OTOH I'm surprised they don't have a local backup system, OTOH I suppose that would require not just the technology but an extra official with nothing to do in the vast majority of games.
MLS - June 26 - Philadelphia (Away)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Well Video Review is now fully operational again for LAFC-Red Bulls.
lost it in the first half cause we had no width and hence, played everything right up the middle where they wanted us.
2nd philly goal had a foul leading up to it, but somehow that's not considered at all?
2nd clear handball and ref doesn't even want to look. PRO is fucking stupid. we've had much less obvious handballs called against us. fucking robbed.

Overall I think it was a relatively good effort from the boys.
I'm disappointed we didn't win, I'm even more disappointed we didn't tie, but we're starting to see something again. I'm hoping we absolutely annihilate cinci on wednesday.
Cushing's changes in tactic and personnel at the half I think were good. Idk what it is, but notice that this season we haven't been doing very well in first halves, only to wake up in the second. Cost us today.

We got what we deserved. We can't play that way in the first half and expect to walk away with anything. Good second half, but we get what we deserve there. I have no problem with the second hand-ball call. Taty is clearly holding the guy's hand. That can't be a handball. Good no-call.
Anton really changed the game -- obviously won't expect to see him on Wednesday, but hopefully after that he's pretty much close to a full go now. That guy is just so damn good.

Armandito wouldn’t properly call off a goal against us in the final minute of the MLS Cup final for a foul so why the eff would he do it now?
shameful.
Talles needs to improve massively he keeps making bad choices and his striking was just weak in all shots he took. He tripped on himself like three times. Don’t know what’s going on.
tinnerholm already showing he is such a key to attack, we need a LB badly. At least team showed anger in final 15. We got screwed in end? Yes. However they needed to just do less bad passes and better combo plays. Just feels like they forgot how to play with each other. Which is frustrating me more.

I don't think Talles should be shooting. I've said this before and I still hold by it. Talles should only be doing creative work. Do some of those dribble things he does, and pass it into taty/heber/etc. His shots leave a LOT to be desired.

I thought Taty was really poor today - glad he finished his pk. The lack of discipline really bugs me - that’s on the coaches.
What’s the opposite of a new coach bump?

Everything changed when Tinnerholm came on (Malte too, to a lesser extent). We finally widened the pitch a little, played a lot better. But by my count that's actually five matches in a row when we haven't been all that good. We need to take it up a couple notches.
He had three shots from great positions where they just sort of ran weakly in a straight line right at Blake. A couple other times he got loose on the wing but then dribbled a beat too long rather than pass and got run out. The first is technique, the second is decision making. So, probably nothing work and experience can't fix.
we aren't getting a new coach bump cause none of the players wanted ronny to go and are probably still in shock from it. shows in their mentality.
Also, no study I am aware of has ever shown that a new coach bump is a real thing. Sometimes new coaches do better. Sometimes they do worse, and sometimes the same. Any belief that they usually improve things is mostly yes, my favorite, confirmation bias. Also there is at least one study that showed that a cohort of instances where the team did improve represented nothing more than a reversion to the mean.
As to your point about the players not wanting a change, DC United fired a coach because the players revolted and demanded it even though he had them playing well for their talent level. The new guy is 2-5-2 for 0.89 PPG. The guy they fired had a +1 GD over 40 games. The new guy has managed to accumulate a -8 GD through 9 games. Their xG also is way down. So their results suck, and their actual and expected numbers are both worse. But I suppose the players are happy now. They got what they wanted. Good for them.
I think it's clear as to who our starters are at LB and RB.
The main disappointment I have is how petty we seem to be playing. Lots of bullshit on the pitch. Cushing needs to rein that in.

What about their trainer?
I'll take this over that power outage last fall. Man, that had me scared. At one point I wasn't sure we were going to make it. Then all of a sudden it rained goals at home (I'll never forget Ian Paul Joy's rant in the pregame LOL) and all was right in the world, just like that.
This is a lot earlier in the season so that's better, too. But we still need to get it together soon. There is just no margin for error in the East.
i agree there's no such thing as a new coach bounce. it's there when it's there, but that doesn't mean it's a thing. not sure how DC's situation relevant to ours. completely different reasons for the coach leaving. and probably different reasons for why they aren't performing as well. ronny left and it was a surprise to most players, i think. callens said he was very surprised cause he thought ronny was happy. i think that shake up is enough to rock our boat a bit. hopefully cushing and the veteran players can right the ship.
discipline has been an issue. the south americans are feisty and always have been. but they need to reign it in or at least be smart about it. we were lucky today that acevedo didn't get sent off with a red when he pushed flach right in the face during that scuffle. right before heber came on for him too. would have been thiago situation all over again.
Circling the coach change discussion back to NYFC, it's too short a sample to tell whether we're seeing
- disruption to the chemistry of a well-oiled group
- a new coach screwing up
- random fluctuations in results and play, or
- a team that has scored 0 or 1 goals 14 times in all competitions this season just giving us more of the same.
