3. AZ was not it last night. Had a hard time controlling the ball and getting it off his foot. I think the priority for #crew96 needs to be upgrading that position over JRR.
4. In Nancy we trust... Keep Chambost deeper, Zawa at CB and upgrade the attack, this team fights for the supporters shield.

#crew96 brain dump after attending the second leg of LAFC:
1. Chambost at the 8 played to his strengths of ground coverage and deep lying playmaking, he needs to stay there.
2. Zawadski at CB was the player of the game. Having him, Nagbe, and Chambost in the midfield is the best 11 right now.

Don't let the fact that #crew96 can't score goals distract you from Columbus being the greatest team the world has ever seen.

Man, #crew96 can't score goals against a functioning back line, who could have predicted that.

Last night was the first time in a long time that (outside of Miami) #crew96 didn't have the best player on the field, and it became glaringly obvious by the end. When your best can't match their best, no amount of "sum of your parts" can make up for that.
