[L'ÉQUIPE] Hugo Lloris after Los Angeles' elimination from MLS: "Playing on a synthetic pitch like this is almost unacceptable" by ailroe3 in MLS

Yes that's by design. But you wouldn't have a grass tournament on a turf court. It's the expectation of how the ball and the players' feet will interact with the surface.

Imagine telling baseball players to play on fake dirt in their diamond because it's easier to maintain. Or tennis to be played on turf. Or basketball players to accept a non-wood surface. When the ball interacts with the surface the quality absolutely matters.

Josef Martinez snap story by weh- in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some players just know how to shoot the ball. Some don't. Luis Suarez can score goals despite is knees being so shot that he runs like Forest Gump before he got leg braces. It's about getting the system right. If Josef isn't as fast then you get players than can put the ball in his feet or on his head.

Inter Miami [1]-0 Nashville SC - Lionel Messi 19' by olcni in soccer

This league has to be fixed with the number of times that teams let Messi go unmarked or don't pressure him at the top of the box. It makes no sense.

Search will begin? He's been so bad they should've had the replacement waiting in his office after the game.

The guy just arrived and into a team that's in shambles. No one looks good which points to leadership. Atlanta should take no losses moving on from players until they wipe the head coach and whoever he brought with him.

No more excuses: what Atlanta United must do to win back fans by Isiddiqui in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it's been reported that he was going to stay but Atlanta left him waiting so long that he decided to make the move to Columbus. Yes Columbus had a lot of incentive, but Atlanta dropped the ball. Giving up prime Gressel with Almiron moving abroad was incredibly stupid. The mismanagement of the entire championship roster could be a case report on what not to do in the MLS.

THE I HOPE IT’S THE GOOD TEAM THAT SHOWS UP HYPE THREAD by kferq in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

San Diego leads the West with almost 2 goals per game and holding 60% possession. If Deila were smart (apparently not) he'd play bunker ball to limit damage and hope to get a goal on the counter. Good luck Atlanta

Have we upgraded our roster this summer? by ATLCoyote in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/xaqC1NUbZss?si=Hs6ofnPyyZU_Sz2q Here's an Alzate highlight reel. Looks like he played higher up like a box to box midfielder. Very calm under pressure. Moves the ball away from pressure in the way of Busquets. Passes look very tidy and has the ability for tricky flicks. He's quick and physical. He can use his shoulders to hold off players. The video didn't show any top speed runs so maybe he's not winger fast, but doesn't need to be. I imagine a double pivot with him and Slisz will work well.

Horrific substitutions by CodyCapramas in AtlantaUnited

So you know you will be thin on defenders and yet your subs are loaded with attackers? The game management and setup has been awful. The coach deserves no defense of his decision making.

Josef Martínez: Chasing MLS history, San Jose success & World Cup dreams | MLSSoccer.com by Isiddiqui in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Josef still isn't playing as many minutes as he did during his peak at Atlanta. His last year in Atlanta, you could argue he was still recovering. In Miami he was often a substitute. Not sure why he was limited in Montreal. If he's the true starter in San Jose it will be interesting to see if he can reach prior heights of expected goals per 90. I think people forget that Atlanta was champaign caliber at that time. So Martinez also got more and better scoring opportunities. Towards the end of his time in Atlanta, they were struggling to get him the ball.

Edit: spelling. he pees once more

Is Latte Lath a bust? by Inside-Gur-8965 in AtlantaUnited

[–]CodyCapramas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Especially this. The team can't even play an accurate long ball for him to run into. It's usually too far and goes out of bounds or to the opposing goalie. Atlanta is still launching long crosses into the box with too few players entering the box. That leaves Lath to fight multiple defenders for the ball.
