    Looks like Poz is already making his mark….https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/m...264633041.html

    Happy for him. Even if it means we probably don’t get more than 3 out of 6 points against them.

    According to Higuain’s comments in the article, sounds like Poz is being used correctly and in a system that suits him. For those calling for him to have stayed here as a false nine, he was never very good at it. The more range he’s allowed, including deep lying, the more you’re going to get out of him and his huge contract.

    As a ten, Vanney pushed him as high as humanly possible but he did it carefully and purposefully. Playing him as a false nine was simply because there were no other viable options up front at the time.

    I'm thinking a draw would be a good result.

    I expect Miami to come out of the gate hard and fast. If we can whether the early storm could maybe look for a result.

    We certainly need good keeping and defending to have any chance.

    Higuaín and Insigne played at Napoli together for a number of years so I'm sure it will be happy for them to see each other.

    Expecting this to be a close one. Although Bono is Bono, he usually can bounce back to being average after a disasterous performance.

    The manz just needs a coach that's not going to ass-pat him every time he makes a mistake. I'm starting to think Conway is the common denominator here.

    The anecdotal evidence is pretty damning. Hopefully Bradley finds replacements for both of them this off-season.

    I'm still shocked BB didn't bring in his own guy. Or Armas even but who knows what mess that one would have been.

    I assume Apple is now killing YouTube code
    as I'm seeing no video for the second-straight game.

    Sigh. Hopefully your dog is spared.

    Well if you insist....the best musician ever from around those parts (I just couldn't find a mental link somehow from a bass jazz dude to this game)

    Maybe the one quote I saw

    once Jaco was asked, "what's the future of jazz?" and responded with something like, "Well, next week, I'll be in Miami."
    Whats the future of MLS

    "Well next week, TFC will be in Miami"

    The highlight for me was they're running a 2 for 1 ticket sale... $29 can get you two seats.

    They're only drawing 12,000 a game. I don't care if they're in temporary digs, that number has to
    worry MLS.

    That's why I'm saying that there must be some Bogers angle that's keeping Conway in that position. He must know someone with influence, and that person is Andi Petrillo. They got married in 2012 - the same year Conway began as the TFCAcademy keeper coach. He appears to be the one true untouchable in the organization.

    If he really is untouchable, that’s a pretty big and glaring organizational weakness.

    There's something there for sure but they should just shuffle him off to some behind the scenes role where he can do less damage. Make him a ticket rep or something.

    Andi Petrillo does not have the required influence.

    Inarguable point. She's nowhere near the TV profile required to have pull with a company she doesn't even work for.

    There must be some reason because he isn't good enough to survive 3 managers and full bench clean outs.

    I was thinking more along the lines of either the Italian connection or a blind spot for someone who says the right things and manages to deflect fault.
    No matter the reality, it’s not good.

    Given how little evidence or information we have from which to draw conclusions, you could just as easily conclude Bono would be even worse if he wasn't here.

    The only really good season he ever had we had Drew Moor marshalling the league's best defence in front of him.

    He's been an accident waiting to happen for six other seasons. Maybe he's just not a very good keeper.

    Blaming Conway on nothing but assumptions that someone else would've done better also assumes four straight managers have no judgment regarding their support team.

    More probably, Bono's ceiling was always as a very good backup who can pass as a starter on a defensively strong team. And Q is a 35-year-old who spent most of his career as a backup, was always undersized, and had COVID before the season started.

    It’s so hard to judge Conway’s performance (or any assistant coach really). Most of their work is done at training which none of us are privy too. To jloome’s point, maybe our GKing would be much worse without him (although that’s maybe hard to believe). My view is though that it’s probably worth bringing in a new face just to try something different.
