Thank god I'll be traveling and won't be able to watch.


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Please please please move Royer back to the midfield and go back to a single striker. Royer can play that quick pass in. It's not that complex, play to your player's strengths...

i know in general we have tried to push this formation for a while.  But it just seems insane to try and push a formation with an extra striker this season without having any established strikers.  Instead of playing both Kaku and Royer in their best positions having them both at secondary spots just because we want to try out a football manager save file in real life is mindblowing.

The thing that's weird is that Royer and Kaku are both really well-suited to the attacking midfield 2 in a 4-2-2-2. They can play through the middle, attack from wide, and drift into open spaces, and they both do all of those things well.

The issue is that you need really good defensive midfielders behind them and really quick strikers ahead of them. We don't have either in the first team.

I think play by Royer has always been good to excellent in attacking midfielder role but his play as a striker been below average. Using Kaku as sub is sheer stupidity by Armas. There must be a better way for Stroud to be in starting 11. Maybe using him over Casseres. Teaming Royer with Kaku is really the right way for this team to play. I don't feel play by Barlow, Jorgensen or White are a key to winning play. Hopefully the striker will brought in will be the one to lead team to winning ways. :unsure:

how many days left on Yearwood and Tetteh quarantine? 

Can we get a quarantine countdown clock?


Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

If we are going to play the 4-2-2-2 again, maybe play Kaku as the second striker.  That at least puts him in the middle of the pitch where he's been most effective.  Watching the match last night, I thought Royer was often in a position on the pitch you'd expect to see a CAM in if we were playing the 4-2-3-1.

We don't have the players to play the 4-2-2-2, and even if we did, we don't have the coach for it.

Said this after the City match when RZA was playing there, if we arent going to play 2 pure CF/ST and continue to play the 4-2-2-2 thats where Kaku needs to be
