    Also Bono clearly cares about this team. Dude is on the edge of his seat and standing up and points to encourage the team.

    It really does feel like BB is trying to shoehorn players into his system rather than finding a system that works for them.

    I hate that.

    I don’t understand leaving Neson on, didn’t Petrasso have 3 assists early in the season playing as a winger.

    We look like the half-team we are right now.

    Very poor though, turning off like that.

    Whisper it quietly but maybe our problem is Poz's insistence on that extra touch to find space

    And why do so many of our players have such poor first touches? How many times does the ball bounce 2 feet away when they receive the ball?

    It's ridiculous.

    Yes, 100 percent absolutely Poz is our glaring problem out there…

    He’s just miscast.

    We need another 2-way mid and as much as Poz will try… it’s not his strength

    I wonder if the unpolished youngsters will be even more tentative when Insigne is playing. That's my fear.

    I dunno, Kosi looks less like a fullback every time he plays. he was doing really well earlier in the season as a midfielder, not sure why we moved him. Smacks of trying to jam talent into holes, ala Shaff at wingback.

    Yeah I was going to say. I am sure Kosi has the potential to be a fine professional but at this stage he’s the weakest link on the pitch and a glaring weakness.

    Nelson gets better all the time. Think he’ll be a good second half sub as he continues to develop

    I’m not sure if you are also being sarcastic as well, and sorry if I misread it, but I’m suggesting that any talk of Poz in any sort of “he’s our problem” capacity is absolutely, completely crazy, no matter where he plays. Watching him with this supporting cast(minus Jesus) is so incredibly frustrating, I could not imagine how it would feel for him to actually be playing in it.

    Ha! Yeah I figured there might be some sarcasm in there. Bradley’s stubbornly sticking to his system isn’t getting the most out of Poz. That is pretty clear

    Poz slows everything down. It's become the only way every one on the team approaches passing.

    Richie did not do that. Shaff does not.

    There is no pace at their line.

    Hmmmm,

    Drew Carey, from Cleveland, partially owns the Seattle Sounders, who have a player named Cleveland.

    Agreed. And in fairness to Bradley(unless it’s his own inability to fill a roster with better talent) - this roster could not survive any system with the players on the squad. Go down the list, there is just not enough there.

    Again, why is our best player on the team being singled out as a problem? No one makes runs. He can’t pass to anyone because they aren’t in the right places or attacking.

    Nobody's showing for the fucking ball. Salcedo outside the box, too far to just dump it in, and no one moves.

    Jesus H.

    So we’ve played Shaff a bunch, he’s done what exactly with his time? I like the player, but when he’s out and we’re still losing, is he really that effective?

    So they sleepwalk through 85 minutes, giving up 2 goals, then decide to wake up and finally try when it’s too late? Very frustrating.

    Because our best player is the example they all follow.

    And it's not a good thing

    I dunno man, he had three goals and three assists on an even worse team. He has speed, he gets to the line quickly, he gets dangerous crosses in.

    It's like we're insisting on playing from the same two zones into the box and waiting for a buildup every time. It's reductive and easy to defend with a low block.

    So maybe we need to sit deeper, play a big switch counter and put some speed on the wing that actually produces a decent delivery.

    Well, looks like there will probably be a shutout tonight.
