DAL win 2-0 against ATX

COL late winner vs Timbers next opponents HOU

It’s an absolute rock fight down the stretch. #RCTID

After Portland’s move for Jimer Fory, this is my best guess at how the team could line up on opening day. I’m not reporting anything, this is just how I feel. With the new signings it depends on how quickly they bed in during preseason, and obviously how fit the players are overall. #RCTID

Have to take into consideration the differences in position when it comes to defensive stats (midfielders do more defensive work than forwards). Having said that, Jona isn’t far off, and is significantly more involved in clearances/Aerials.

The uncomfortable reality that nobody wants to talk about in regards to helping solve defensive instability? For as brilliant as he is going forward, when Evander’s on the pitch the team are essentially defending down a man. Here’s where he stands in basic defensive metrics: #RCTID

Kamal Miller starts for Canada today against Suriname, and Max Crepeau is on the bench. #RCTID

Just wanted to say that @billymerck.bsky.social is the absolute man, and does amazing work over at greenisthecolor.substack.com - PTFC history, great interviews, and behind the scenes looks at how the club operates.

*And* he sent me an LFC care package! Legend. #RCTID
