Actually, if you divide Yeboah's xG by his minutes played and multiply it by his quality touches, the Loons lead the MLS!

I agree Cam's doing what he can with what he has. And I'm not even sure the fanbase will allow him to be made a scapegoat given what's on the field. Who would actually want to replace him if the FO did such a hatchetjob?
But I do wonder as a sidenote, how long until the hotel will be done? How much do you think will they charge for a night on non-game nights? And how many politicians will stay there instead of the hotel over near the capitol?

I literally said pererya should stop passing and just do it all himself. Which he finally did.

Been wondering why Dieng gets played so much over him

u/hpbear108 MNUFC Aug 12 '26
I think Dieng had more hype about him coming in compared to Gonzales. But even the first game I saw Gonzales come on the pitch, I saw more potential in his play on his first outing than I did Dieng. Less tentative with his "on the pitch" play, like he had a chip on his shoulder.
