2022 Charlotte FC Game Thread

[MillionDollarCam]

It’s unfortunate, but unless there’s some sort of heroics here at the end, Charlotte will fall to 10th, completely out of the playoff picture.

Taking Reyna off was one of the most foolish things that Lattanzio has done during his time as interim manager.

Tepper loves limp dick coaching.

Thank God the EPL is back on because our season is effectively over.

Overall, the organization really dropped the ball during the transfer window… our three transfers probably won’t be available for at a minimum of two weeks… by then, we’ll be completely out of the playoff picture and the season probably will have unraveled.

Reyna just makes things happen. Why take him out??????

Great question, I’d love to know as well.

Has anyone seen three pro franchises in one city been so fuging Inept because of poor coaching like the Panthers FC and Hornets?  This city sucks at sports.

Another thing that needs to mentioned is the selfish play of our side.

I mean this is high school stuff… two goals could have been scored tonight if the individual on the ball picked their head up.

1) Gaines decided to take a shot on goal from a tough angle when he could have laid one off to Swiderksi at the penalty area for a sitter.

2) Alcivar decided to take a shot on net (that was deflected for a corner) when he had both Swiderski and Bronico with him; either player would have been in on goal if Alcivar made the pass.

I don’t know if these guys are watching film or what, but these scenarios happen nearly every match.

I don’t particularly like Swiderski’s body language when things don’t go his way but I’m now starting to understand why he does it. The poor vision and selfishness of the team is starting to cost us points.

Hopefully Santos brings over some of that vision from the first tier Portuguese football he’s been playing.

A little dramatic,  we need 50 points we aren't out of it. They will probably go out and win next match. They just aren't consistent but they're goof enough to get to 7th

Hope I’m wrong, I just feel like our schedule is brutal down the stretch.

Yeah I'm surprised he hasn't been carded more. He gets whiney and then pushy with opposing players. But completely agree, a lot of is justifiable frustration.

I wouldn't call it selfishness though. We just have no vision up the middle whatsover. Too reliant on attacking out wide and our forwards are not creative enough to score like that consistently. Our crosses are ok but we only play at the right pace for them when counterattacking. I really think Santos is going to be huge for us. Swiderski in particular should just be getting fed the ball and not have to create as much as he has.

Charlotte enters tonight’s contest 4 points out of 7th. I personally don’t think we can afford to drop points tonight, and at the very least need to come away with a draw to have any chance at the postseason. Unfortunately, we are matched up against an LAFC team that has only given up points in 7 of 23 contests this year.

With our coaching do you believe we can compete?? The team just looks selfish and our assignments look very piss poor.   Not a lot of faith in Coach L.
