The Official Matías Almeyda thread

How long did it last in Atlanta with Tito?

 

Atlanta United is a soulless corporate creation. The Quakes are a Club.

 

"The first rule of tifo is you don't talk about the tifo" -- except on a commercial replayed over and over on national TV.



So who's paying the rent on the immaculate warehouse with the AU painted exterior? Continental Tires? Arthur Blank? Resurgence dues? Guess we're not going to talk about that.

 

I am downvoting this only because tvromero is right, the Nat players wouldn't be able to adapt to it.

 

Lima is evidence of that .

 

What They're Saying: Matias Almeyda

 

He'll likely get another 3 game ban for those comments.

 

It would be kinda fun if financial fair play came down hard on City Group and they ended up having to sell/abandon NYCFC and all their teams.

 

I kinda wonder "what if" if the boss had his hands on some of our other guys that we let go. The one I especially wonder the most about is Alashe. Something tells me he could have done more than reasonably well in our system next to Yueill, maybe even ahead of Judson and Godoy.

 

I have been saying this all season. I totally agree that Alashe would have flourished in this system. I also wonder what this team would be like, under this coach, with a Quincy Amerikwa in it, too.

 

While a great athlete, Alsahe's ball skill were considerably lacking.

 

As opposed to, say, that magician Eriksson?

 

Magnus is pretty much the exact opposite of Alashe in almost every way.

 

His balk skills were t the best but that’s what Jackson is for . He could have at least been s great bench option in this system especially for the man marking

 

Are you saying that Magnus is noted for his amazing first touch and dribbling skillz?

 

Ooo I sincerely apologize for that typing disaster on my phone lol

 

Good FIFA interview with @SJEarthquakes coach @peladoalmeyda: "At the start of the season if you had asked any other MLS team who they'd most like to face, they would have said San Jose ... now many teams would think twice before naming us."https://t.co/BB1jLMIQYm

Almeyda: Superstar-less NYCFC play best soccer in MLS

 

These sorts of things worry me, because it plays right into Fisher’s tight-fisted player acquisition policies...

 

It's even worse - giving nycfc credit for being good without spending big is not an accurate representation of nycfc. They are not the lowly underdog.

It's the Quakes FO and coaching staff vs the City Football Group. Big difference there.

 

Mitrita cost more than our whole roster

 

I'm really afraid Matías Almeyda may seek greener pastures overseas.

 

In the best case we only have 3 more years with him. After that it’s Ian Russell if we’re lucky.

 

Yeah but I thought there was no bias?

Matias Almeyda: MLS referees don't treat all players like ...

 

I'm not saying this as a justification, I'm saying this as a warning, because we all have our pride, and we all dedicate passion, time and love to this.
