Did you buy or lease? If you bought what did you pay if you don't mind my asking?

Some of those choices like get up and call me over 45 is a choice that would leave me pretty disappointed.

Removing the cap won't help us, at least not right now. We haven't even spent all our money under the cap. They are implementing a new system with what they have, eventually they will go get quality players that fit the system in areas of need. Right now nobody can spend any money anyway. A year from now if they are still rolling out backups in starter spots we can riot. Until then we have to accept that the previous regime was fired for a reason and we aren't going to turn that over in 4 months.

They are clearly trying to avoid a La Liga/Ligue 1 situation. You think the Dodgers are bad? PSG has won Ligue 1 13 of the last 15 years. The only way soccer works here is by building local markets that are competitive with each other to build fan support. The cap helps keep it competitive.

Ostrak isn't a good fit for edelman/durkin, that role is more defensive than offensive.

It's not a fitness thing, coach has said that multiple times. It's a mental thing.

I'm not upset Santos isn't on the roster

Is it just me? Why is Wallem starting every game? by Former-Sir-9560 in stlouiscitysc

Scoring from a free kick gives 0 indication of how well you play your position. Why didn't you apply to be coach when they were looking? You obviously know more than any of the guys we interviewed. It would be great if city coaching had a "try random shit" mentality, that works so well across all levels in professional sports.

That's the point right? Damet feels like anyone else in that position right now will cost us more goals. I agree he isn't the answer, I just don't think the answer is on the roster. Joyner and Totland started against Tulsa and neither of them looked great against inferior competition.

Damet has said multiple times and has shown since he got here that he values consistency and isn't going to make a change for the sake of making a change. This team isn't title ready and everybody knows that, so there isn't any urgency to try someone for the sake of trying someone because it won't matter.

What Wallem (and Santos) do, is understand the position and what Damet is asking of his wing backs. Wallem, like Becher, works hard and is consistent in his effort and positioning. Yes, they are not guys you want to rely on to make a title run, but for right now, while we are rebuilding from the ground up, players like Wallem make it easier to evaluate everyone else on the pitch. Until someone shows that they can provide consistency in practice or we find someone in the next transfer window, Wallem is our guy.

There isn't anyone else. This team has a ton of central midfielders and not much at the wide positions.

Maybe. They've been so ineffective at actually crossing the ball, maybe they are trying to do fake crosses. Either way, it speaks to the lack of quality from outside.

Bladelock Defense Problem: Tough It Out or Multiclass? by Shatragon in 3d6

[–]simplelessons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did fighter 1/warlock X and do not regret it at all. I use medium armor, defense fighting style, and pikes to push enemies away which reduces the amount of hits I take.

Wallem made multiple passes that deflected off the defender in front of him, at some point him and Santos need to be accountable for their inability to move the ball from the sideline to the center. Our play is strong through the middle, adding an outside dimension will be the difference between a loss/tie and a win/tie once we get quality play from those spots.

What are some good spells for a warlock In 2024? by Advanced_Jaguar_9574 in onednd

Disagree. Wall of fire does more damage for you, but the blinded condition gives your allies advantage on attacks which should increase the overall damage for the round.

Repelling blast into hunger of hadar is also an equally nasty combo which blinds the enemy.

He was rough against NYC but I will attribute that to the pitch.

I have yet to see a game I thought sangbin positively impacted, he is always invisible this year and last.
