Team’s passing really well rn. Meram is a pro’s pro, I’m sure Lattanzio loves that guy

Here’s what Latty said postgame. Still pretty vague

 

Here you go…. He actually does go into detail but for some reason topbin90 shorted us.

Sounds like over the past few weeks we have been changing tactics. Lattanzo didn’t share specifically and did say we were full switched over yet…. However , I have to assume it’s us no longer playing out of the back line and playing big balls to setup wing play and forward play. 
 

I like.

Same. That was some weird poo. Why even sub him on in the first place?

I think if Jan didnt pick up that yellow as early as he did he probably wouldn't have come in, but the game was getting pretty chippy at that point and we're not in a position to lose more defenders to a potential red card.

Huge 3 on the road in a rivalry match. We will see very quickly with a home match on Wednesday--are we turning this around?

[backINblack28]

while we had a pretty short bench in ATL and did fine, sounds like we will still have health issues tomorrow.

Jozwiak, Gaines, Bender, Marks, Corujo listed as out, Vargas is questionable.

Sounds like we get good news on the back end though as Tuiloma, Malanda & Mora have no more injury designation.

Hope we can keep things going against Chicago and Nashville

WilliPStyle on twitter is the radio PBP dude who had this specific tweet/info

Topbin90 and Caleb Adams are must follows as well

[MtnJax]

Glad we got a dub. I didn’t watch, instead choosing to watch racing return to my hometown at North Wilkesboro Speedway

What a night for the kid! Brandon Cambridge came on as a super sub and potted both goals and Meram picked up an assist on one of the goals. To think that we got Cambridge from Vancouver for 50K in GAM, we essentially paid 50K for a win.

Those massive three points temporarily bump us up to seventh.

Ref tried to steal this one from us. Exciting win and the stadium was lit.

That ref was horribleeeee omg

- Awesome finishing from Cambridge. There will be calls to start him but I think he and Lindsey's skillsets compliment each other well and should give Lattanzio lineup versatility

- GREAT game from Malanda. Anchoring that back line. Best single defensive performance I've seen from anyone on the team.

- One of Swiderski's worst matches. Choked a lot of opportunities and just seemed a step slow to everything.

-Lattanzio really got it together right when things were looking bleak. I think the veteran leadership of Westwood and Meram plays a large part of that. They're playing like a real team now instead of looking lost out there.

I really like that we are playing a high line. It can lead to easy through balls as it did last night resulting in Chicago’s lone goal but for the most part it really allows us to hem in our opponents in their own end. Through the first 25 minutes of last nights game the possession was 80-20 in favor of The Crown because when we gave up possession we were winning the ball back so far up the field that it was just constant pressure on Chicago.

Westwood, Jones, and Bronico deserve a lot of credit because they’ve been winning the midfield battles.
