after the first half: 1. Baldisimo will NEVER be a MLS-quality MF- too slow to move the ball, poor defensively, lethargic- his conditioning still looks bad-- loan him to the CPL - there has to be better 2. Brown looks chunky and disinterested and lazy- not a good combo both SHOULD be subbed at the half 3. How did Vanni do this ??- choosing a MF of teibert, baldisimo and brown was a disaster in the making-- and it turned out tthat way not playing well can happen in the away opener- but playing without passion, committment and movement is just not good enough lets see what transpires in the second half
Second half: subbed out baldi (100% right); quickly subbed teibert (absolutely right); kept brown in (absolutely wrong) 1. Seba Berhalter looks like a durable, reliable DMF, but nothing terrific 2. The Love Force Was Missing- Brian White- we have little threat, connection and energy on the offense 3. Cavalinni still looks like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole - mind you, not much service for the trimmer TANK... but in noway is Cava a link player 4. MIA- Ryan Gauld had little impact- he can not carry this team all season- help in the MF/striker has to be coming- can Alexandre be that player ? (question- with 3 months of an off-season, how is that Alexandre did not have a visa by training camp?) 5. None of the goals were Hasal's fault 6. Picking the Sphincter-- our defense was constantly picked apart- just too slow 7. The Short Look- Club pres, axel schuster, wont take too long to make changes if this type of performance continues- no need to panic, but time to get the scouting staff 'shaking the bushes' for 2 QUALITY PLAYERS 8. LETS SEE-- our home opener will tell us a lot - i expect a significant bounce-back- LETS SUPPORT THEM
the team isnt worth writing anything about- outside of hasal and blackmon, its all negative Axel's gotta to do something- his waiting over the off-season hasnt helped the Club and, in fact, has been a detriment to building on the excitement and progress of 2021 in the last 3-4 months - the lost momentum has drained us supporters 2 things Axel has to do- a higher quality MF and striker and hope that brian white gets better asap - 1 goal in 3 games says it, alongwith a shadow of ryan gauld
JJ is a small uptick from MW, but both avoided saying anything controversial - stirring the sports pot always adds spice to the controversy - and every team has it, especially when you are playing like crap - time to flush the toilet
GAME AT LAFC-- March 20- 1-3 loss-- WTF !! 1. POTM- Lucas Cavallini- gotta say that i have be on Cava's case, but he worked his arse off- Lucas, Tristin and Hasal showed good stuff, while the rest were pedestrian 2. Just Wondering- did Vanni and MDS shake hands at the end of the game? only 1 was smiling 3. Unbelievable Sighting- watching Cava sprinting up the field hoping that dajome would make an intelligent pass- but instead Christin did the stupid thing and shot - I didnt know that Lucas could run like that 4. If We Were Completely Honest- LAFC were a good 5 goals better than us - it was like an EPL team vs League 2 in England- with gauld and white, it would be a League 1 team 5. Closing Praise- all the players put in a shift QUESTION- what will Axel do during the break ? and please dont toy with us by bringing in Joe Average ... we have enough of those
GAME VS SKC-- April 2- 1-0-- sublime thoughts and unusual claims: 1. The Blind Squirrel Claim - even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes- CONGRATS on your first win for 2022 2. BUT...- this is still a weak team- decent defence, some offense with white and gauld, but OMG, the MF is woeful- we wont get too many points out of this group- most are not MLS-quality and the rest are substitute-quality 3. We have the answer to above- Axel Schuster did squat-nothing in order to improve this lackluster team - when there is a will and the money, there is a way 4. I wonder...- what could this team be like with 2 much higher-quality MFs - #6, 8 4. Its a MIRACLE Claim - the H S is urging me to go to the Portland game next Saturday- i will need a bath of holy oil to fulfill the urge
I am not sure what Axel can do when all he has to play with is MLS cap and allocation money. he isn't getting another bunch of cash to pay for a guy like Gauld. Weak team, unlikely to make the playoffs. Let's see how it goes with Portland.
