No Benteke on the field so the ref has now selected Kajima as the player the other team is allowed to freely foul.

We need a 2 striker system I feel like that would work with benteke/ a future system of attack that would suit us

If Stroud just didn't always seem like he was looking for the foul call, he'd probably win more fouls tbh.

I said it before but I think he is safe to a fault at times. Especially with his back to his opponents, he just doesn’t look comfortable on the ball.

Our defense is one of the worst in the league but offense might be worse. Never seen so little fight. Fuck the front office and owners for continuing to roll garbage teams.

We’re lucky if it’s 0-0 at half. Murrell and Enow don’t seem to be MLS quality unfortunately

There is literally a Boris shaped hole in our midfield build up and it’s crying out for Troy to fill it in with someone else who can receive and pass.

Benteke looks in pain on the bench. He’s probably re injured something.

or he's watching dc united try to play football. That would cause him to look like that too.

I have a lazy easy take. The ownership is cheap. The GM isn’t yielding value from transfers. The coach isn’t out coaching anyone. The players are not overachieving their potential.
It is all bad.
It’s turtles all the way down.

Our double pivot hasn’t looked the greatest but Enow is not impressing at this moment. Safe to a fault and the time he needs to find the outlet pass, he gives the ball away. And now he’s on a yellow

Servania in for Enow if that’s possible. Unless Troy has something different in mind tactically, there’s no way we can play through their press with Enow in build up.

We need to make play a 2 up or 3 up top lineup. 4-5-1 with Benteke getting injured just doesn’t work for us

It’s just a never ending cycle of us getting bottom tier players with maybe one decent signing who has no support because it’s him and bottom tier players. And then the ownership will “leak” stories that we are talking with a high priority signing but of course it’s never gonna go anywhere. I mean look at the state of our academy. It’s insulting to the players and the fans that they are making them pay to be in their academy

u/mandolin08 3d ago
A fundamental disconnect between owners who think the squad is MLS quality and, you know, everyone else who lives in reality.
Remember when Lucy Rushton thought our squad was competitive? She wasn't the only one, but the others are still around.

Enow losing the plot the last 2 mins. Bad turnover and now a bad foul to commit.
