    NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!! OZ fu<king SUUUUUUCCCKKKED @ss. Bradley has drafted well for us, made a trade with DC that will help us, and has earned the respect of the players on our roster due to his impressive achievements. F OZ. OZ played Mathis as an attacking mid when the guy is a natural striker, he played Diallo and other players out of position, terrible subbing, he alienated himself from fans and players alike, so I say NO I am NOT with you!!!

    There is a good chance the Mathis will continue playing attacking mid under Bradley. Can't yell at OZ for that one.
    Diallo was always a forward and wasn't played out of position. Actually, nobody really played out of position under OZ. Take his predecessor (Bora), now he played players out of position! Then again, look at what Arena is doing with the Nats. Victorine and Convey as defenders? Sometimes playing players out of position isn't that bad of an idea.



    OZ did suck though.

    It sure was. From his "youth team". Wonder how much $$$ he made from drafting his own player #1 overall?

    I suspect you may be more disturbed over the vast changes which are taking place on the club than the fact that 'Oz' is no longer the coach.

    This team is going through a complete makeover and that will no doubt bother some fans who have developed attachments to certain players. Especially those that have been on the roster for a long time (in most cases, too long).

    Bradley is the guy with the broom cleaning the house and it stands to reason he will not be a favorite with fans feeling that way.

    You'll all be sending him Valentines by mid-season. I think it will be exciting and winning.

    Yeah, but we're tied for first with nine other teams!

    This has to be the stupidest thread ever. "The new guy" compared to OZ, when the season hasn't started yet? What's next? Complaining about the field turf in the Harrison stadium?

    At least OZ didn't dress like a slob like the new coach. Even when we lost playing our awful midfield that was slanted to the left and had no bench talent, we had a Gucci coach.

    yeah but fashion-wise, but out new coach fits well with our borderline alcoholic striker with a bad haircut...

    I still think Steve Shak and Mansour Ndaiye will be big-time MLS players. So unfair.

    He also was able to get Klinger and Byron Alvarez. I wish I can follow their footsteps.

    I'll admit that I thought it wasn't right to fire OZ, because he did get us into the playoffs his first two seasons, but I do agree that it was the right thing to do.

    Bradley will kick butt.

    He's admitting he was wrong. I thought that was about as clear as it gets, then you rearranged what was actually written to make it confusing.

    I afree (sp?).

    It was the divots in the GS turf that caused them to lose. Or maybe it was the dude who left Clint off the roster.

    Oh well.

    I wish we would have Bora back. I mean, we could lose a game, but he would always say something nice during an interview. Is there anything better than an optimistic mentality? I think not.

    BORA FOR COACH!

    Just like Ty said, B-O-R-A, Bora. lol

    Then who is to blame for us not making the playoffs last season? We needed to win just one out of our last three games. Two of those three were against last place DC United. We lost all three, not even a draw. Who do you blame, the players? coaches? the people who designed the playoff format? I blame OZ. He was the coach. As a coach, you are responsible for the team around you. Last year, the Metros were expected to make a deep run into the playoffs, yet they didn't even make the playoffs. Who do you blame for that? Nick? OZ? Keep OZ? No F'n way.
