You're a piece of work - sometimes I don't know why I even bother responding to your posts, but it's probably because I can't stand the way you deflect points being made and then get angry claiming people twist your argument when you're the one twisting the original.
So for starters, the definition of a straw man is:
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.
This started because you refuted my statement that Kreis' record was showing he isn't yet capable of getting the most out of his star players:
Sabo & I were talking about not getting the most out of Kaka, Molino and Mattias Perez Garcia and you refuted it by talking about their defense and lack of a Midfield link. That's a Straw Man.
With reference to a Midfield Link, that refers to any and/or all of the Midfield players - the Midfield by definition links the defense and the attack. Teams play out of the back through different players/positions - some go through the middle (Recent ManU via Carrick) and others through the wing (Old ManU via Beckham/Giggs), and some straight to the creative (neither defensive nor advanced) midfielder (Valderrama / Etcheverry). Orlando has players at these positions that fit the bill. If you specifically meant a Holding/defensive midfielder, then say that and don't be obtuse. As it stands, Kaka drops and receives a large amount of the link play - if that's not working, then that's on the coach.
With reference to the Defense being horrendous, OCFC has given up 43 goals/25 games compared to NYCFC giving up 43 goals/26 games. While not great, it's not the worst in the league. The difference is that their offense has only scored 39 goals (6th in the East). They are tied for 6th in the East on GD. So yes, they could use some changes on Defense, but again, that was not the point of the original posts by Sabo & me.
Yes you misread. When the three players being discussed as being quality players and are all playing midfield, along with Nocerino, then yes its a straw man to claim there isn't a midfield link on the team.
So no, that's not
playing fast as you characterized it, that's staying on topic as logic dictates.
