I sent an email to mls about match replays - if anyone has any ideas as to why they'd not offer them and or creative ways to get around this let me know.

Kaku is in the AFC champions league semi final after knocking out Ronaldo.

Was one of the best players over the two matches

leagues cup being all in the us doesn't really legitimize results.

Keep the 4231 and drop Manoel.

Gives us lots of options off the bench.

Switch to 4222 with either Manoel or Burke go to Gengar at RM instead of stroud if 4231 is working well and Dante is playing well.

Nice goal and 10 mins of highlights from a 2-2 draw on Aug 27.


Speed seems to be his biggest strength, looks to be more of a RW, attacking mid, but maybe will play RB or RWB if we go 5 atb.




#1443759 Is Vanzeir a bust?

Posted by Mibabalou on 04 March 2024 - 12:39 PM

What system was he playing in at USG?

He was scoring goals and even getting close to making a very good NT.

He's a bit of a throwback ST imo.


He's not tall, strong or fast. Not a great dribbler, but he's good on the ball and a good passer, crosser.


He will live and die by his positioning and finishing both have been sub par in the year we've seen so far. It's obvious the FO is giving him this year to get it sorted before giving up on him. He's clearly better than Kilmala and Jorgy but looking around in MLS im not sure he's a trophy winning ST.

Really should have 6 points from these two matches playing teams with rotated squads.


Hopefully Morgan can start.

I'd rather see 4231 than 4222

Dante
Morgan - Foresberg - Harper/Wiki/Stroud


I don't think Manoel is very good but seems all these coaches disagree....

Complicated situation but Napoli paid 10 million for Kvaratskhelia.

There are good players for 5/10 million but would they join mls sides is a question.

I'm a big fan of getting under 24 year old from South America and letting them use mls sides as jumping off point to Europe. Lots of talented players in South America for less than 5.

#1440219 Barlow traded!

Posted by Mibabalou on 13 December 2023 - 07:26 PM

Barlow is not just ok he is -10 in G-xG in his life

Meaning average finishing for all his shots taken would have expected to be 10 more in his life and has been negative in each season and it's crazy bc the worse park of his game would probably the whole dribbling and co trip to get a shot off and this state doesn't even take in and bad controls that  ruin his chances.
