Impressed by how much the guys are out there battling for each other.
No, not Rutty
The greatest Canadian prospect ever coming in. Let's see him do something big.
JMR getting some time. Time to See if any of the hype shows up.
Time to see what JMR can do in non-garbage minutes.
The lack of defensive presence from JMR is beginning to tell.
Edit - and offensive - on that Shaff run he should have been busting a gut to get forward.
Miles Robinson is what Manning thinks Omar Gonzalez is
Soteldo with 3 guys on him & JMR is just watching?
OK, I'll stop now but gosh he really has no idea of finding or creating space
Rutty looks positionally lost but there are flashes of brilliance with his touch. He is only 17. Glad he is getting a chance to improve.
Brilliant ball by Bradley a couple of minutes ago.
By the way Barco is a whiny cheating diver. Edit: damn.
Bono looked super bad there.
Shit, flukiest chip in history.
If that was Richies man he needs to start tracking back EVERY time. The Panama goal was his man too.
Rutty running everywhere…that’s about it
Jakeel must be showing some serious technical skill in training because it sure isn’t his positional play that has him at first team level.
Atlanta’s playing a high recovery press but the rest of the time is leaving the line deep enough that our speed can’t hurt them. We need to adjust, figure out where we can overload with a midfielder. Attacking Robinson’s side one on one is just a waste
of time.
we need to break away from the direct speed
game here and build up around the box patiently.
JMR looks like he is good technically, but I do not see much burst, workrate or awareness from him out wide. His best position might be as a 10.
I really really don’t see what the fuss is about JMR. Akinola, Priso, Okello, Shaff I get it. Hell even I even get it to a degree with Jayden Nelson. But I just do not understand the JMR hype.
JMR didn't move but wasn't occupying a space. He was literally on the outside of a 3 guy group & giving Soteldo no help by trying to occupy one of those 3. The thing to do there is draw a defender away through movement. Even if Soteldo drops it back, then somebody is in a different space.
JMR is playing based on where the ball is not where the spaces are & its like playing with only 10.5 people. I know he's young but this sort of thing should have been coached into him by now.
Nope, they had zero chance of winning that and wading in When three of Atlanta’s four players were attacking the ball wouldn’t have changed that. It just would’ve put him ten yards further forward when the inevitable defensive sequence started. Agree
to disagree on that one.
for as little as he saw of the ball he did okay. Achara contributed fuck all before his injury.
Atlanta has a really nice set of jerseys.
Anyways, this game was always going to be tougher against opponents who probe & figure out where there are weaknesses & a defence that can't be run through with the long ball or the one on one winger drive.
Good things for me are Lawrence in the middle & Osorio finding spaces well.
Richie is tired & Shaff has to find a different place to do his attacks.
Robinson will be in Europe next year. He is really good.
Who comes out here I wonder?
Lets try Poz soon…don’t even bother with Jozy
Great save Omar.
Yeah…good one from Omar….we look like shit right now
Bono incredibly poor distribution. Really shocking.
I'd personally take Auro out, move JMR to RB and put on Pozuelo.
Caldwell so wanted to suggest bringing on Liam Fraser there.
MB has played pretty well
That was good - JMR has had a better half.
Edit- OWCH
JMR off is a SHOT to the confidence of a 17 year old who is supposed to be a world beater and only came on 30 mins ago
