The whole team has been bad this year, but royer seems to have lost a step. Bring him off the bench.
Don't want to see Barlow or stroud anywhere near the bench
Let's throw the new guys out there from the get go

Thats the thing though, this same exact point was true yesterday. There has been more than enough evidence. And yet its as if Armas is still the coach: we put in the guys who have failed repeatedly, when much younger players with higher upside, who actually performed as good or better in the rare times they had chances, continue to sit. We really need someone completely brand new to take over this team, and soon.

Tetteh at LW, Kaku in the middle. No more 4-2-2-2, simplify things and evaluate.
Still think if Tetteh sticks around it will be as a winger, its where he played this past season at LASK. I think putting him up top is for lack of better options.

Tetteh was brought here to be a forward. End of story.

Just like old times... We can't beat these clowns...
This is 99 in disguise.
Shameful.Best we could do is a draw. Probably a 0-0 because we can't score for shit.

Who are the young guys you have higher hopes for? Our bench looks just as bleak as the starting lineup for my money

Our coach was shit.
The academy went to shit.
The squad is shit.
The young guys are shit.
This is gonna be painful for a while longer.

hopefully Long is back. Davis is apparently out 2-3 weeks from the game on 9/4.
Yearwood should start as he looked good and consistently looked to pass forward. Looked energetic and actually looked a little annoyed people were not moving for a pass late in the game when down 3-0.
Forward - unleash the Tetteh (what else)
Play Mines on RW.
LW who knows - Royer (who has not looked good but who has?), Omir or maybe Valot.

Mines looked decent the only time he started and got some mins, and still yet to see Jorgey start/get solid minutes. Not saying they will be great, but given others failed with a lot of opportunities already, at the very least I want to see a pair of these 19/20 year olds play more. Instead it's more of Stroud and Barlow in the last game. As if we have not vomited enough watching these two already, and at 24/25 their upside is not as high as Mines/Jorgey.

I really don't see much upside at all from a lot of our kids. (the ones from USL anyway) A lot of them have willingness but that's not enough to progress.
Mines I'm concerned with his balance. It's not always just getting stronger, but balance is something you're born with. Same in hockey and football for that matter. He's only 20 though so I'm willing to give him some time.
Jorgy actually does have upside. He's one of the few. Good size, very good speed and athleticism. Turns 20 in a little while now. Shows flashes of skill on the ball
A lot of the others don't lend much confidence. Watching Yearwood replace CCJ was just a reminder of how athletically limited CCJ is.

Besides Jorgy, Omir and Mines I don't see any of them having the potential ability to contribute to the gameday squad of a good MLS team. But fortunately its relatively easy to turnover the bottom of the squad. I actually think Seagrist may have had a chance to succeed starting in USL, and maybe even doing some work at centerback, but this is a lost season for him.

Willingness is definately enough to progress just ask Wondolowski, Jordan Morris or any other professional.
Balance is trainable just like any other phsical/mental attribute within a range.
Thiewell is clear that is he looking for more talent to bring in but I don't think you can fill out all 23 senior spots this way.
Mines and Jorgy are youngest and seem to hold most promise. Omir - can be great but often disappears. That is progress as a pro - need to progress athletically, to consistently putting in solid shifts, to solid starter, then to higher level starter.
