Now that we have Soteldo to help carry the load in midfield playing Poz as a false nine could be incredibly viable.

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about or I wasn't watching the games properly, buuuuuutttttt
I always thought we played our best football while in the 3-5-2.
I know eventually teams were able to just sit back and block it, but I feel like there were ways to rectify that issue, but Vanney just didn't have the tactical knowledge in the attacking end to figure it out.
Interesting - we certainly played well. And Morrow could be in the "three". But with our midfield depth, hard to fit Bradley- Oso - Marky -Poz -Solteldo- Lawrence-Richie- Auro into that midfield. If Soteldo is in the "2" that still leaves 6 excellent players trying to fit into five spots, and thats assuming one of Richie / Auro is on the bench
I wonder if Curtis will say he acquired a new player. https://twitter.com/JohnMolinaro/status/1420419284266852357?s=20

What a find that pic is
They're going to take their time bringing Achara back.... Part of me thinks that's because we're lacking a roster spot. We traded two international spots so have six left.
Auro , Endoh, Poz, Soteldo, Gallardo, Mavinga are currently the six.... Achara didn't count while injured
I was actually just wondering how Achara was doing. That's awesome he's training again. I remember him looking really good.
Other news from the day according to Molinaro
Both Lawrence & Westberg not with the team for personal reasons for a few days.
DeLeon in quarantine, as expected
I kind of wonder if Westberg might want out. His playing time has dried up because Alex Bono is tall and he is coming towards the end of his career.
I might be beating a dead horse, but I find it ridiculous if someone tests negative they have to quarantine.
If you think the tests not accurate, then run another in the morning next day, and another, and if at that point your still unsure, then what the F is the point of a test. Ridiculous.
does anyone know if auro is fit for sunday?
*edit to say john molinaro just confirmed that auro was back in full training

Because the incubation period is longer that.
Or DeLeon could just get vaccinated. The 14-day quarantine is partly a measure to discourage unnecessary international travel, because no testing or quarantine is perfect, as even Australia is discovering. It's very easy to bypass that now by getting vaccinated, even for non-essential workers like DeLeon.
But unfortunately it seems he has a problem with his brain that prevents him from being intelligent.
But seriously, if I was in charge, I wouldn't put up with that shit – having a player only available half the time because they have to quarantine because they don't understand basic science.
Ship him out.

I'm not going to jump all over him for his choice. For me, I let people decide what they want to do for themselves and I don't subscribe to the finger pointing for the un-vaxxed or the odd celebrating of people getting vaccinated.
That being said, as a sports team with a cap, there's really no room for a part time player like this. He should just get moved to a US based team so he only misses the Canadian matches. We could sure use his cap $$$ now.
I didn't hear the explanation why he was brought to Chicago. I'd guess because we were short-staffed with the Gold Cup going on? It would make way more sense to dress him for the games here and not have him travel to the US. Having him play a game and out for two weeks isn't so smart.
