The one where Seattle looked rattled

1: Getting 3 points on any occasion is always a good thing. Even more so on the road against quality opposition. That being said, I think we were a little fortunate in how poor and how unlucky Seattle was. If we are going to make a run in these last games of the season, we have got to be more clinical in the final third. This game could have and should have been put away much sooner. Home or away, we need to be more ruthless. 2: Mosquera is an unrefined speed monster. You can see the energy and

1: 3 in the back hasn’t quite worked. 4 in the back hasn’t quite worked. Have we thought combining and going with 7? Ronald struggled in the first 45. Azul overloaded him and he was often caught in a tough spot having to almost mark two at once. I’d like to see us be able to adjust go to 4 in the back on the fly if need be before a half time talk but we also don’t quite have the personnel with the quality or versatility to do that. 2: We showed more energy and than we did against Miami. Great

The one where we can’t stay stable in the table

1: Heavy legs sums up this game. The contrast in energy was pretty stark and that was the quietest I’ve ever heard the Benz. Orlando definitely looked like the team with a full week between matches. We just weren’t making enough runs in behind or closing down space in our own third quickly enough. Very static all around. 2: Losing Chol so early really f’d things up. He looked really good until he went down. Considering he’s really a depth player as is, we don’t have more/better depth to replace

The one where we aren’t Berry good without a 9

2023/07/13

1: The prevailing take from most is that our recent defensive success was been strictly down to having 3 CB’s. I contest that that individual performances were of more consequence than the systems itself. New England’s first two goals come from a mistake from Brooks (who honestly just got a little unlucky) and Sosa. Our last two matches were largely devoid of those mistakes. It’s not just the formation. 2: Berry is such a known non threat that we actively avoid targeting him for anything. My lord

The one where we Poutine a good performance

2023/07/10

1: We’ve been much better defensively these past two matches. Like, night and couches better. We’re blocking shots and cutting off crosses and key passes before they can tune into real chances. Moreover we look comfortable and more aware and switched on. It’s been nice to see less last ditch emergency defending. 2: Berry is the most peculiar player. I don’t think he’s completely incapable. Truly if he was just more dialed in, and proactive instead of reactive, I think he would be serviceable as a

The one where Curtain is maybe not so certain

2023/07/03

1: Well that was a very organized, one might even say, authentic performance. For me this is our best showing this season. When you take into account, the clean sheet, the quality of the opponent and losing Georgios, this was pretty damn complete. So why now and not against NYRB? I don’t really know. Yes home field plays a role, but we largely played how we like to play, albeit with some different players, but overall I thought we just executed better. 2: Happy to see us play with more aggression

01:04:56

The one where we Nick’d a result

2023/06/23

1: Tyler Wolff’s goal to salary ratio is getting more and more impressive. He’s got a goal scorers instinct. Tonight he did show other areas of his game that need developing and that’s completely ok. Things he needs to learn can be taught, things he already has cannot. 2: Good quick response to going down early. Not something we’ve done a lot of actually lately. Usually takes us a while to get going and respond. NYC tried to pull a Memphis 901 and press a young rotated side and to their credit,

The one where we need to be hungry like Tyler Wolff

2023/05/30

1: Another lack luster performance. We just can’t seem to put together a full performance on offense and defense. It’s one or the other. Tonight the defense was there and the offense was not. Clearly build up and playing through the midfield was not happening so short of making subs, we have to recognize that we need to adapt and then execute. We have the ability and the talent up top to go direct and for our direct play to be more than simply huffing forward and hoping. We can actually be

The one where we have the boom but still leave too...

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/05/22

1: The overwhelming majority of takes prior to the start of the match we’re in regards to the lineup selection. Not starting Miles or Sosa and starting Berry again had people feeling a certain way. I had questions as well but I also understand that playing 3 games in 7 days necessitates changes and well the team looked pretty good to me. We took more shots and better quality shots before GG took the field. Shoot, even Berry was more involved and he did in fact win the free kick that lead to the

01:00:12

The one where we don’t go without Georgio

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/05/15

1: When we have a total of 4 shots 1 on target in the first half, it’s not nearly good enough. Any time we showed any semblance of a threat it came down the right via Brooks’ excellent service or, surprisingly enough, a bit of brilliance from Luiz. To be fair, game state does matter and once Charlotte got their goal it changed everything. They set up in their mid-low block, were compact and disciplined. We just could not break their lines and Berry did not make himself available for anything over

01:18:14

The one where the king took a knee and all three

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/05/08

1: Josef Martinez scored 2 tonight. Good for him. I’m genuinely happy for him. Moving him on was still the right decision for Atlanta. Miami had both their goal scorers out there tonight and what happened? They won. They’ve got 6 losses because Campana hasn’t been there and this other guy Josef hasn’t been scoring. What have we been missing in our losses? We struggle without a true 9, as so many teams do, and we have yet to solve the back up 9 issue or get consistent goals from the wings or

01:16:09

The one where it was free to watch us lose 3

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/05/01

1: Sucks to give up a goal. Sucks even more to give up a goal to an unmarked man on a set piece when you’re largely in control of the match. They really did not have much in terms of chances from open play in the first 45 and you never got the feeling that it was coming so to concede like that really hurts because it affords the opponent the opportunity to sit back and protect that cheap lead. 2: We’re missing Georgios. Chol is an interesting player but he’s not an out and out striker and that

56:25

The one where we Juanted it more

2023/04/24

1: Ok I dunno 😆. There’s a couple ways you could look at this match. One view says we gotta start closing out games confidently. It’s concerning how we shoot our selves in the foot at the end. It’s really unfortunate that it almost came from a player who’s been among the very best for this team. The other view is that we did manage to break that narrative and get a W when we clearly were nowhere near our best. Champions find ways to win and today with a little bit of grit and a little bit of luck

The one where he chopped but got stopped

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/04/18

1: We dropped two points. There’s plenty of good things to take away from this match, but first and foremost, we missed out on a statement win. Actually one of the positive things that I take away is that the whole team is looking at it that way too. That’s the the mentality I want. A draw isn’t good enough. Especially when the win is right there. We expect more. Two road draws is by no means a poor result, but with the table often being so damn tight at the run in, this might be a game we look back

47:32

The one where we get ejected but not dejected

1: This team is good y’all. Both of the “New York” teams are arguably our toughest matches because of the unique challenges each opponent offers. And TBH every team struggles with them. Red Bulls because of the ugly style of play. NYCFC because of the postage stamp they play on. We played some pretty good football against both. And tonight we managed to get the first goal whilst down a man. I’m really happy with the performances and more importantly the consistency. 2: Ibarra is finally a take

01:05:06

The one where we are full of bullief

2023/04/03

1: As much as a person is capable of hating something, I hate the Red Bulls. They have no interest in playing soccer and are the antithesis of Atlanta United. Probably why, after 7 seasons, we hadn’t beat them in the regular season. I was very nervous in the opening minutes because we seemed to be playing right into their hands. But fortunately we got the early goal which, is always important, but doubly so against the Bulls. 2: No I seriously, I really hate the Red Bulls. This isn’t the kind of

The one where sometimes our matches are Columbusts

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/03/27

1: We can lose, but we cannot lose like that. Tonight was unacceptable. Full stop. At least we dirtied their clean sheet but, good grief. This cannot happen. 2: He’s a 10 but he’s not there. With missing a player like Almada we knew coming in that we might be lacking a little in the creative playmaking department. So the plan had to be force turnovers and errant passes early and often. We failed to do that. Columbus had the ball glued to their feet and we just simply couldn’t get it off them. In

The one where it’s better than bad it’s good

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/03/20

1: In addition to the chemistry we’re seeing on display and the great attacking soccer, we’ve also got something we didn’t have last year, luck. I’m honestly a little surprised VAR called the screen on Portland’s goal. It’s a Goalazo and I don’t think Brad is getting there no matter what. But to win titles you need a little good fortune and we’re finally getting some. 2: Caleb out here trying to break some kind of record for how many consecutive takes he can appear in. I’m running out of

The one where we put on a Wiley performance

Five Takes On The Five Stripes ·

2023/03/12

1: Well that was quick. We haven’t seen that kind of fast and decisive attacking movements in the attacking third, with final product, in some time. We came out flying and caught Charlotte off guard. We have of course started fast before, but the difference this time is we put the ball into the net. Charlotte finally responded after the 2nd with some intensity of their own and a couple half chances but we did not concede and we did not wilt. We did what we have not done enough, step on the opponents
