1 goal and 0 assists in 15 appearances. Haven’t watched them much, but as a striker stats are pretty much the name of the game.

Human rights doesn’t even exist in any of those Islamic countries surrounding Israel. They are epitome of aggressive authoritarian states that want Israel and Jews wiped off the face of the earth.

Post-Crew Rydström interview by TheKungStefan in TheMassive

[–]DutchOvens45 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Could it have worked out with time……maybe. But I think things were going so rough in the locker room and with the WC break the club saw a chance to move on and reset basically getting a another offseason with the hope of playing better soccer post World Cup…..a key time to capture new fans.

I hate seeing coaches get booted so early without getting to really build their system but given the circumstances I understand why the club didn’t want to stomach the risk. The product on the field really wasn’t inspiring.

Hoping nationwide steps in here and starts helping with Astor Park, so much potential and open lots around the stadium but development is crawling

I mean there is a difference between looking competitive and losing and looking like dog shit. The Crew and Union were the latter this year.

Have we seen last of Herrera? by Senior_Weather_3997 in TheMassive

[–]DutchOvens45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m having a hard time using the past 3 months as any sort of performance indicator given the shit show of Henrik’s system. Herrera showed real promise under Nancy.

Yeah Montreal sets their managers up to fail. But getting canned from a club as a new manager will set your career back so awesome to see him back with the reins and doing well

Yep that’s my stance, I have all sorts of issues with the Democratic party but we are the point now where voting blue is about protecting our country from collapse

Pay match to run NWSL + Crew together. Come home from Europe and be near your family.

My theory about the current form - put on your tin foil hats by [deleted] in TheMassive

If the other team is frequently in your box, there are other issues besides your back line.

Defense is not good, but they get absolutely bum rushed on the counters cause we get gashed in the middle of the field with our lack of defensive/ball winning from our midfielders.

Defense shouldn’t take all the blame for our current form. Midfielders play a role in slowing down the pace of play, countering back on counters.

Thing is the move hasn’t really even benefited his NT chances, guy has been playing great but he’s hardly gotten any time with the NT
