I think I understand our (how many, now, three?) managers use of him as a 6 but he’s not naturally a 6. He’s still learning the position and he doesn’t really have the right tools for it. But then...

Kerr showed real promise as a winger. Our left wings should be Insigne, Shaffelburg, Kerr.

The guy scores wherever he goes (that isn’t MLS)… okay, not huge numbers but he seems to be consistent in the three other leagues he’s played in.

Man, I really don’t want to loose to Van but all things considered that seems the likely outcome of this one.

Hassan is playing as a ten, an attacking mid, in the youth video posted here.

edit: a bit on the wing too it seems….

Have we seen Bernie up top with us at all? I feel like it’s been only an unsuccessful half, at most.

I’ve not been much of an O’Neil fan but in the matches I’ve seen this season he hasn’t been a problem. He’s even been able to get forward quite often. But with Petretta and Gomis out we lose quite a...

Working, helas, not watching. How are Spicer and JMR doing so far?

Maybe, or in part. Herdman did mention in the press conference after the last match that he thought Longstaff and Coello were excellent and Deybi might have to work his way back into the lineup. He...

It seems to be, partly, at least, that Herdman has identified his best position, has told him that wingback is where he’ll be playing, and has assigned him a coach dedicated to showing him what...

Good for him. He’ll hold down the fort until the even more youthful Giroud arrives.

Another MLS.com blurby analysis of SKC:

What we’ve learned: The attacking pieces aren’t enough…at least not in the 4-3-3.

Before Saturday’s game against the LA Galaxy, no team in MLS touched...

I don’t think he’s been back. That goal just about killed me. I can still see it from my seat. And you’re right, it did certainly do in Bono, it was worse for him.

Their other goal scorer was...

For your Mariner scouting… SKC vs LAG this past Saturday and a lot of familiar faces:

Let’s hope so. And with Kerr’s return that little bit of competition may help as well. Seems Kerr starting and subbing out for Prince is about the best we have as a general solution at striker.

MLS.com on JMR:

“One week after opening his 2024 account in a losing cause at New York City FC, Marshall-Rutty was arguably even better in the Reds’ 2-0 beating of Atlanta United, despite not...

Good for Bernie.

Is it too early to have heard anything on Insigne’s injury?

(Injuries to fashion, aside.)

Competent at times and in certain aspects is the best I’ve seen us so far - with brief flashes of something more. True, I haven’t seen all the matches but teams don’t usually move instantly from...

Man, that is really a tough blow.

Indeed, that was it. And yeah, twice within a few minutes in the first half and beautifully too before we were overrun.

Herdman has referred to “phases” a couple of times… seems we’re still in an evaluation phase - who to keep and who to let go. Sounds like a 2 year plan or so.

Playoffs would be a surprise esp given the strength of the east this season. We haven’t really looked good yet… that this has its excitements says a lot about how bad we were last season.

I think Richie would have really helped but wide speed on that field… not sure if that’s ever an answer. Football on a warped postage stamp is strange football. Even so, we might have got a point out...

Yeah, it was always likely to be a couple of years.

I see what you mean about Yankee Stadium… except that nowhere else is like it (and it’s probably illegally undersized). NYC is built to play...
