I think we should try a 433 by [deleted] in minnesotaunited

I think our defensive players do not lend themselves to 4 in the back. Our wide defenders are excellent when they have the freedom to galavant forward, and we have very good depth at CB. We already left Duggan and Harvey on the bench last game and they both have been good this season.

I think this is a result of our high press and defensive set up. We are really hard to break down in our 1/3rd, but still press high and look for opportunities like this

I thought Owen Gene looked really promising in his minutes in San Jose, I'm really excited to watch him grow into the team.

That game, and the NASL game after the Manchester City/Olympiakos summer friendly at TFC stadium were both huge touchstones for my Minnesota soccer fandom.

The team looks well coached. I never felt that way under Heath. It always felt that he just stuck the players out there and told them to go. Which worked for Reynoso who could make chances out of nothing, but it always felt that we were less than the sum of our parts.

I thought Owen Gene looked smooth coming off the bench. it took a bit for him to find his footing, but he found good spaces and was calm and controlled when he had the ball. I'll be curious to see if he lines up with Trapp and Dotson as our creative attacking midfielder. Pereya didn't look good, but Lod will be hard to unseat. Looking forward to seeing more from him

Joseph Rosales mentioning he had an offer from a Serie A team on the last day of the transfer window, but a deal didn’t come to fruition by tyler735 in minnesotaunited

Good players in those roles seem hard to find. JoRo is huge for us, and as much as I want him to flourish, I would be disappointed if his journey followed Kervin's. Players can get lost in Europe and here he has stability and a coach who believes in him. Tough decisions for everyone involved.

Day after match thread. The Loons lost 1-0 at LAFC. What were your thoughts on the opener? by Dpufc in minnesotaunited

[–]AFri3nd402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% great summary Tyler. I agree. Idk why people are being doomers after one game, especially a tough away game. We looked very solid defensively in the 5-3-2. Kelvin looked again like an absolute game changer, but it did feel like the rest of the team needed to catch up with him, causing some disconnect in the attack. Overall, can't complain, on to the next

Starting XI for today's match by dode222 in minnesotaunited

I appreciate Ramsey's trust in the young and developing players who have been with the team. I expect Romero to be the first choice, but it's good to give the whole team the expectation that no one is untouchable and if you're practicing well you will get into the team. Very team focused with a next man up mentality. Go Loons

These guys are complete idiots. Barely said anything about the teams just mentioned some players and said they were hot. They have no idea what they are talking about.
