Front-office people, too. Poz was the one big change under Bob that they pleaded with him not to pursue, and argued that he'd become part of the DNA of the club. Didn't matter, spoke Spanish (not...

It's pretty galling. $21M per season to get a handful of goals and assists. Even if Insigne stays healthy, I think he'll be lucky to hit double digits, as infrequently as he puts shots on target.
...

Gahd.... that's depressingly true. He was much more productive and dangerous in this league, even in his thirties. He had a bunch of assists in Miami before he went overseas as well.

Fuck Bradley,...

If they insist on using the Italians as primarily goal scorers, I'd say a 10. But ideally, they'd only really expect a ton of goal from Insigne, as Bernardeschi has not been prolific scorer now in...

This, exactly. We create nothing in the box for them to finish. Fede puts two balls into a dangerous, low area with us having at least three men deep in the box, and we get two goals out of it. I...

Yeah, I'd agree with this. Jimenez was equally a poacher, without a lot of movement or range. He was good at find space quickly and finishing accurately. Without a number 10 feeding him on the...

You're not understanding my argument. I'm saying we have to wait to judge, not that he's good.

If we wait until the end of the season to judge... well, that's what I'm suggesting. Your suggestion...

I think the statement "We have no problem getting the ball to dangerous players in good positions" is wildly inaccurate.

Until this last game, nearly all of our service had to come from either...

Great report man, thanks for that!

It's the first time he's gotten decent service since the one chance he was handed in the first game. Too early to write him off as not good enough, way too early. Wait until he starts getting...

They didn't even bring the Idol thing to a vote in the end, according to the Athletic. It will be discussed more in the fall. The consensus seemed to be the managers didn't want a change that seemed...

Charlie Sharp scored in his first start for TFC II, a nice poke into the corner off a rebound.

This and a little arrogance are his two issues; he's just not quick at all, he's lumbering. He's got great technique, real skill on the ball. But he tries to force things he shouldn't (McNaughton had...

That's fair. I think the bigger issue is when guys fuck up but then signal it's the other guys' fault somehow.

We've had a few of those and not just from younger players.

I argued when they named him that he doesn't seem the type. Wears his feelings too publicly and usually not when they're positive.

Still doesn't, not really. But none of our players do, other...

I thought he had a mixed bag. he didn't play particularly well in the first 60 mins, but his last 30 when we were playing with some desperation were great.

The one really optimistic note from...

Yeah, I'm not really convinced by Gomis. I think he's a little too young and Rosted is a little too aggressive. We ideally need a number two who can be number one when Long is out.

I don't know...

Once again, Bernardeschi was so much more effective as a wingback, concentrating on creating service for others.

I'm really not down on the performance, just the handful of small mistakes that...

I"d prefer a dangerous 10, and drop Osorio back into an 8 role. Him next to Longstaff with Flores behind them, and Insigne and a new 10 under the striker.

But practically we probably need someone...

The first goal was an uncontested shot from the very top of the box, on a hard angle into the lower corner. Johnson would have had to be 7'8" to have saved that.

Coello gave away a cheap one, and...

This is true. But Bez didn't have a string of fuck ups to wear making him trigger shy, which I guarantee you they will be.

Well, we shot ourselves in the foot again.

Good effort, Owusu and Bernardeschi both played great.

Coello and a few bad calls, and we're leaving with three.

So that entire sequence doesn't happen if the ref calls the foul against Long.

MLS in action.

Bernardeschi and Owusu saving us again.

why the fuck is coello signalling 'why?' at Gomis. That was a spectacularly stupid pass.

He should fucking sit after that.
