Struber coached a great game

 

Looks like there are still ppl on twitter holding onto the 'Struber suxx' narrative. 

 

One of many reasons why listening to sports podcasts hosted by non-pros/non-coaches is a complete waste of time.

The most impressive play of the entire game was the pass by Mukhtar to Muyl for the goal that was called offsides.  That is the type of pass no player on RBNY would even attempt to make, much less be capable of completing.  With Kaku and Klejstian we had guys who could make those sorts of passes which are so important to exploiting a team that is on the back foot after giving the ball away to the RBNY press.  The press is great at creating situations that a can be exploited by a creative and skilled passer of the ball.  The team is currently creating those situations pretty frequently but they don't have the personnel capable to really exploit it. 

 

This is the danger of thinking the system is the star. Once the ball is won, there still has to be a guy or two who are precise with their passes to the striker. Luquinhas isn't that type of player, Morgan seems to be more off a finisher. But that's what happens when you spend the minimum amt for a DP.

One game playoff each round, higher seed hosts, that was ideal.

...and our backline stays healthy [and avoids YC/RC suspensions], I think we are contenders.

 

 

Big ask.

#1424791 *Sigh* Another preseason

Posted by Eleazar on 12 February 2023 - 12:08 PM

I wouldn't waste my time. I don't wanna hear bs stereotypical lines from the front office and players or listen to fans asking questions.

Just field a team that wins and competes for trophies. That's all I want.

 

100%
