Bernadeschi if Layrea can do his thing deep on the right and in.

When Insigne started, Criscito turned into an overlapping FB who allowed Insigne to drop deeper & go inside & find space.

The same will happen with Laryea (with the exception of Richie being not as positionally rigorous as Criscito which will mean Bernadeschi will be coming back a bit more).

If Richie doesn't pass to the available man, he will get told off as quickly as Nelson.

If you listen to the BB's Training Sound Presser yesterday...
Not so sure the same will happen with Laryea yet; I agree it should though, eventually.
Got a vibe; hints?
With MAK, expected Fede at CF and JJ at RW.
If MAK does not play...
Fede as a CMID 10/SS?
If Laryea ready, then at RW?
AA at CF with JJ on the bench; half match, message sending?
JMR at RB?

Some player tinkering?

I think they start JJ, Bob sent his message to him publicly and now the pressure is on to perform. I'm sure he was feeling it already with 7 games and no goals, no better way to get in your own head so hopefully he can handle it. Plus he has been pulled off around the 60-70 min mark in the last 3 games. I can't see Bob saying you need to go perform and then sitting him to start the game...
Plus it's not like Ayo has shown anything much better than JJ, his pace, movement and everything just seems off..I don't know what it is. People saying he looks out of shape and tired when coming onto the field, could also be his contract and lack of production is weighing on him mentally too...

We need badly 3 points today, because rebuilding year or not, the clock is ticking.
IMO this year will not be a wash only if we make the playoffs, and go out not earlier than the 2nd round.

it was charitable; he qualified it with "he has other areas he needs to improve" or something like that.

Jayden Nelson might be the most physically gifted non-DP player on the team. There is 100% a player there, but at this point to compare him currently to MAK or any above average midfielder in MLS is just propaganda.

Nelson is tactically clueless.

On the counter he keeps dropping back with the expectation people will give him the ball. He should be sprinting as far up the field as he can get and riding the line to open up space for his teammates.

With only 10 games after this one - a tie (which is by no means a sure thing tonight), leaves us needing about 24 of the 30 points remaining, to have any chance of getting in the playoffs - winning 8/10 seems extremely unlikely (including 5 road games). This is simply too late in my opinion - would have loved to have this lineup plus MAK from the beginning but we all knew the first half of this season was a throwaway frankly. The issue will be whether Oso leaves and then another hole pops open for early 2023 — plus a Lareya sized hole may appear next summer potentially too.

Still missing about two in the mid and two in the back and a goalie to start next season - we are about 2/3 of the way to a really solid lineup and maybe a bit closer if Oso and Lareya are with us full time next year.

They're not supposed to. It's only supposed to be the body parts that can legally play a ball.

If Nashville had proper camera angles, it would've been even more obvious. Why does Nashville not have a camera on the goalline side
