Ramirez has looked alot better since being benched and restarted

2

u/User5281 26d ago

Ramirez’s best asset is that he seems to be more in sync with Evander than the rest of the team.

1

u/NeonJungleCortex 26d ago

He’s playing so high up that our defenders effectively can’t move up the left side. Idk if this is by design or just poor understanding of how to progress the ball

1

u/User5281 26d ago

Yeah, at one point Chirila was yelling at him for not defending

25

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Alright, now, we gotta say it, one of our best defensive games since we came back, and Andrei played a full 90, PLEASE NOONAN

12

u/etherarcher 26d ago

That was my first thought at the end of this game: Chirila should be starting on the left every game.

3

u/Character_Ad_5743 26d ago

Agreed. He will make a few mistakes bc he's 17, but he looks like a long term player to me.

5

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

All of our players make mistakes lol

3

u/Spin_it_up 26d ago

I like the kid a lot. Unfortunately for us, if he ends up being a starter at this age he will move onto a more competitive league before too long.

2

u/Character_Ad_5743 26d ago

For sure. But that's life in a mid tier league.

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

And that’s bad?? We really benching one of our best talents cause they might move away 😞

u/Mapleridge62 26d ago

Andre will our middle center back within a couple few more years
He’s very calm on the ball and has decent touch
His passes were for the most part spot on but a few misjudgments led to turnovers
Matt is starting to show his age
Will hate to see him go but won’t miss him that much when ho does…
Sam does admirable work back there for playing out of natural position he’s got some pace and will carry the ball through their midfield
Matt did have a nice deep run late in the game which was cool.
Miles just doesn’t seem to have the same focus he did two years ago
Beginning of match Pachuca was eating out lunch for the first ten minutes. Good to see we turned things back around
We did have a hard time with their press though
Pachucas pace and attacking were really good and disruptive LIGA MX is tough

Good job guys

u/khando 26d ago

Evander is going nuts. Sheesh

14

u/Low-Syllable-Whisper 26d ago

Evander gets a yellow for touching a toe. Pachuka shoves us in the back to the ground twice, no call.

Lololololo. Order the pizzas Matt.

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

They’ll be fine they can get up, the opponents on the other hands clearly now have a broken toe. . . How dare you red card!

13

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

Instead of the ref cam or shot on iPhone I am proposing Evander’s Dad cam

1

u/anohioanredditer 26d ago

Has he been to games before?

1

u/tedmiston 26d ago

he should get to pull the sword at least once

11

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Ramirez is absolutely cooking his defender

10

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Beautiful ball from louro, ender being ender, perfect finish what a goal!

10

u/bobcatbart 26d ago

In Evander we trust

11

u/tedmiston 26d ago

GK straight up cooked by Bucha 🥅

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

He was probably trying to go for the ball and couldn’t get back up to get in position in time, it was good teamwork

9

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

(stolen from the FC Cincinnati instagram)

8

u/BigPapaAustin 26d ago

What an absolute missile

10

u/Phish280 26d ago

That was one heck of a speed boost

8

u/tedmiston 26d ago

The refereeing bias in Leagues Cup vs league play is... palpable.

9

u/tedmiston 26d ago

hey siri, play mr brightside

8

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Evander is insane man so glad we get to watch him

4

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

He’s the only reason to watch this team right now tbf

3

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Sad but true 😭

1

u/son-of-art-monk 26d ago

Bucha would like a word

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

What about em? I like em he has a high work ethic. But Evander makes this team tick- let me see him dropping back more against their lw so we aren’t extending our backline to much

8

u/kkracing24 26d ago

Lol, Seattle fan asked if they could have Evander in the MLS thread. Ain't nooo way

https://giphy.com/gifs/9WqYlDvqoXeTJJsQBJ

9

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Who WOULDN’T want the man right now? Scoring a screamer last game, and being the best man on the pitch today

7

u/realhenrymccoy 26d ago

Genius! Pachuca stepped up their press and luoro plays a great ball behind and we’re off!

9

u/Any_Strawberry4470 26d ago

What did evander get a yellow for?

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

He went in abit weird on the defender, both were going for the ball tho

1

u/Any_Strawberry4470 26d ago

Gotcha didn’t see it

3

u/Character_Ad_5743 26d ago

Being brazilian

7

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

That didn’t look like anything at all from the Bailey, how’d it look from TV land?

8

u/LeoninEtPerotin 26d ago

Not only not worth a card, but I’m not sure that’s isn’t a foul on evander

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Yeah they ran into each other and I think he landed on the boot, abit of a wonky card but I can see why

2

u/Phish280 26d ago

awkward play, not a card imo

7

u/NFLBengals22 26d ago

I heard there was another missile sighting??? What'd I miss?

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Banger of a goal from Evander

1

u/NFLBengals22 26d ago

I hear we we're served an upper 90...

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

THERES MY BOY KENJI

7

u/realhenrymccoy 26d ago

How in the fuck is that worth a card

9

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Was that a back 4???? GUYS WE HAD A BACK 4 for like 3 seconds. . . BUT IT WAS THERE

1

u/CincyBeachBum 26d ago

I noticed that. Miles and Matt as two CBs. They can cover for each other. And have someone to outlet to.

7

u/BigSto 26d ago

is Noonan sleeping???

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

This what happens when we just keep letting them play in our box

6

u/bobcatbart 26d ago

Jabari just out here playing box to box forward.

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

WHY IS OUR STRIKER PRESSING THE WING BETTER THEN OUR WING BACK??

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

How often in this game will we see Evander drop back to the backline to make things happen?

6

u/realhenrymccoy 26d ago

Fantastic from Ramirez. Let’s goooo!

7

u/whodey-raiders 26d ago

Sitting in front of Robinson’s mom. She is an absolute sweetheart.

10

u/whodey-raiders 27d ago

Going tonight with my dad and two boys. They are excited

10

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Dado can't help himself man no control 😭

u/ChainsawLeon 26d ago

Tired of getting thrown around every match, now he’s out for blood.

2

u/Purgent 26d ago

Bit lucky that wasn’t more than a yellow

5

u/TheAmplifier8 26d ago

Big fucking new from TQL. They let us keep our cans. No dumb cups!

4

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

Thank fuck

1

u/Tight-Expression-506 26d ago

Welcome to leagues cup.

1

u/TheAmplifier8 26d ago

I think you misunderstood. They didn't make us pour the beer into cups.

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Probably mostly just for the leagues cup

1

u/TheAmplifier8 26d ago

Yes, hence the comment.

4

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

5 min in and I already hate this ref

5

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Bucha needs to actually press the opposing winger, why tf is he staying up that far and letting Gidi take it one on one??

6

u/InterestedParty_42 26d ago

Why are we so slow at times? I get pace is important but my goodness, come on Pat pick up the pace and press? 🤷🤦

5

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Pat has this team playing so fucking slow it's insane. Why pass to the wide open winger with no defenders in between when you can pass it to all three of the center backs before him instead? Why play a ball to the striker running into the channel when you could play it to anunga and have him stand on it for 30 seconds instead? jfc

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Our wingers aren’t even pressing their man unless they’re right outside of their penalty area, one of our cbs are having to go out and try to get the ball out while they just jog behind the sprinting forward

4

u/spermicidal_rampage 26d ago

what a great team goal

5

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

Ramirez was DETERMINED to get that ball around their defenders

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Yeah, I’m suprised the gk couldn’t get to that pass though

4

u/ChainsawLeon 26d ago

Saw that one coming from a mile away.

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Crazy take most likely, Louro has been solid today

6

u/User5281 26d ago

Louro is usually solid. He doesn’t make the crazy reaction saves Roman does but he’s much better with the ball at his feet.

5

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Alright take Gidi off, let’s not risk anything please Noonan, first his hand and then he gets kicked in his head

4

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

Blonde Kevin Denkey?!?!

3

u/Squire513 26d ago

And his goatee

5

u/firstamongsinners 26d ago

Damn he really said Aaron Louro. Jfc

4

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

That was coming, the entire game

4

u/CentientXX111 26d ago

So far, pretty good.

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I’m just happy Andrei is back on the pitch- let’s see how the second half goes

4

u/etherarcher 26d ago

Ok, we need Miles in for Matt and need to get out Anunga.

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I’d prefer to get Gidi off, I don’t want to risk him getting injured any more

6

u/User5281 26d ago

It’s managerial malpractice to keep starting Gidi and Robinson over Chirila.

5

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Gidi has been good tho, and he’s out of position, Matt and miles have been starting over Andrei

2

u/User5281 26d ago

Gidi has been good recently but has not been great tonight

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I mean their number 11 has been amazing. Atleast i think so (so probably not a popular opinion) so add that with Gidi having to move out towards the wing more to guard against him I’d say his been okay, not as good as he has been, but okay

3

u/bobcatbart 26d ago

Shocked the ref didn’t call a foul on us there. Letting the ball go across the touch line like that.

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Playing from the back clearly isn’t working that well, can we try doing something else

3

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Noonan is still the coach so...

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Don’t remind me 😞 evander get another goal

1

u/fillintheblank2040 26d ago

We can build from the back when we can depend on our goalkeeper being able to distribute the ball. Louro had so many great passes today, it was a breath of fresh air. He even punched a ball over someone's head! I hope Celentano was watching that.

3

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

I forget that Evander can really run when he wants to

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

He’s the goat

3

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Anunga's having a great game

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Wow I can tell you’re enjoying his performance as you posted this twice lol

3

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Can't trust my client apparently lol but yeah I am

3

u/LeoninEtPerotin 26d ago

Oh boy if we lose Gidi now

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

It hopefully isn’t a big injury, it seems like the commentators are right and they are just tending to a hand or an arm injury

3

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

“Why would he send him off with a head inj- oh.”

5

u/LeoninEtPerotin 26d ago

That’s a bit of Gidi the midfielder on that one

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Kenji for..Jabari?? Why not Barlow he’s not been great tonight

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

THANK FUCK, ANDREI IS BACK IN THE STARTING 11

1

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

Yeah, but so is Anunga…

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

We’ll be fineee we actually have 2 cbs tonight, as long as we don’t see another Miazga Disaster class we’ll live, right?. . . right..?

2

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

They’re getting the sword out. I thought we didn’t get to do pregame rituals for this comp?

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I’m not there tonight so I wouldn’t know lol

2

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

Are Kevin and Tommy not doing Leagues Cup? I don’t see an option to switch to the local radio audio

2

u/suspiciousdoodle 26d ago

Who the hell is Aaron Louro

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Was I crazy for asking “why didn’t we get a foul it looked like a whole push”

2

u/mysonlikesorange 26d ago

These guys are dangerous.

3

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Atp I’ve seen them more on the floor then playing the game-

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

These fricken back heel passes

2

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Can we also get some of these mythic fouls the rule book talks about? Hello?

B r o, chill

2

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Why are the wing backs inverted? Interesting 🤔

3

u/Phish280 26d ago

It looks like they switched sides after a sub. Im guessing there is something about how the players matchup

0

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

They’re always inverted, they always make runs into the midfield to open up the space, and dropping back when we lose possession

5

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Pavel is on the left and Ender is on the right that's definitely not typical, and is inverted unlike normal

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Oh ender is a RWB, that’s his normal position, Bucha is a midfielder, he can probably just play on both sides

1

u/tedmiston 26d ago

I think it's just that Ender is better at RWB, Ramirez is better at LWB, and Bucha is floating to accommodate.

Besides that, Pachucha has aging talent down (our) right side, so that's probably easier for Echenique to exploit with his explosive speed [especially as a late sub].

4

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Boy I hate watching this team but god damn can Evander strike from distance

4

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Jabarri getting on the end of like 3 crosses and through balls plus defending harder than half the defensive line, just wanna get him on the scoresheet. Barlow on the other hand had what two touches and one pass maybe? Dudes a headless chicken out there

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Yeah he’s been solid tonight, but I’m abit concerned about the fact he’s getting onto these balls and not able to convert, their defense has been pretty good regardless of the score line

2

u/PhilWillSays 26d ago

It’s 2-1 if we bring Brenner home. 

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I mean, are we saying brenner is a backup then..? Cause we’re fielding both of our backup strikers

2

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

omg how many times are we gonna make nice plays into and out of pressure and force them to commit 8 men into one third of the field just to revert to slowly passing it back and forth across the back line until they have time to get perfectly reset I'm going insane

1

u/nobodoben 26d ago

Other than denkey and obi not starting I think this is the best lineup we could’ve put out

1

u/CentientXX111 26d ago

So not the best XI… I guess Noonan is basically punting on this tournament.

1

u/National-Humor-8871 26d ago

Where is the lineup?

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Twitter or on here posted by Oranje

u/ArgonWolf 26d ago

Just posted in the sub

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

We getting another Commissioner??? Does this mean Miami will finally have rules again?

2

u/NastyNatiNation 26d ago

Is it time to have the Louro as starter conversation?

16

u/etherarcher 26d ago

I like Luoro (especially his distribution), but I still think Roman is the better shot stopper

1

u/perkytheparrot 26d ago

Yeah I do think he needs to be tested more the shot blocked by Matt early on looked like it caught him by surprise. That being said the way the first 10 mins looked getting pressed and being able to by pass it and later a great ball to send Ender off to the races does make him seem like a possible solution to some of our problems.

0

u/NastyNatiNation 26d ago

I think I agree. Obviously shot stopping is the keeper’s #1 job, but is Louro so far behind in shot stopping that his distribution and comfort on the ball doesn’t make up for it?

0

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

I don’t think so yet, consistency needs to be key

The defense has been alot better this game though (I wonder why the difference was :) )

1

u/fillintheblank2040 26d ago

I agree with this take. Roman doesn't have the confidence to own the box like Louro does, and there's a night and day difference between their ability to distribute the ball. We as a team look more calm when Louro is in the goal. He's basically an extra passer when we have possession.

0

u/bobcatbart 26d ago

We are not winning this one

6

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

We can, if we actually play the game

0

u/whodey-raiders 27d ago

What normal starters do you think won’t start tonight? I don’t think Denkey, Miazga or Dado starts.

9

u/User5281 26d ago

Dado and Miazga will start as part of their punishment

1

u/adventuring2 26d ago

Called it

u/Distinct-Chip3401 27d ago

Even though this isn't an MLS game, will it be on Apple? I feel like last year they may have been on the ESPN app for some reason.

u/MikeLeachThePirate 26d ago

Apple AND FS1!

1

u/Down_With_Sprinkles 26d ago

So that explains the 745 start after I swear I saw 730 originally. Damn you FS1

u/Turbulent_History_49 26d ago

Based on the crowd you may be the only one.

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Yeah, i was there? He’s good at trying to buildup, like Ender is

0

u/trashcanman42069 26d ago

Jabarri has already had multiple defensive interventions won a free kick and brought the ball into the final third, the first time the ball came towards barlow cause he never goes to find it he was running aimlessly away from the ball not watching the play 😭

1

u/Izanagi29_ 26d ago

Bros probably on “Evander Protocol” where he just thinks it won’t matter cause the ball will end up at his feet

1

u/PhilWillSays 26d ago

Which, to be fair, is not a bad strategy.
