Fede was so good last year I’m not going to worry about him this year. We know what he is capable of, and with positive reinforcement from teammates, coaches, fans, I feel like there’s no reason to worry about him. We got much bigger fish to fry.
JFC, Herbers on for Gutierrez? And that’s the only halftime sub in a game where our striker couldn’t finish two prime chances and our defense was invisible for two goals? I get that the bench is thin but FFS, this decision-making is baffling. Ivanov is somehow still on the field, Fede has a yellow, and Terán was less effective than a traffic cone out there. Ugh.
Why isn’t Duran not the first sub on when they are down 2? Why did Espinoza go in for Ivanov when Bornstein is too slow to track back on defense when he is so high up the pitch? Ezra’s sub patterns have been baffling all season long.
And we still have Fede playing with a yellow, right? Hasn’t that been a problem for us at least once this year? Yeah, baffling.
