Let's continue to complain about average players who are no longer here

18 March 2024 - 05:03 PM

For anyone peering over the edge, take a breath and take a step back. Crew lost multiple away games by multiple goals last year, away games in MLS are tough even for the eventual champs

Well, one good thing (for us) about MLS is that you can lose shit ton of these games and still make play-offs and have a shot. Lack of quality though in multiple positions, weakened by Schnider, is concerning longer term.


Some people think Luquinhas didn't suck that much

Not me. Luquinhas wouldve gone down as if hed been shot. Would have drawn the penalty. We are already missing his contributions.

:) Yes, he would have gone down for sure and we would likely win this game, and from what I remember of this play, it was a legit foul that clearly impacted Forsberg: by the time he regained balance he was not in as good position. Going down here would cement a PK, but I will wait for iced1776 to post that play, which he said he will do later.

 

Speaking of Luq, I think he would have greatly helped in this game. We now have a situation where we finally got bona fide star player at 10, but the other 3 attacking skilled  guys are just not good enough: Stroud, Manoel, and Dante. If Luq played yesterday instead of Stroud or Manoel, I think we punch one in. Either he draws a pen or helps create just a few more chances to put over the hump.

 

It just felt like we just do not have enough bullets. We needed another skilled guy on offense (in addition to Morgan) to ensure we win this game, and we just don't have one. And  the bench looked VERY weak. We need another DP, and if some of you don't like Luq, that's fine, but it would be a shame to waste Forsberg by not getting a few more good skilled players to help.


Some people still obssess about Kaku the quitter

Kaku was trying to jump ship about 3 weeks after Armas took over. I think he had his escape plan fully in motion long before he ever learned Struber's name.

He was unhappy Armas benched him. But when Carnell took over he was back in good graces and played well. Struber came and immediately benched him. So, yeah maybe he would have left anyway, but maybe not. Struber benching his best attacking player didn't help the matters, and also didn't help with the play-offs outcome.
