3-4-3?

Don’t we want Jayden Nelson to have plenty of time on the pitch with Myrto and Facu in a competitive match before the home opener? Put Rosales at LB and put Nelson on the wing and thatvis good group to get to work together. Missed opportunity

Rosales at right wing is killing me. My god we need a real game soon because these preseason matches are destroying my sanity.

*multiple deep breaths*

I'M SURE NICO IS JUST TESTING THINGS AND THE LINEUP ON OPENING DAY WILL MAKE TOTAL SENSE.

Is it possible to have too much width? We don’t have anyone playing between the lines behind the striker and ahead of the CMs. Everything gets pushed wide or we play hopeful long balls. Nobody is popping up in the space between lines asking questions to potentially unbalance and unlock the oppistion

This is so true! Rosales is an outstanding LB or LWB. I hope this is just an experiment and we don’t try to make him a winger

Nico was gifted a 90th percentile left back and a very good left winger and he’s going to play the left back in the left winger’s position and play the left winger on the right.

It’s going to fail 5 games straight and then we’ll spend the rest of the season chasing points we lost doing dumb shit.

Observations from Section 230 at halftime - Nelson, Bell, and Rosales are upgrades physically we will have to see how they gel; and I love Jonny G but if he doesn’t improve defensively, we will be hoping Dessler stays healthy this season

If we do not make any other attacking signings (and it’s still possible we do sign a 10) the clear message from this offseason is that the bet is on Owen Wolff. And he really will need to step up for the team to really compete.

I like the Facu signing - young but proven in MLS and also for the reasons you stated. I also believe in Owen. That kid has something special about him. But let’s not put too much weight on his shoulders. He is best when he feels free to express himself

Let’s get to work! 💪

Well then to be be flip since we don’t have Mesdi maybe Taylor was not someone we should have gone for

Any reporting on why Taylor has been below par for Austin but was above par for Miami? I worry we acquired a player who wasn’t happy about the trade and has been less than 100% as a result.

Eh, with the quality of our pens, maybe 5 more. In any case, the Son v Uzuni DP comparison is super close. How do you pick between the 2?

He just keeps dunkin’ on defenders

3 big points at home!

I would like to kindly request that Sabovic not be allowed to shoot or be in the box offensively

I know right? They got rid of an owner they hated <sniff>, got a new stadium <sniff>, and won some stuff <wah, wah> and these knuckleheads can let it go

Er, bitter much? Come on Cooligans, you are better than such petty bullshit

If that’s penalty then every corner should be a penalty. Nashvile player just drops when he feels contact. Very, very soft. Come on, acknowlefge it’s doft snd can be called on every cotner if the player flops

Exactly

I was a Mukhtar fan before this game, but he turned iut to be a wanker

As the saying goes, it is better to be lucky than good

Lucky lucky

Kolmanic not even the bench is very surprising. Are there US Open limitations on the number allowed on the bench? His left footed crosses are often very useful when we need a goal

Don’t disagree, but Obrian is still on the bench. It seems there is more going on there

No Robert Taylor. What is going on there???

All 3 please. We have subs if we need em

Great win!! A pair of 20 year olds win it!

Get in!!

Tough to come back when you are out your best CB, CM and striker
