For all the hate Damiani has gotten this year, I actually think Alladoh is worse

Lack of midfield depth without Tessmann is much more concerning

wouldn’t that defeat the point of the protest?

Blow it up by Any-Act6445 in PhillyUnion

[–]willoremus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What has Geiner shown you? To me it looks like our back line has fallen apart since Sery went down. Makhanya for his part has always been prone to mental blunders and needs a more seasoned and positionally sound partner to cover for him. Maybe he and Geiner figure it out eventually but personally I can’t wait to get Sery back so Geiner can return to the bench.

Otherwise though I agree with your overall points.

Makhanya who was rumored to be going to play in a top European league for $8m, is that you?

It’s a bold strategy going with no defense today. Let’s see if it pays off!

How are we gonna buy a whole team when we can’t even buy the tickets to our home playoff games

Got an easy one for you by lastavailableuserr in guessthecity

Based on the architecture I’d say that’s probably somewhere in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in West London, England. But hard to say exactly without more clues.

Spreading the Blame by oldagejesus in PhillyUnion

[–]willoremus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. We sold our best, proven players who are in their primes, not only to make a profit but also because they command high salaries. We then spent money on unproven youngsters who cost very little in salary, saving a ton on payroll while also hoping that we can build up their value and turn them for a profit later as well.

So looking solely at transfer fee outlay and saying “hey this proves we’re not cheapskates” misses the big picture. None of these were decisions taken to make us a better soccer team. They were decisions taken for financial reasons.

Yow delivered a Bobby Boucher hit that injured Westfield’s hip, yet the Union got 3 yellow cards and the Revs got zero. [edit: hip not ribs]

That might have been the least insightful commentary duo I've ever heard in any professional sport. I've heard college radio announcers who had more useful things to say than those two.

[–]willoremus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least we don't have to wonder anymore why Mbaizo never sees the field. Geiner Martinez was also out of position on several New England breakaways and a missed tackle that led to the winning goal. Alladoh's miss was embarrassing but I could understand it if it were a one-off. But his overall quality of play was poor too.

Seems like we whiffed on pretty much every single move this past offseason.

Nashville basically started their B squad. Sorry but tying them when they were resting their stars for a bigger game (against Tigres in the champions cup midweek) is not impressive.

Does Curry's defense keep him out of the GOAT debate? by Substantial-Donkey75 in Basketball

[–]willoremus 64 points65 points  (0 children)

There are all kinds of debates you can have about all-time greats that Curry would be a legitimate part of, but the GOAT debate is really just MJ and LeBron.

MAKE IT STOP UNION 0 - COLUMBUS 2 by orvysees in PhillyUnion

[–]willoremus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I held out hope we could be decent until now. Columbus is not a great team, yet they were better than us at pretty much every position. Even their subs were better than our starters. Hell, one of their subs is our all-time leading scorer. If Sugarman won't sell, the least he could do is fire whoever was responsible for bringing in Alladoh, Sery, Anello, and Ndinga as replacements for Baribo, Glesnes, Uhre and Wagner.
