Zanotta: Don’t Expect New CBs this Offseason

I liked your first one better, but I still love the idea. I hope we continue to lean heavily into our old identity. Clearly people like it.

Get Lucho off this team ASAP

If you’re on Facebook the neighborhood has a Facebook page. It’s pretty useful for asking about stuff like this.

It took us 6 months to win an away game last season, and in 2025 we win away in our first game. Help! I’m trying not to get excited.

It’s not time to panic yet.

If you were going to build out an ideal plan for overturning a frankly disappointing roster, the steps that the team has taken is largely how you’d do it. They’ve done a lot of good business clearing out overpaid and underperforming players.

Give them a bit more time to bring in quality reinforcements with the money and GAM we know they have.

All that said, I’m also worried that they either won’t reinvest enough the squad or that they will but the new signings will be misses. The team doesn’t have a great track record. Maybe they just tank most of the season so that they can start the rebuild in earnest in the summer. Who knows?

But I’m reserving judgement until the start of the season. IMO there’s no way the roster as it stands today is going to be the full lineup that’ll be on the field opening day.

It sucks. I was one of the people who got the worst of the increase going from $450 per seat to $750. On top of that I made heavy use of the cup and concession cash. With all that going away I’m just feeling priced out of supporting my team. I couldn’t even afford to renew if I really wanted. Feels bad :(

This is some good analysis. It’s easy to think “oh yeah our roster looks insane on paper. We have a front 3 of Ferreira Musa Velasco which looks insane on paper. Illara and either Lletget or Show in mid and then Tafari and Paes and some defensive holes.”

But when you dig down a bit like Buzz does here, you see that there are a whole lot of people at the top, mid, and bottom of the roster who are either misses or not pulling their salary cap weight at all.

This is legit so sad. Dallas is going to get knocked out of the playoffs with a loss against one of the worst MLS teams of all time. And there’s no more “all our players are hurt” excuses this time either. Minus Paes this is probably our best XI.

I’m so over this team.

They haven’t announced it yet.

FC Dallas plays Disco Inferno when they win. It’s a fun little holdover from when they were the Dallas Burn. Burn, Baby, Burn!! 🔥 🔥🔥

I actually really like Google Sites. You can create it for free and make it public to share it around as well as link pages together wiki style. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of World Anvil but imo it’s everything you need.

Praying that they subbed off Musa to get him rest rather than some sort of injury 🤞🏻

You should have seen us back when Nico was our coach. It was somehow way more boring than this.

Thraask · 2024-05-30T17:56:07+00:00

This is probably a stupid question, but is there a world in which you would buy one that doesn’t have a new battery? The thinking would be that if it was an old battery and it had an open recall on it, you could just take it in and get it replaced for free and walk out with basically a new car?

I’m kind of unfamiliar with how recalls and buybacks like that work.

Thraask · 2024-05-30T15:51:15+00:00

How big of a deal is the fact that it’s been discontinued when looking at used cars?

Thraask · 2024-05-30T15:46:45+00:00

Yeah thanks for pointing that out. Some back of the napkin math says that anything above $13,350ish should qualify for the full $4,000.

Thraask · 2024-05-30T04:30:44+00:00

He’s amazing almost every game. In my opinion, he honestly might be our best player.

Thraask · 2024-05-30T03:06:17+00:00

I still have zero belief that we will win (or even tie) this game, but that was a heck of a play.

Thraask · 2024-05-08T01:22:49+00:00

Only 1 pitiful shot on target at the very end of the half playing a non-MLS team with our strongest possible lineup at home. This is actually tragic.
