wow, just got to reading it! Now i understand why you needed help with all those quotes- really well written! Some of the stuff flew over my head, but for the most part I understood. I do have a question though, which is if you did write that we feel more accustomed to passing in their side of the pitch, then how does that affect when the ball is in our defensive area? Are we worse? Because I feel like we've been a lot worse on the defensive side. Either I missed that in the article or it's just not important?
I took issue, at length, with one part of this article in another thread. But even with that disagreement, this was a tour de force.
Yeah, this is some really great stuff, man. Thanks for all the work.
Is this gonna be like they did last year with that, quite honestly, awful light show that was supposed to be cool?

Those with more tactical acumen then me can comment on how accurate Warshaw is

The last two years I went into the playoffs with hope and thinking we have a chance. I’m not feeling good about this one.
So then the math equals out. We should destroy tonight.
The analysis of the problem seems reasonable, but the suggested fixes seem problematic.
"Just be tighter and more athletic in midfield" is a huge ask. Would probably be easier for them to hope that our midfield 3, Herrera in particular, is gassed, or is compromised by injury.
"Just make the right decisions as centerbacks" is another huge ask and fraught with risks against someone like Villa.
The recommendations aren't just switches. It's asking players to make massive behavioral adjustments, that take months of training, in the space of 3 days. I'm always worried when I'm confident, but there's nothing in this article in particular that worries me.
My main concern is that Philly makes an actual tactical switch, and that we get forced to play in a way that we aren't familiar with (i.e. what has maligned our form over the last 10 games). Or that Herrera is going to be feeling the lack of game time after having to turn around and be ready for another big contribution after 90 mins and only 3 days of recovery.
I heard he’s been conflicted with his interests as he’s going to be called up by the Sugandese National Team.
If Dockal can make Burke cry again, I like our chances.
