    No, its the pointless possession. The first goal is on steffen. Second is on artur. And pipa isnt a DP anymore. Gb's tactical inflexibility. Trapp aint great, but he's down the list in terms of problems.

    What was Mensah doing here?

    I mean, everyone looked clueless on it but I expect a lot better from a centre back DP......

    Looks like he was on the guy behind him to start. The issue was Meram and Artur running to the same guy

    Okay, not to get too @hangthadj on everyone, but I do think that the overall failure is multi-faceted collection of subtle failures. The system is not flawed, it's overall execution is.

    There is an overall insane ambition and glory to the plan that we all bought into that we could be a high tempo possession oriented attacking team on a budget. The moneyball aspect is what's killing this system. This system requires serious $$$ to get the quality needed to string together more that the odd successful execution. This system requires more perfection, because errors will punish us because we are so committed to being on the front door. Less errors cost most $$$.

    Someone who watches more leagues validate or correct me here; don't most smaller budget teams the world over play a counter attacking style? There's a reason for that, it's the cheapest. This system a la Barcelona/Real, etc. is the most expensive.

    So, AP must change at least one of the following to make this work here.

    1. Commit to spending a few more million out of pocket on the roster.

    2. Commit more time and energy and $$$ into youth development training ONLY this system.

    3. Commit to USL B team (#2 does need more viable prospects before this is imperative, but our depth need minutes too, so not useless today at all.

    4. Allow this team to counter-attack more than we play possession with today's A-team and slowly tip the attacking Balance to possession season by season as the $$$ and or academy start to produce players capable of executing this system.

    I don't completely disagree with your first point, but I think it's moot if you fix the secondary issue, which I would argue is the primary issue.
