The Official Matías Almeyda thread

Almeyda is a good coach huh? Just get him some top tier talent.

 

Rios for sure. Fierro probably. Maybe Alanis. I think Chofis and Espinoza will stick around.

 

That sounds about right. I could possibly see Fierro sticking, if he takes a big pay cut. Same with Alanis. But it doesn't make sense to keep these guys around if they're making close to $1 mil.

 

Chofis seemed upset when Almeyda took him out against the Galaxy last night.

 

Do you have a basis for that, or is it just total conjecture?

 

Just by the look on his face when he was subbed out and walking slowly.

I don't know if he was mad or not it just seemed that way to me.

 

Over the last 6 games, we're #3 in MLS on points.

Extended over the last 8 games, and we're #5.

I'd say the turnaround done started.

 

It’s always an even better turnaround when you get a 3 point win over the Gals!

 

Matias has beaten Bob Bradley the last two times he played him and now he's beaten Greg Vanney and Brian Schmetzer. Nice improvement indeed.

 

MA also beat Vanney in the CCL final. Toronto at the time, maybe still, was considered one of the best MLS teams in league history.

 

lol, I don't think you are answering the actual question. He was asking about your Espinoza leaving if Almeyda leaves comment, not Chofis being subbed out.
But, to address your Chofis comment, how many players are happy when they get subbed out? Most players want to stay in the game, and don't like it when subbed.

 

Fire him!

Sorry, my timing is little off...

well deserved!

 

Purple sweater should have gotten the glory.

 

Pelado discovers the JuRY™ midfield and zonal marking, wins Coach of the Week!

 

He doesn't show much emotion even when he scores, or the post game team photos in the locker room.

I see it more as a partnership with both deserving their rightful share.

 

He shows more emotion when it's a well-taken goal. If it's a tap-in, not as much, which I kind of like. If you tap it into an open net, no need to act like you just discovered a cure for cancer.

BTW I notice Almeyda was relatively reserved after Chofis scored-ish (own goal) in LA too. Augustin showed a lot more emotion. I think Almeyda really wanted the win badly and didn't want to jinx it in any way (though he claims to be non-superstitious). As further evidence how badly Almeyda wanted that one, he really let it fly after the Quakes won.

 

Good to know that it works as just a tie-over too. You know, for those warm evenings.

 

Don’t know. Probably best not to analyze these things too much. Just seems to be working.

 

It is an iconic look for sure. We will be talking about this for years. The very best part is denying he is superstitious.

 

lol, that caught my attention too.
