But that's it, the negatives outweigh any of that. He's picked a 38 yr old to lead his defense in 3 straight games now, and bc of his immobility it effects how we can play without the ball everywhere else.

Ream was actually solid though. Who was available that is actually an upgrade? The problem isnt Poch picking a 38 year old. The problem is the pool isnt good enough to displace him.

He's tried to include Musah in the XI but he's forcing it, and playing Musah out on the wing in a position that doesn't suit him.

Our depth is a major red flag right now.

With no Gio, we have no one we can rely on to playmake and control things under pressure.

Tilman and Aaronson have failed that test every time.

We also desperately lack pace in our Attack when Balogon and Weah aren't available and outside of Cowill? Or maybe Wright? I don't know what we can do to fix that.

Yesterday was a sloppy field and that contributed to things too but... it was sloppy for them too and by min 50 they figured they could press us man to man without a fear of us playing through or behind them to counter. THAT'S A RED FLAG.

There's been a lot of talk about our keeper situation but Turner bails us out in basically every game now.

I'm far more concerned about the other positions. Also, Poch's teams have been known to run, the team picked yesterday, couldn’t do that.

One silver light is

Dest, Gio, Adams, Johnny (subbed off after 8 mins) Richards, Weah, Balogon

Were all missing. That's almost a full XI. So... there is room for growth when they return. It is worrying the bench is nonexistent though
