#1420215 Why does De Grandpre still have a job?

Posted by Koko on 20 October 2022 - 05:43 PM

I think there is a tipping point too where the stadium looks so empty on TV that casuals say "eh that looks lame, why bother". STHs make sure it never looks that empty.


I don't care about capacity. I would do season tickets again if I:

1. Believed in ownership.
2. Felt like I was being entertained.

Neither of those things are happening.

IF we lose all our home games,
BUT we win all our road games,
AND we make the playoffs,
AND we play all our playoff games AWAY,
THEN we win MLS Cup.

Great job by everyone. Great win.


#1406412 Tolkin's name is often misspelled

'Tolkien Black, formerly known as Token Black, is a male fourth grader at South Park Elementary and is voiced by Adrien Beard. His name is a play on words referring to the politically-correct idea of the "token black guy" commonly featured on American television shows; it is revealed in "The Big Fix" that his name is actually Tolkien.'

Basically our entire team has yet to enter their prime years. Why would we stagnate?


Because we have no difference makers and none of these guys will develop into one.

Nobody in Red Bull management has sold us as anything beyond a work in progress. 

We will always be a 'work in progress' under this ownership.

That's how they string along the remaining holdouts.  But even those fans will stop caring one day. Then the team will die a silent death. With no one in the stands to witness it.

Or they will sell.

Obviously I'm hoping they sell.

It's not just Klimala. Who sucks by the way. It's that we need a striker AND a creator on this roster. You want to argue that it's Morgan playing in a more advanced role? Fine. I don't think it wins us the Cup but I agree it is an improvement.

Klimala blows. I don't understand anyone at this point sucking his popsicle saying he makes nice runs and he gives a nice effort and he has good vision blah blah blah. Fuck that. As a forward it's your job to make nice runs and give a good effort and SCORE FUCKING GOALS. Furthermore he might make a nice run every now and then but he's wildly inconsistent. He gives up on plays. He dives at the slightest of content when finishing the play would've been a better option.  He absolutely sucks no doubt about it and he needs to be cut and replaced with someone who can actually score goals.

Adding a legit striker dramatically improves the squad. This is not a terrible team, but the offense IS horrible.

Not to beat a dead horse but Klimala sucks and we aren't winning shit unless we spend in attack.

Last two games our xG is hovering around 1.0. Need to try something different.


We need to try signing legit goal scorers.

It is a amazing opportunity for those guys...right there for the taking for anyone who can string a few months of good form together.

I wouldn't play Reyna or Pulisic at all in this game. They are both the type of players who draw lots of cynical following from opponents.  No need to risk injury for this game. 

If they are healthy I would play them for the first half. The job isn't done yet. Sure it looks good but we would all be kicking ourselves if we rested a bunch of guys thinking it was in the bag and then some thing terrible happened. On top of that I would like the two of them to get as many reps together as possible. They both had injuries off and on and we haven't had a chance to see them play together all that often. If we have any shot of winning the World Cup it's going to be because The two of them are on fire. Also with Costa Rica on so many yellows I'm not sure that they're going to want to dive into a bunch of concacaf type fouls. They are all going to be worried about yellows and they're going to be worrying about injuries of their own.  

on the other hand there are players on both squads whose place on the roster is not guaranteed. Guys will still be playing hard on both sides to impress their coaches. Tough decision to make but if Health is good I would play a number of my starters in the first half.

They should be able to beat Jamaica and panama with the b, c or d team.


It is this kind of arrogance that has fucked the top dogs in CONCACAF in the past.


#1404049 (No) attendance, again

Posted by Koko on 16 March 2022 - 05:16 PM

Sign a star and more people will show up more often. Easy as that. Fill the stadium? Maybe not, but attendance will definitely go up.

Before I had kids I would suffer however many hours it took to get to and from the stadium. No problem. No complaints.

Now?  Forget it. If I can't bring my kids I'm not likely to go and traffic is a real roll of the dice. Although if no one comes to the games it's not so hard I suppose...

Wasn't there talk at some point of adding an on-ramp to 280 towards the back side of the stadium?
