Away - 4/15 Atlanta

[EganSoccerWords]

I’m now in the Shradi should start camp, but I do think there is an argument for Wallace to start in certain matchups.

And your point is valid, but you seem to be ensinuating that we’ll be bunkering if Wallace is starting over Shradi and that’s simply not the case

Maybe my words were not precise, but if we put Wallace in over Shradi it would be for defensive purposes.

If Atlanta high presses us Wallace is the right call. He drops well and helps the defense play out of the. Atlanta will probably stick with their 3 at the back though which will allow Tajouri to terrorise their back line.

We are going to need goals this game. Why would we take off the guy that already has 4 this season, and replace him with someone who hasn't scored since May of last year?

Copy paste with a new goal count next week and then every week after

Exactly. All the improvements we've made to the backline seem completely suited to this game. Between Tinnerholm, Chanot, Callens, Ring, and Herrera we've got the pieces to defend this team. Go try to kick them in the teeth by starting Shradi and Matarrita. They are shaky on their backline, and this seems like the kind of game you have to win 3-2.

Don't try to win this game with defense, that's how we lose to this team.

Anyone know how many times Atlanta have played up a man at home? It feels like playing on turf is a huge advantage for them, the ball runs faster which makes it harder for defenders to adjust which leads to more fouls.

Twice last year (only once at the new stadium). Twice this year.

Totally agree - we need to take it to them from the whistle. Make them worry about our attack and doubt their own ability to defend - we can trust our defense and DMid to snuff out their guys; if we really think we have the best two CBs and Best DMid, we should trust them to do their thing.

The tough part about playing Atlanta Sunday is they will have the biggest pigeon killer out there... Allen Chapman. That guy always fucks us.

Might as well have copied me too. I hate that guy. My kid actually wrote a piece of “historical fiction” for his 4th grade class called Bad Ref that is all about how bad Chapman fucked us (my words, not his) in the Chicago game.

My only solace is that I believe he really is just a bad ref and doesn’t really dislike us in particular, so there are good odds that he makes some horrible decision that benefits us. Things have to even out over the long run, right?

Oh, and is there any chance Chapman was trained in the ACC?

I'm considering heading there, but I may cave into being lazy and just watching at home.

Come on man, if I can schlep up there from Brooklyn you can put some pants on for one of the biggest games of the season and free beer.

Take some pics. We kind of started the RD away days thing with the inaugural season but I haven’t seen pics from there in a while.

But it's a whole 8 streets away from me!

Spoiler

I'll probably be there

Ugh. Just when I try to forget about the swindle. You remind me.
