2023 Charlotte FC Game Thread

Arfield gets his first start tonight. He’ll play next to Westwood with Bronico in support.

Good finishes there by Swiderski, let’s see if Lattanzio parks the bus in the second.

We all know Lattanzio is going all brakes no gas and lose or tie this game 

[Panthers Fan 69]

Jesus Christ.  Fire Lattanzio.  Blew another 2-0 lead 

[MechaZain]

2-0 lead against the top team in MLS....

I can't give Lattanzio too much grief for this one though. The PK was just bad luck and the defense fell apart after Jones came off. I really want to see Jones and Malanda at CB now.

Lattanzio out. We look lifeless and the resistance to changing formation/tactics is just mind blowing. 433 hasn’t worked really at all this season. Hell try a 442 or 3412/3421. Something. Anything different, but I think having another striker up top with Swidz is the way to go.

Could be wrong but this seems like the type of game that people get fired over.

And for the record, Krneta and Lattanzio need to go.

This team is terrible. The coach doesn’t match the players and the players don’t match the coach. They suck.

That was God awful to watch.  They got WORKED the entire first half. We have no creation from the midfield, our defense is beyond terrible and we don't have any finishers. The entire roster can go for all I care. And losertanzio can drive the bus taking them all out of town.

This is what you get when you appease the players because the manager hurt their feelings

Finally won a game, albeit in the Leagues Cup against FC Dallas.

Sigh!!! Yes, finally!!!!

Hated that offsides call on Arfield’s goal. Was such a good one. I tried to watch the second half but gave up b/c I was exhausted from fishing all day plus it just felt like inevitable loss. Glad they pulled it out

I don’t think MAR would have lasted either way. Decent strategist on game day but zero ability/interest in every other aspect of being a coach.
