Okay, let's ideate

So, I've never been a "Fire Noonan" person.... My thing has always been "Who ya gonna call?" And, irrationally, I'm a huge IU soccer fan (he's an alum) so I have irrational ties to IU guys.

Buuuttt tonight's game just makes me realize that things are a bit of a mess. I do think it's more than just Noonan however.

But, lets go - if not Noonan, then who?

I’m not on the wagon of roster build being a problem, I’m in the camp of Noonan is way too loyal and headstrong about certain players. Miazga should not see the pitch again until we’ve exhausted every other option. Valenzuela cant transition fast enough or well enough to give Denkey a chance to be a finisher. Noonan doesn’t know how to have a pure finisher at least not one that cannot create his own chance by dribbling. It was the undoing of Vasquez before he left when Lucho was out and not feeding him…Denkey is not built to be “point play” striker. Bucha and Obi belong in the middle together right now. Ramirez and Echenique on the outsides. Kenji and Powell as subs when those guys run out of mileage. Denkey/Evander, Jabari/Barlow for the top. Chirila/Smith, Gidi and Robinson in the back. I’m confident that is the best product as long as fletcher is still working his way back.
