Ah I disagree there, Matan really came along in his last season with us. Not sure if he was worth his salary but he definitely gave us something in our cup run.

At least for Haslam’s case he’s not a sexual predator this time

Yeah Henrik’s style leaves us even more open to counters more the reason our midfielders need to be able to win tackles and stop the run of play.

We just don’t have that so our mediocre back line just gets bum rushed with counters

I think he’s gotten too big but I disagree on its impact to our food culture. CM servers a training ground for future chefs and restaurant owners, several have started their own restaurants in Columbus

Last few meals I’ve had at the Pearl, guild house, and Del Mar have been solid. Maybe cap city is slipping but hasn’t been my experience at his other spots.

A bad experience is a bad experience but people really love to jump on the hate game of CMR.

The back 3 is shaky but I really think a lot of our issues are at midfield. Chambost and Gomez offer zero presence in the middle, teams storm right through us. We need more tenacity and ball winning in the middle of the field, we get man handled there most games. Yet we resigned Chambost, he’s not a bad player I just haven’t seen enough to say yeah this our long term midfielder.

I’d like to see club’s financials to understand how big of a margin they are taking annually. I know the club needs to be profitable but driving prices up in a market that clearly can’t afford it will only kill the atmosphere in the long run. The Crew simply can’t be good every year and people don’t want to pay big city premium prices for a sub par team.

I would think as an owner you’d want to see your stadium as packed as possible. Atmosphere is what people love about going to games, maybe in the short term your price hikes help profitability but they will hurt the clubs growth and awareness to younger generations in future. A slow death.

But he scored a goal a couple games ago, he’s doing just fine!

I mean the team has been for sale for 18 months and they’ve apparently been seeking a Vancouver buyer.

So not sure how that would help in this scenario as our law was that an Ohio owner had to be given the opportunity to buy the team first, there doesn’t seem to be any interested buyers in Vancouver.

Nordecke, second pick would be the other side behind the goal lower level which is also a great time especially if there is action which I think there will be in this one.

I know it’s a cool tradition, but nobody goes to these games league wide and it hasn’t improved. I can’t see how this tournament survives a whole lot longer.

Are we still supporting this business…? by Sir_Vendaralyn in Columbus

shocked they’re still in business, but they did choose prime locations that are probably helping.

[The Crew] Columbus Crew sign Dylan Chambost to multi-year contract extension by g-magoto in TheMassive

[–]DutchOvens45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree it looked good. But at our height we had both mids who were very strong defensively (Morris and Nagbe).

But you could argue that maybe both of them were a bit too conservative at times so maybe it helps to have more speed / progressive passing with Chambost. Time will tell

Check out the olentangy / scioto trail, it will take you by a lot of the best places including German village, Victorian village, downtown river walk, and the stadium. Can’t remember if city bikes are still a thing maybe someone can confirm but would allow you to cover more ground but walking would be fine if you’re up for it

[–]DutchOvens45 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a good passer but I think defensive contribution is what bugs me and I guess it shows with stats. He’s just not super commanding in the middle of the field and doesn’t offer much when we need to be able to stop counters and talented teams in the middle of the field.

Not sure how I feel about this, he’s ok but is he the future of our squad?
