My still favourite thread of all time was the 100 pages on De Rosario which included a section where we discussed if Earl Cochrane should have received a trial request from Celtic in his fax machine,...

McDreamy was a good pickup.

Am I nuts for thinking the obvious thing to do is play 2 up top? Jimenez isn’t great at holding up the ball and JP is actually decent at it

I don’t think anyone has any illusions here about how bad Bono is with the ball at his feet.

Now that said, it was a fine save. That wasn’t a regular curling shot, he had all sorts of movement on...

I was going to write exactly that. This is a pretty lazy use of a decent prospect

To me, it makes more sense to go out and get a true leader in the form of a CB and someone with a little more runway in their career.

Could he be useful? Sure. Is it a long run solution? No....

Things that were said about MAK? Not that I necessarily think Rothrock is a diamond in the rough but NA is different and guys can still catch on later.

Heck, I feel like the Italians are still...

To me, and this is my hot take… Petrasso > Shaf at fullback as the former can actually make a progressive pass out of the back. Shaffleburg gets skidish in that spot when he gets pressed and often...

Agreed, I thought Rothrock looked interesting.

Now that said, we seriously have to trim the hedges here and figure out which prospects we are going to stick with. There’s simply not enough room...

Thought this was interesting. I would say O’Neill has been the Cb that has contributed the most from a defending perspective. However, LM...

Maybe he means the guys that are injured. Zing!

But on the flip side, it was an expansion team with no baggage / legacy contracts.

Think it should be clear to people we are is a temporary phase and we’re not going to continue fielding a huge...

So supposedly Hasal broke a finger or two and the refs were putting that up as an excuse. That’s a joke if I ever heard one.

The force of the ball alone can easy break or dislocate a finger....

Pro should have people fined and suspended for shit like this. You can’t get the call right with the benefit of a video reply? What hope is there?

Tough to take this league seriously at times

earth to Nelson, if your team loses possession in the defensive third and you’re short men back, you fucking run back and help and not jog in circles

WTF is that. It’s a clear goal!

I know we have a bunch of green 12 year olds on the bench and this is a tie game with the possibility of points but I would absolutely yank of few of these guys to let them know playing time is not a...

Why not play Perruzza centrally? Jimenez just drifts back to pickup the ball anyway.

The issue with the backline is you have O’Neill who is great without the ball but with it he’s got one foot, below average passing ability, and he’s on the wrong side. Plus everyone is incentivized...

It’s a game so dire, everyone is a loser, even those watching

Random thoughts…

Kerr is out of position yes but I have to shake my head at some of his play. Takes 3-4 touches just to get comfortable each time, never looks to pass progressively, always going...

This team needs guys to crash the box. How are we ever going to get a scoring chance if nobody is in position to take advantage?

Probably old news but saw this pop up in my feed:

This is a thing that is said in MLS circles to make the Dallas, SJ, and RSL types believe they actually have a chance to be competitive.

A while back, someone ran a regression model against...

I’m no fan of Manning but otherwise agree completely with this post. People are pining for a short term fix that if it didn’t work would set us back even further.

It’s really tough to scout and...
