Our latest midseason evaluation is up. The general verdict: Weirdly kind of good actually? But also maybe bad? Midfield is a strange place.

There's a weird thing here where Atlanta's personnel in midfield is probably better than it has been in the last few years but all the other problems are so rough that it hasn't really mattered

Two Ronny Deila quotes might offer a glimpse of Atlanta United's future
it's all about moxy, grit, hardscrabble determination, crab rangoon, things of that nature.

Jay Fortune is becoming a star, Atlanta remembered they're allowed to play passes in behind and everything feels kind of ok for at least a few more hours.
Here's the full breakdown (ft. clips, charts and more) of a much-needed win.

Dug deep into Latte Lath's time in Atlanta so far.
TL;DR: Tough to be a good striker on a bad team
(Also: I make charts now.)
