💔Macaroni Tony
🍾Celebrating but not popping bottles
🖐️ Takes
🤞It's the hope that kills you
1: We needed help and we got it from absolutely everywhere. That’s not to say we didn’t also put together a performance we would have liked to have seen all year. This was better but hopefully it doesn’t wash away the fact that celebrating sneaking into a wild card spot like we’ve won a cup isn’t what this club is about.
2: Our 40 year old wall had some excellent saves and sat an Orlando defender down. Exercise the option. If the team had been better this season he would’ve been up for GK of the year.
3: Unfortunately having the price tag that Alexey has, coupled with the relatively minimal impact he’s had in open play, mean’s he’s got to bury that pen and he hit it far too casually. If you’re not pulling the strings you gotta score in those moments and it’s all the more glaring when you don’t.
4: This was one of Barto’s better games. He seemed much more calm and composed on the ball. No glaring mistakes from him and he played more of that key role of intercepting and cutting off passes and connecting our own attack from back to front. Another one of those “where has this been” type of performances.
5: Conflicted. That’s how maybe a lot of 17’s feel about this match and locking up the wild card spot. It may feel like some of these players don’t deserve it, but there are some that do and Rob definitely does. We can be happy for them.

🍦Why is this team so soft?
💸How much is heart worth?
🌀Hurricane relief efforts and another incoming storm
1: The first 45 was filled with hallmarks of this team. Lots of entries into the final third and no end product. Lots of overcooked crosses and wasted chances. At least we had energy?
2: Pedro has been a revelation. Not only does he play with intensity and full blooded commitment, but he’s got real quality in the attack. His right foot is so well calibrated. His passes are on target and he can thread dangerous balls between defenders better than anyone else currently on the team.
3: Ronald Hernandez is the definition of a good pro. He sees sporadic minutes but he can always be counted on when his name is called. Quality enough player to start every match? Maybe not, but over Brooks right now….couldn’t hurt.
4: Once again, as has been the case SO MANY DAMN TIMES this season, our best opportunities, (and indeed one of our goals) comes off of being quick and direct, or counter play. How much film does this team have to watch before that’s recognized, adopted and consistently implemented???
5: Really looking forward to the non stop access video featuring VAR and the offside flag. We got let off the hook so many times. We couldn’t even keep the clean sheet. But, we’ve given ourselves a chance to get in with help from other teams. Bet champagne popped. No matter what happens on decision day, this team does not have the mentality to do anything in the post season.

👍👎 Keep or move on player review
😡🏠Should the club consider Josef?
🧠💰What’s mentality worth?
1: You’ll notice something about the takes for this match. They could just as easily be about so many other games this season. Slow start. Directionless. Conceded first. Finally wake up and respond and have it not be enough.
2: One thing that has been consistent most of this season, especially in the summer months, is the team’s mentality and how wrong it is. I’m happy we equalized before the half, but after scoring you run into the net, grab the ball, and go again. Celebrating equalizing on what should be a clear goal ain’t it.
3: Alexey is getting his foot on the ball and starting to combine with players up top. That’s something at least He’s got quality and the team lacks the chemistry and anticipation needed to take full advantage of his talents.
4: Criminal defending against a former legend. How in the world Josef is able to get control of the ball the first time and then still have space to receive it again and shoot is beyond comprehension. Basics. Fundamentals. The standard hasn’t been met.
5: Every 17 should listen to the recent Men In Blazers Episode featuring new Ipswich Town CEO Mark Ashton. He talks about building culture and what it means to have EVERYONE at his club ONSIDE. TOGETHER. How it takes relentless dedication and obsession with the game to achieve success. That’s the mentality this club is so sorely lacking.

🐲DragonCon
🗓️We're back baby...next year?
💪The upcoming unified match
🖐️ Our takes
1: Champions of XG, you’ll never sing that. That about sums up the first half. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. We looked organized defensively and pretty average in attack. We’re just not clinical on the chances we should be burying.
2: We improved in attack in the 2nd half. The chances we started to create or happen upon came from quick direct play and quite frankly, just trying. We stopped looking for the perfect opportunity before shooting or just putting a dangerous ball into the danger area. Waiting for the perfect opportunity is something we do too often.
3: Alexey is a talented player. Little hard to see how this particular player makes this particular team better. He’s not a quick with his feet playmaking 10 & that has been how ATL through the years has found success. We might not see how good he can be until this team is really overhauled in the offseason.
4: Ask a fan what an ATL goal looks like. Doubt anyone has a good answer. Still, bout time Fortune gets a little fortunate. Just another name in a long list of kids we have asked to grow up quickly. He’s been a bright spot and like we said last week, play the kid higher up, he’s a dynamic threat that isn’t afraid to have a go.
5: 1 Nil?? In this economy? Said it before, will say it again, 1-0 wins are, in a lot of ways, more impressive than multi goal wins. It doesn’t happen often with us but it’s usually a result of balanced play and that’s what we saw tonight, particularly in the 2nd half.

🏴The start of the EPL
✍️The profile of players we're looking to sign
🤔Candidates for next coach
🖐️ Our takes
🫵 Your takes
1: It took about 20 minutes, but the team looked pretty good in the transition moments. Rob said they were emphasizing that over the past few weeks so if we’re not going to have possession, I think we gotta be pretty happy with that.
2: In truth, the team played some pretty competent football, which sounds like a low bar to meet but it’s just how the season has been. We held the top team in the West scoreless for 75 minutes. Moreover, we avoided the glaring gaffes.
3: Not happy to see both of the goals chalked off for offside but nonetheless it was nice to see them come from a restart of play and an attack in transition. Both areas have been lacking and that’s been frustrating because they should be strengths of this team.
4: Fortune needs to be playing higher up more often. He’s got real attacking quality and is at his best when he is in a more direct attacking role than he is as an orchestrator in the midfield.
5: Miranchuk coming on didn’t dramatically change things but we did get to see some of his quality. He’s got a pretty sweet left foot that’s well calibrated. That should bode well for future service into the box. If only we had a lethal 9 waiting for said service.

🧐Are fans being gaslit?
🇺🇸 USWNT in their Hayes era
🖐️ Our takes
🫵 Your takes
1: It’s a shame that this was the first playing experience at the Benz for Pedro. It looked like a covid match. Can’t blame the fans for not showing up. The tournament doesn’t feel meaningful and the product on the field isn’t good. It’s a bad showcase for the club.
2: Having a hard time seeing Slisz as a DP level player. It just hasn’t been enough this season. Questionable decision making, questionable ball movement. So many questions, so few answers.
3: Our offense may be anemic, but our defense is stout. Abram continues to show why he deserves minutes and with how thin we are offensively being able to keep fresh legs on the backline has kept us in matches we probably wouldn't be in otherwise.
4: Saba sweet Saba. You are the shining light that we don’t deserve right now. He exhibits a skill that is simply on a higher level than the rest. But let’s be honest, even his skills represent the bare minimum of what it takes in this league to win. It’s just plain not good enough.
5:If Cohen is the heir apparent to Guzan his distribution has simply got to get better. Shot stopping is great, but unless we drastically change our playing style a keeper without confidence on the ball and in distribution will be a liability.
