    It’s not speed. It’s effort. He looks like he really doesn’t care.

    Disagree completely. Not seeing that at all. He's run like hell all night.

    He shuts off too often for a player in his position of leadership.

    Stellar performance. O’Neil and him were top quality signings to stock the bench.

    Oh look, the ref decided to pretend he was calling this both ways.

    I don't mind the Laryea transfer. He wanted to go to Europe. Let him have that. The Auro move still leaves me dumbfounded and not signing a replacement (for him, Laryea, or Lawrence) even more so.

    Now all we need are 7-9 starters, lol.

    He looks shut off. Similar to all last season. Zero impetus.

    Oh no. Still need a pair of starting centrebacks (Salcedo could still pan out).

    Yeah, I just don't agree man. He looked industrious and worked hard all night until about the 65 min. What he looks like since then is gassed, completely.

    I mean, maybe it amounts to the same thing. He can't play a full game of us at 10 men as a number eight. he doesn't have the wheels.

    There are pieces here but the FB play & the slow midfield is just not working with BB's high press.



    Its a work in progress & there's a few pieces that need to come in. But there's a lot of decent bits about.

    When you know so many fullbacks are going and are unlikely to bring any in, you have to hold off that transfer until the summer. Just poor all around.

    I think that’s fair, though I would call him gassed since half. He can’t carry water as a lone DM anymore. Way too much asked of him.

    Its a bunch of academy kids and CPL standouts.... we are never going to win shit like this
    Bob Bradley is ass. Doesn't actually address any problems even when asked about it during the interview, and has blamed players in a few interviews? Like are you fucking kidding me... that's a no-no in coaching 101
    Manning needs to fucking go. He's not good enough to build a solid team.
    Insigne coming in is not going to do shit and he's just going to be frustrated, and want to leave if the gigantic holes in this team are not addressed quickly.
    Also, Michael Bradley needs to fucking sit, but nepotism is strong at this club.

    Bono is hot garbage.. any coach that doesn't see it is trash in my books.

    I agree there are lots of good pieces, but worryingly, very few automatic starters, and some stink from last year still lingering.

    I worry about Osorio not being here tonight, being pulled in the last game.

    This team has a lot of great pieces for depth and a lot of anchors in key problem spots (Bono, Bradley, Mavinga, Salcedo).

    I got a terrible sinking feeling when the announcer said “and we can’t wait to celebrate 400 matches with you soon” at game this weekend

    The only automatic starters, to me, are Oso, Poz & Jesus.

    MB has to sit but he won't while there are so many mids injured.

    I worry he said something like "look, we all know what the problem in transition is, and has been for three years..."

    Amazing that Bono still plays at this level, and amazing that Westberg was brought back to sit on the bench for good money when he’s not seen as better than Bono

    Oso is injured but "there is no time frame for it" is what the broadcast said.

    Oso had such an amazing run at DM a while back, amazing he hasn’t been tried there once this season

    Bono is just not good enough. Not blaming him for the overall performance tonight. A terrible distributor and cannot marshal the back line.

    How did Brenner score 25 in 74 in Brazil? One of those cases of a guy who does all the basic stuff so well that playing at a higher level elevates him.

    Can't do it on his own, though.

    It still blows my mind we rode a budget and hamstrung roster to a near supporters shield with Osorio and Delgado as the midfield pairing. And then, we never actually tried it again.
