2022 Charlotte FC Game Thread

Lloyd and Eric out here trashing the team selection lol… you love to see it.

[MillionDollarCam]

And the front office isn’t off the hook either… waiting until deadline day to get your transfers when your team is in need of reinforcements for a playoff push is fuging ludicrous.

A bright spot in last night’s game: Malanda. dude looked like such an upgrade and I think he’ll pair so well with Carujo. 
 

Really need Santos and Byrne to get starts the rest of the season just to see what they’ve got

[MechaZain]

Vargas's development has been nice but it's a shame it's happening at Reyna's expense. Wish they could share the field more. 

Bronico's finishing is worrisome. He's real good at being in the right place at the right time, if he can lock in he'll be great.

Malanda was great, didn’t look out of place at all.

So over the “build out of the back” bullshit. How about, on goal kicks, we just boot them? Might not give up goals that way

Sat this one out for college football, looks like I didn’t miss anything.

I wanted to hope we could get a win after I sat through App’s loss in Boone. I was too tired to care by the end of this fiasco

Tepper entered the pro sports majority ownership game in 2018. Since then, he's guided:

- a second-half collapse by the 2018 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2019 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2020 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by the 2021 Panthers
- a second-half collapse by 2022 Charlotte FC

You know what to do, 2022 Panthers.

[Carl Spackler]

It's as if he just tunes out at midseason and stops caring.

I take that back, it's not as if he does it. It's what we should all do.

Soccer and football are 2 very different things. You only get 2 short windows in soccer to bring new people in vs football where you can make trades and signings all season

Plus, MLS is different in how contracts and money are structured. Only DP players can be paid w/e. Everyone has like a cap of $1.5M. That’s how Toronto landed 2 studs from Italy. They had 2 DO spots open. We’re a first year franchise, learning how MLS operates. What were you expecting?

You realize there's a trade deadline in the NFL, right? You can't make trades all season. 

And the expectation was not to run one of the two lowest-salaried teams, fire the coach and go on a long second-half skid.

From now on I feel like we should invest in dp players in the midfield. They have much more effect on the game then someone like Karol. We never attack from the midfield now because we don't have the talent so our attack from the wings cross it in and hope for the best is easily defended unless you play in a perfect cross

[MtnJax]

Just suck that the one DP MF we have can’t even see the field. I think we need to buy down Alcivar and Joz’s DP contracts to open them and then save them for legit DPs like Toronto did
