I want to believe that Lattanzio has learned you can’t just park the damn bus when you score early. MAR did that same poo a few times and it burned us then too 

That flick from Swidz was filthy and I’m glad Bronico finished it off. Gaines made himself useful tonight

 I feel like Vargas’ start for wasted because we were so defensive in the first half after that goal. He was playing way too deep in the CLT half and looked unsure of himself on the attack. He really only got that one good shot off

Yeah I didn’t understand the philosophy in the first. If you want to get to half at 1-1 or nil-nil that’s fine, but you have to dink the ball around the back to at least give yourself a break. I felt like when we weren’t defending we were just clearing it right back up the field to NYCFC.

In the second half we started pressing much higher and overall we just looked much quicker.

It’s pretty much why I’ve gotten off the CL train. He has gotten the team to play better since taking over. I don’t think we’d still be in this playoff hunt under MAR, but his tactical decisions just aren’t consistent. First half, we were clearly looking to counter with long balls and it worked…once. After that goal they were playing deeper on Gaines’ side to kill his effectiveness and pressing everywhere else.

The 2nd half tactics should just be the tactics all the time. A consistent plan from game to game and just get good at it

Yeah and as you mentioned the philosophy in the first half was really useless when it came to evaluating a player like Vargas.

Nonetheless, glad to get all three points and still be in the hunt.

I’m also hopeful that by September, our new arrivals: Santos, Byrne, and Malanda, will all be available.

Lattanzio said Malanda had an appointment in France and could happen by Sunday and that Byrne and Santos were approved and just waiting for appointments in their home countries

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
