FT

Charlotte FC 0 - LAFC 5

MAR stated that he isn’t Harry Potter and can’t do magic… it appears Lattanzio is not a wizard either.

A thorough ass kicking tonight via an LAFC team that was without two of their best players (Bale and Chiellini).

The wheels have fallen off and you can start to see it in the way the team plays and addresses one another on the pitch.

To make matters worse, Charlotte FC travels to NYCFC next weekend in what could be another ass whooping.

We’ve staved off these type of ass whoopings all season, which is admiral tbh. I had low expectations going into this season as an expansion team, so the way we’ve played for the most part has felt like house money. I honestly expected these types of losses more often than not

The MAR aftermath is really starting to hit especially since we’ve basically offloaded an entire starting midfield. I think we all realistically knew Bender would have growing pains and hit a wall. McNeil is pretty much looking like a CLT Independence player in MLS. Great energy but outmatched for the most part

Fuchs and Afful are cooked. Sobocinski and Malinda should be the CBs for the rest of the year next to Walkes. Byrne should slot in immediately at RB and honestly, try Lindsay at LB. Mora has done well but he’s slow

Winter transfer window will be huge. They should buy down Alcivar AND Jozwiak’s DP contracts to open them up. Would love Shinyashiki back but there’s obviously something going on there if he’s not even sniffing the pitch.

Year 1 was always going to be a pain, we just held it off longer than most. I’ll still watch the games b/c I’ve honestly enjoyed the season as a whole and having a MLS team to root for. Going to home games are fun and I hope that atmosphere stays

TLDR; read it

All very good points, I also think there is something going on with Shinyashiki. Almost seems like they’ve given up on re-upping his contract and now he can’t get time on the pitch.

Also agree with buying down Jozwiak and Alcivar.

I’ve also enjoyed having an MLS team to root for, though I might as well be rooting for two because that’s how bad Man United has been to start the season.

Good post.

I had a thought last night, but Bender seemed to have most of his best games when we were playing the 4-4-2 and he was playing as a wide midfielder vs playing central. We’re already crowded on the winger but maybe that’s where Bender might be best right now. He really doesn’t seem to do much centrally in the way of controlling possession. Guess we’re committed now to the 4-3-3 but maybe something like a 4-2-4 could still make use of our wingers and give Swiderski that 2nd striker to play off when he was successful early on as well. Might as well experiment now that we’re likely out of the playoffs

That’s a despicable half of football.

At some point as a manger and as a player you have to realize that you have to have some sort of possession of the ball, even if it’s just knocking the ball around the back for a bit.

NYCFC dominated possession and ran us ragged, long term that’s going to benefit them when our legs are gone.

It’s going to take a miracle to come away with a point.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
