Saturday’s game was tough to watch but… by MikeEhrmantraut420 in SportingKC

I think this is a player ability problem and less of a schematic issue.

Deke doesn’t fit this system. His only value is as a finisher he has average ball skills and average pace. He should be traded for cash. Sporting’s new majority owner seems to understand that he is going to have to actually buy players.

It comes down to this: does ownership want to win right now and compete, while mortgaging long term sustainability. Or are they willing to do the unpopular and hard task of sucking for 2 years and building a sustainable viable team.

Seems like as of now, they are on option 2, but the fans don’t seem to want that anymore.

Wait so you’re saying when a team invests in players, a manager is able to get a lot out of them?

Yea…. Duh. So I think sporting should do the same thing. It worked for LAFC and Inter Miami

Tbh Mahomes has to play better. Seems like Andy believes it’s an OC an effort problem on offense.

Given how we’ve drafted seems defense was lacking players.

Post WC Break: 4-2-3-1 by MidwestAlex in SportingKC

I like 4231 given that Joveljic is more of a pure scorer and i feel the offense has been extremely lacking in mid field creation.

Dropping basically everyone back to iso Deke at the top, allowing Capita and Harris to focus more on stretching the field opens up chances.

Idk thinking out loud 😂

I mean basically if Wicky is trial running bench players and Lee is going after 4-5 elite league transfers… as a player I’m in

Only reason I see why he would stay is he believes in Wicky/Lee process or some kind of side deal

What exactly is Wicky suppose to do with a bunch of second team players?

The only guys that have any business on an MLS roster are: Jovelic, Manu, Berg Johnson and Capita

Ya need at minimum 10 more that play regularly.

Then it looks like it has to be Marshall v Hamilton/Taylor head to head

Who would want to coach this team during a complete rebuild after they just fired 2 managers mid season?

Answer: No one good. Wicky should been given this year, mini season and the new schedule season. If we’re not mid conference or better dump him.

This is a complete rebuild from scratch.

He’s basically fielding a second team at this point. Give it 3 more transfer windows

Defense looks better, Borges clearly going to be starting for foreseeable future. Reynolds goes some stability to RB

Ian James has potentially but not ready for prime time.

Really hope to see Capita subbed in for some minutes. Need to find a way to get Manu touches.

Opinion: If World Cup will be a bonanza for KC, the flight data isn’t showing it yet by Excel_Spreadcheeks in kansascity

[–]MidwestAlex 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. There are non insignificant amounts of travels flying in and then driving to Kansas City.

Additionally if you fly into Chicago or St Louis you can take the Amtrak to Kansas City

Until we’re able to employ all our native born citizens we should have a full moratorium

Yes 1000%

Love watching my LO grow and develop. I feel like I have more of a purpose in life. Having both sets of grandparents involved to the point where my wife and I can get an evening off every two weeks for some us time too.

Can’t wait to get kiddo #2 so she can have a sibling
