I also like the idea of Peglow in the middle. He’s probably the second best player, maybe Herrera has an argument but it hasn’t been a great season for him so far, so it makes sense to try and get him on the ball more.
They're missing most of their starters, including three of their four defenders. The last two games they've been about as bad as we have, but Evander has bailed them out.
The pitch at Audi looks really good considering there were a couple American football games played here since the last United home game.
DC goes with 3 CBs, a central midfield of Servania and Kijima, and no Pirani. Barazza gets the start in goal, too. No Barajas on the bench either.
I like Troy Lesesne as a coach and I hope he's here for years. But his subbing patterns are terrible. It just feels like he throws pasta at the wall to see what, if anything, sticks. This starting lineup feels like that too.
Cinci is a well drilled team. Not having their top players will hurt them but not much. We need to watch their speed.
I like him as a person. But as a coach if you have a roster of players who can't play the style you want to play as demonstrated over more than 30 games and you keep trying to play that style, that's on you.
Apparently it was or GK that caused the issues. Not the players that have a 3 on 2 and can’t figure out what to do.
It's inconceivable that the defense looks even worse than last week. Luckily Cincy b-team isnt making them pay
If this one gets ugly in the second half, that might be curtains for Lesesne. It’s terrible soccer, bottom line.
We're finding space over the top on the flanks, but I wonder how much of that is our cleverness and how much is FCC knowing that we can't do anything with it.
