I suspect we have several strong personalities who just don't respect anyone's opinion but their own, not a bunch of guys fighting for each other.
I think Richie and Delgado are both great players, but the former shouldn't have been talking about his Euro ambitions publicly and trying to start fights after every on-field conflict, and the latter shouldn't mope and bitch whenever something goes badly in a game.
Mavinga clearly struggled in other parts of his career with his mental health and staying positive. He's a great defender by MLS standards... when he's positive and fierce. Lawrence took on his own teammate, Altidore, during a confrontation with a player from the other team, which whether Jozy was right or not is just not on. Jozy, as we know, thinks a great deal of his own opinion.
No one, it seems, has ever liked MB very much. They respect his skill but I don't think they follow him.
We have a lot of very skilled headcases. When your most inspiring player is Jonathan Osorio, who is 10% more testosterone from being Roy Kent-grim and never smiles, it's hard to see where the leadership is coming. Add in Pozuelo who always seems like a 'don't make waves' guy and Soteldo, who seems to think everything is everyone else's fault whether playing for us or Venezuela....
Seriously. We have serious personality problems.
