...sure, he's got issues. But a) we know nothing about whether there's upstairs influence in some decisions, such as repeatedly playing Garcia, who is Mo's boy.
b) The players, ultimately, have failed on three coaches now. That's an indication that we have players who don't have the character to compete at this level as starters.
Yes, I agree that he hasn't managed subs as well as he could. I'd also say that he should've brought in Fellinga a couple of games ago, if for no other reason than to switch up our formation.
But if all anyone focuses on is that the extremely inexperienced coach didn't get it done, they're missing the bigger picture. This is a failure on four levels:
* Cummins, for (in as much as we can tell) not managing his players and instilling the required confidence or desire to win;
* The players, for chickenshit last 15 minute performances over and over again, along with a general timidity in movement. Several times yesterday, De Guzman was visibly frustrated trying to get someone who'd moved upfield to come back and act as a link. Simple, basic shit like support play, in other words.
* Mo, for giving us starters who are bench players at best. Building half a team and signing JDG isn't good enough for three years of bungling. Anyone think that last shot would've gone over Tyrone Marshall's head?
* MLSE. They've done a whole lot right, but if all they look at is Mo's good points, we're gonna go through this shit time and again.
As a whole, there should be a housecleaning, and I'd particularly include about a third of our starting team with that.
