If any game screams draw....
Well every game screams draw right now....Originally Posted by Canary10
Going to be watching the coaching battle on this one. Gary Smith makes very easy and sensible adjustments throughout a game. Bob on the other hand…

Lol. True.
Nashville are playing really well, have won four in a row, and sit second in the league. We have been playing poor or struggling teams, this is different.
BMO is far from a fortress these days. This game screams loss not draw to me.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Looking forward to Shaffelburg scoring a brace and our manager getting the sack.
He hasn't been playing much lately so that's probably unlikely. Mukhtar on the other hand...
They basically use him as a counter attacking option when they have the lead or when the game gets more open. Nothing fancy, he’s direct and attacks the goal.
But trotting the guy out to “stick it to his old team” is definitely something I’d try as a manager. Fully expect he’ll be a second half sub if he doesn’t start.
BUT this is MLS so it probably means blowout win
Well here's hoping if Hedges can't go that Rosted is in a better head space then he was on Saturday night - that was some serious chaos brain going on there.
He seems to be in a confidence slump. He started the first 10 games or so really well. Since he had that error against NER its like he's doubting himself on the field.
Hany would skin Rosted alive. We really need Hedges to be back in the 11 for Saturday.
This game screams our former lad Shaff blowing through a semi slow,over aggressive Rosted on a one-two link up play with Mukhtar in the 89th minute to give Nashville the 2-1 win lol. He hasn't had his moment to burn us yet has he?
MacNaughton header goal off an early corner to get things rolling. We seem to have Shaff's number and we don't give away a ton of transition goals anymore but now we can't defend set pieces worth a shit so MacNaughton time.
Totally depends which team we put out there. But Nashville is at the least positionally sound across all 11 slots. We'll be lucky to get out of this better than 1-0. Mukhtar has the same kind of game impact as Reynoso, would ran us to death in short order.
They're still not the most offensive team, but yeah fair enough. They're playing well right now. Lots of 2-1 wins.
FYI, the thread title says January 10 instead of June 10
Hmmm....Monday morning & not enough coffee.....but u & a are two different hands so who knows what i was thinking...
I watched their game against Columbus a couple of weeks ago and was extremely impressed. Nashville look like a contender should look like.
They were great on the counter, which is a big weakness for us.

Finding it difficult to go.
Champions league is on at 330 pm it becomes even more difficult going from champions league quality to MLS and TFC quality.
Not really anymore.
We don't really do anything offensively with pace or push numbers up anymore so we give up minimal. And do minimal. We make every match we're in as boring as possible. We're the real anti-football.
Our strikers are mainly ornamental in nature. They might touch the bal at midfield but never near the box.
I will also argue two certain midfielders being out is helping our ability to defend the counter. Particularly one guy who points at other people to chase down his marking assignments while he tucks into the middle.
When's the last time we got torched often on counters? This isn't 2022 anymore where we give up 2 goals on the counter per match.
Now set pieces is a different story. Those we can't defend.
Start of this season, when they both were playing
Yeah those were the old days now. The days before Bob sacrificed all offense for flow killing defense. Imagine if that guy valued balance. That'd be something.Start of this season, when they both were playing
I will say that although I fully expect us to cack this up, I thought the drifting Bernie thing made us look better offensively. Sapong was a decent winger originally in MLS and he put in a couple of decent balls. And having him closer to goal upended them a bit. By the second half he seemed to have mostly drifted back right, not sure why.
Well, they should know each other. They were teammates at Brondby.
Osorio is expected to be back for this game, I hear.
Um, the Minnesota game? They didn’t score on one, but they had 4-5 dangerous moves on the counter.
