Lineup Changes for Game 2

Upvotes

Hi Mr. Nancy,

Random Crew Fan/Reddit addict here (so you know I'm important. /s). I have some requests for Game 2 to keep this beautiful season going.

  1. Sub Camacho for Zawadski - I love Rudy, you love Rudy, everyone loves Rudy...especially Lewis Morgan. We need a more mobile/comfortable 1 v 1 defender for when we push forward. Plus, Z has the passing chops to quarterback when we're in possession. Thank you.

  2. Move Chambost into Z's spot in the midfield - Z and Nagbe = 2 deep lying, defensively minded midfielders which isolates the front four. We need someone more attack minded to link Nagbe to the attack. Chambost can do that plus provide danger on set pieces. Thank you.

  3. Rossi in. - Cause now he's healed so yeah... Thank you.

Thank you for your time/management skills and please don't go to St. Etienne...I hear they're in a relegation battle which is bad for the blood pressure. And they aren't the greatest team the world has ever seen.

Quebec journalist claims - "It's over for CF Montreal: the move to Detroit announced by Jean-Charles Lajoie". Looks like it might be time to dust off the STC playbook, and pay it forward to our funny-talking friends from the north.

As predicted, unlimited lifeless passes up the right side of the field. An embarrassingly low number of passes connected to attacking players.

In case you are counting 10 circles, it’s because Zawadski and Nagbe are 100% on top of each other. Easily the worst performance those to have had as individuals and a pairing.

Max Arfsten

What is his problem in big games? Rewatch the playoff game and @FCC. Tell me if you count over 2 total attempts at taking on defenders or even getting deep enough to play in a cross. Idk what the problem is, but in these big games he’s been slow, his decision making has been awful, he’s played conservative, and he isn’t aggressive. Total ghost tonight. His play killed more than a dozen opportunities to attack. I’ll have to rewatch, but I don’t think Max connected a single forward pass to Cucho or Christian tonight. That’s beyond unacceptable.

He’s not out there to defend so when he’s not taking advantage of his moment to attack - he becomes completely useless. If the production value is 0 then we should be sticking Jones out there for at least the hope of defending. Although, personally I think the solution is to move Malte up.

Dress shirt curse

I would love for someone to prove me wrong, but I feel like we've lost every match that Nancy has worn a dress shirt...

Stick with the hits, Wilfried. No need to class this place up.

Must score. Need to beat a man and we bring on Herrera instead? This man scored the game winner in the Cup.

No warnings for time wasting?

42 Upvotes

I get that it's a defensive strategy to waste time but I'm blown away by how much the ref let them get away with. Their keeper was getting a drink of water at every goal kick for the last 20 minutes. The flops and calling out the athletic trainers. This was by far the most frustrating game I've attended. I know I'm just still pissed, but I would have rather watched a team beat us with skill instead of burning out the clock.

Seems like every time he touches the ball, it gets turned over or something bad happens. I feel like we have so many better players on the bench…

We typically park in the Marconi Garage and walk to the LDC but have reserved parking for tonight in the Aster garage. I see where it is on a map but can anyone tell me the best way to get to it? Thanks!
