Interesting read.  While we sit and wait to sign nobody.


#1353866 The Fire Chris Armas Thread

Posted by RedBullCola on 16 September 2019 - 05:04 AM

What the hell happen to SKC? Would Peter Vermes be an option for us at all or would you prefer Armas again?


Vermes + spending on players would be great option.  

At the end of the day if we're going to have the second smallest payroll in the league we have no hope.

I'm pretty ok with Adams leaving, because Rza is a very, very good #6 and was wasted on the bench or in other positions.   I just want Davis to spend his entire off-season practicing shots from distance.   When he first started for us, he wasn't afraid to give it a go, but that's been lost, and something we desperately need.  

 

Is Valot the real deal?   Because that's the clearest need for an upgrade if he's not.   Despite Muyl's redemption, he still is never going to produce goals.  He has a Chuck Knoblauch/Steve Sax Syndrome brain fault when it comes to shooting.  

Bring in a talented winger and let Muyl, Ettiene, Ivan, Valot, fight for minutes.  Competition breeds quality.

What? Adams is our best player, his job isnt to create shots. As soon as that final whistle blew, we were instantly a worse team because he had played his final minutes here.


He is a guy who is great at running around.  
With Davis, RZA, Muyl, and apparently KaKu, how many guys in the midfield do you want that cant or wont shoot from distance? The game begged for some long distance shots, no one could deliver.

Enough of these supposed jack of all trades box to box guys.  Get me a true #8 and a true #10 and then we can do some winning.


#1337131 New contract for Armas incoming

Armas or no armas. We need talent. Enough of the over achievers. Time to bring in world class talent.

Where was BWP? This guy was absent the entire series. Other than scoring an offsides goal.  I dont want to hear about any statue.

Tyler Adams??? You dont win championships for running around.  Score or assist. If not defend. If I can sell him for 7mm good riddance.

Kaku.  Very disappointing.  Totally disappeared in second half nd playoffs.

Armas.. wow showed why this is his first Manager job.

Long way to recover boys.

The only thing i like from Armas interview is that he said from the open kick off were gonna empty the tank.   

 

That makes me more excited.

 

Remember the 7-0!!!

Everyone is bashing Lade but if you rewatch the goals I don't put him at any more fault for them than the rest of the back five.

Robles, for starters, should have had at least a hand on all three goals. His performance last night was a throwback to the Toronto one last year in which he should -- and could have -- made the save, but didn't.

Parker misread the header on the first one and allowed Martinez to go in 1v1 against Robles, even though Martinez had a poor angle. He gave up and was jogging on the third goal after misreading the pass.

Long...lazy jogging effort on the third goal with no attempt to stop the shot, despite being the closest to Villalba. That one probably decided the series. An absolute backbreaker. The MLS defender of the year playing like a scrub.

Murillo just had a horror show of a game, also jogging around and getting close to the goalscorers but not actually doing anything to prevent them. He had a courtside seat on the first one to watch Martinez beat Robles. I think his increased involvement with Panama's mediocre national team really messed up his season. He's been routinely awful as of late and combining that with his locker room issues (even though Armas should be gone too) I wouldn't be too miffed if he got shipped away this winter.

Lade could have pressed Larentowicz before the cross leading to the first goal but then he would have left Nagbe wide open in doing so. On the second he let Escobar become wide open but was covering Martinez who ended up dummying the ball to Escobar. It was a mistake for sure, but I think 9 times out of 10 any other defender would choose to cover Martinez in that situation too, especially since he looked like he was the one that was going to fire it on net.


Lade did not press Larenowitz, neither did Royer so he is at least half at fault for that. Parker had Martinez covered one on one. He had no reason to leave Escobar. Maybe shade towards the goal to cover a rebound but you cant leave him wide open when Martinez is marked.

They held back in the game. That was clear.

I want to see if Colombus can hold up against the press for 90 min.  Im talking the same press that overwhelmed chivas (no goal) and Atlanta.

No way. I just dont see this not being a beat down.  Cmon armas you earned respect.  Now turn that press all the way to 11!

Posted by RedBullCola on 25 August 2018 - 12:39 AM

Our goalscorers last seven games (discounting an own goal):
 
Royer, BWP, BWP, Royer, Royer, Royer, BWP, Royer, Royer, BWP.

So true this is. How refreshing was it  a few games back to see RZA come on as a sub and launch a couple of bombs.  Wasnt just that he scored it was that he had the balls to shoot.  But it appears he is back in a shell.

Lack of scoring from 3 mids is bad enough but when 4 midfielder cant score its an uphill battle from the get go.  I just dont understand why kaku n Davis dont shoot more often.  Muyl get on field and he shoots ( and misses typically).


#1330122 Should BWP get statue on entrance to RBA?

Posted by RedBullCola on 22 July 2018 - 01:41 PM

I appreciate him as much as any great player I root for.  

But if he does not win a cup... no statue.


#1324154 Marsch goes

Posted by RedBullCola on 21 April 2018 - 06:35 PM

The Supporters Shield is totally worthless this year so idgaf about winning it.  The only regular season goal worth pursuing is a first round bye.


Sorry can't believe we are to good for any trophy.

But if Marsch fails to bring one home this year he is 0-8 over the past 2 years, 1-12 over the past 3 years.  He has to go if he fails.
