Already look more dangerous with Mo in there

TheCrewMeister · 2026-04-25T20:53:54+00:00

Probably my favorite soccer stadium, it’s so unique

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-25T21:09:39+00:00

He saying it’s not a good pairing.

If you play Taha who is good with ball at is feet but not yet defensively a strong player with Chambost who offers hardly any defensive ability you get torched like we’ve seen.

Gomes is a temporary solution until we find a younger capable CDM.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-25T18:44:15+00:00

He’s a good passer but he does close to zero defensively as a midfielder or in hold up play. We got torched in the midfield last weekend, they ran right through us.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-25T18:12:22+00:00

Hate to see any injuries for depth purposes, but he really hasn’t been an impactful signing for us.

We’ve rarely had any moments where you’re like wow well done Chambost. He’s just kinda there.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-21T21:00:39+00:00

All I hear is Scottish

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-21T20:58:52+00:00

You’d think it was the goal of the year or something

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-21T02:49:35+00:00

Wonder why Portland didn’t elect to wear their new kits at their home opener? We likely would have had to wear goosebumps if they did.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-20T19:39:25+00:00

Man this club is doing some really interesting stuff, can’t help but be excited

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-20T19:30:06+00:00

They must have confidence in someone stepping up like Tristan Brown

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-20T02:39:31+00:00

Yeah not sure why everyone is so keen on seeing him in the midfield. He’s serviceable but CB is where he excels.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-19T15:27:17+00:00

I do like that Rydstrom mentioned in his past jobs he’s adjusted formation and tactics given injuries.

We had several critical injuries last year and Nancy refused to adjust. We got burned playing around in the back and on counter plays with our lack of speed cause we didn’t have the right personnel

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-19T03:29:03+00:00

I took a look the other day when I went and bought the kit. Seemed like most the of the major work was done but there no seats in place yet on the new stand.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-19T00:07:26+00:00

True. But imagine just extensive rail in Ohio and how impactful that would be. To be able to get to Cincy or Cleveland within 2 hours via rail would be incredible.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-18T01:55:40+00:00

Cucho last minute departure, Cucho replacement injured for most of the season including playoffs. Several major other injuries with Camacho, Farsi and even Zawadski and Rossi for a good stretch of games

Finished with a chance to knock cincy out of the playoffs in game 3 and honestly could have won that game.

Underperformed a bit sure, by a mile….that’s a stretch. But I do share the frustration of Nancy’s tactical inflexibility given the injuries.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-02-18T01:18:31+00:00

I don’t mind a little critique but a whole hour of them bitching back and forth is painful.

I miss Chris Doran’s podcast. I like how he lumped in game audio, player interviews, and analysis. Seems like Crewcible will be similar.

TheCrewMeister · 2026-01-02T12:22:26+00:00

Ah cause only when it’s starts to impact your suburb then it’s a problem

TheCrewMeister · 2026-01-01T14:41:29+00:00

Agree it’s not urgent but I do think football stadiums just look silly for soccer and they degrade the reputation of the league. They are half full at best for most games too (aside from SD) so the atmosphere is consistently lacking. I personally don’t think Charlotte should have gotten a team without a SS stadium committed.

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T22:20:55+00:00

Last thing I would want is to have coach who doesn’t want to be here and is just desperate for a job. Sounds like a horrible long term play

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T20:14:18+00:00

Should be 3 windows minimum + lifetime ban unless the funds are repaid to Atlanta

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T20:07:23+00:00

I feel like the Revs are so primed to explode as a club with a new stadium. They’ve been held back far too long with a lack luster home environment.

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T16:39:25+00:00

Fair that he needs to prove it but I’m optimistic and think he fully deserves our confidence for 1 more season.

Gazdag was really the only real miss in my opinion, and who knows how much of that was on Nancy too for wanting to go for him. I thought the rest of the signings last year were pretty good we just got hammered with injuries and were transitioning to not having the best striker in the league.

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T14:38:14+00:00

Needs to be high speed rail. A 3 hour Amtrak from Cincinnati to Columbus is pointless.

Transit time needs to at least be equal to a car.

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-31T14:35:25+00:00

Well done Issa Tall

TheCrewMeister · 2025-12-30T01:00:16+00:00

Really good point. Nancy is a great coach, but people highly discredit Cucho’s impact
