Atrocious game from him. Almost gave up another one earlier with all the lazy passes back to the keeper.

I was going to say earlier that LB is a weakness for this team. Mora hasn’t impressed at all and it’s clear at this point that Fuchs cannot play LB in a back four. He can play inside or LCB in a 3-5-2 or a similar formation with WB’s but he simply can’t keep up with the pace of wingers when he’s isolated as a LB.

Atlanta fan – I attended the game. Actually entered the Benz with with CFC fans, who were out in surprising force and lively throughout (drums, banners, chants, etc.).

Kahlina put in a MOTM performance – fantastic showing. Entire stadium was buzzing after a few of those saves.  Fuchs is obviously (still) a classy player, but he doesn't have the pace to play out wide in the MLS anymore.

Good match, we’ll see you again soon!

I am super excited for this team. A year ago I would never have been watching MLS and now I have a team to route for! Ben Bender is going to be a fantastic player for us until he gets shipped off to Europe. I am excited to see his growth. I was super impressed as a rookie he was doing corners on both sides. I have no expectations from this team this year and hell probably next year but they looked worlds better in the 2nd half than the 1st. This team will grow and when we get more speed on the wings and more consistent play in the middle we are going to be fun to watch!

There’s some talent there.

We have two roster slots open heading into the summer transfer window which is the big window for European transfers.

It will be interesting to see what this team looks like in mid July.

If they can find a better LB than Fuchs and maybe move into a CB role, then I think that would solidify the back. As it was mentioned, he got exposed as the game wore on. The team is not far off

Looks like a 4-4-2 tonight, maybe a diamond with the four in the midfield.

GK - Kahlina - (Marks)

LB - Fuchs - (Armour/Mora)

LCB - Makoun

RCB - Corujo - (Walkes)

RB - Lindsey - (Afful)

CDM - Alcivar - (Jones)

CM - Franco - (Ortiz)

CM - Bronico - (Ruiz)

ACM - Bender (I list him as an ACM but I think he’ll play a false 9 today)

LS - Rios

RS - Swiderski - (Gaines)

Potential subs are behind the starters.

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
