Importantly, I believe that our playoff defeats the last two seasons were substantially the result of tactics rather than personnel. As we all opined in real time on both occasions, PV was outcoached. Dome's effect could be the greatest when it matters most.
The only question mark I have is whether or not he will be able to attract the same level of transfer talent that PV has been able to attract. For all the complaining some have done about the process, this seems like a homerun so far.
 
“I watch many teams in the MLS, and 90% want to play football. But I’m not sure they have a clear idea. They pass the ball for pass the ball. I don’t like pass the ball for pass the ball. Pass the ball with our clear intention.”

Good stuff from Dome starting at 31’

Loving that Dome continues to look down on Vieira’s possession for the sake of possession style of play
 
Writing about having Dome, the pretty pineapple, coaching in NY the big apple makes me want to sing and dance that Ridiculous Japanese cringe pop song “pen pineapple apple pen”. Now kids, all cover your ears and eyes

I really want to know who the 10 percent of teams that don’t want to play football in MLS are...
 
DCU's new strategy: pass the ball to the Englishman. Is that football?

Maybe add Orlando and San Jose to the pile as well. But now we are over 10%.
To be fair, they don’t want to play anything for that manager.

They are so stupid they don’t know that the real cancers are their old-timers like Wondo.

So the rest of his coaching staff has arrived. Do they start training with balls at feet now? Or have they already been doing that? If they’ve been doing that the whole time then it hasn’t helped our guys out one bit. Almost seems like we’re even worse at passing the ball now than before.
