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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
