Well said and totally with you.
The only small hope I have is that we conceded fewer silly goals in the last couple of games(like the ELL penaltybut that was the only one) and I feel comfortable that, on average, we'll score 1-2 goals per game so hoping the next 8 games give us better results.

My 2c on Atlanta United.Problem isn't midfield.It's role confusion.
ELL should be striker-clear.
Miggy penetrative winger/goal scorer.
Miranchuk-assist provider.
There's confusion on Miggy/Miranchuk roles-both playing playmaker shrinking the field against teams crowding the middle.On Deila to fix.

To be fair, those Amador crosses last year were so on the ball. And Latte Lath’s vertical leap and Thiare’s physical presence do make the OCCASIONAL cross a good option to have especially against a 11 man defense that is clogging the middle. But the key word is obviously highlighted above!!

Totally agree we are not playing great & nowhere near controlling games.The real frustration is that if we had won the game, we would be one point from being 5th in a difficult eastern conference, while playing well below potential. I still think this team comes together in the second half.

Interceptions 2-16.

Eye test also suggested so many turnovers. Combination of poor touches and sometimes just too crowded in the middle.

New England xG in first half was mostly the penalty. 0.5xG other than the penalty.

Defense was not really the problem.

Asking a guy, out for a media day why he hasn't scored a goal is more weird than hard. You can ask the same thing by putting it in a different context. At least, that's my opinion.

Or people stocked up on everything they needed for the rest of the year before the tariffs came on 🤷

I am but a humble markets guy.

The one reality you have to accept is that the market can only focus on one issue at a time.Right now,we’re on tariff watch.

Dropping inflation,supply disruptions,recession,labor shortages,spiraling debt- we’ll get to all of them but they’ll have to wait their turn.

This Almiron Miranchuk issue is a classic “solution in search of a problem” situation.

Did not get an assist on the second but Almada started the sequence for that goal with a lovely pointed ball in to the box for Lacazette who took the initial shot.

Also, how does the current account deficit decline if we buy from India instead of China???

Not to mention the weeks of management time spent preparing and readying plans for a completely different world.
