Orlando (Away) - Postmatch
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
I think being on Pep's staff means he's part of those trophies. You're not just a hanger-on when you're an assistant coach at a place like that. I would certainly give him the benefit of the doubt there. He's not the final decision-maker, but he was definitely a decision-maker. It would be very unfair to insinuate that he wasn't a part of those trophies.
Disappointing not to win that game after being up.

Having Mitri is like having Villa last season. Someone who plays hard and tries to score but really has no help up top or any help in creating chances. We have no supporting players. And we are the real life Smurfs all these guys are tiny.
Choosing the wine for Pep after a big victory?
That and set piece diagrams are basically what I got from the documentary.
Yes. That’s why if I tell people I lived in Kennington and say it real fast they make the mistake and assume Kensington. All the sudden I’m posh
He’s happy for them because they got a point in a match he completely sabotaged with his incompetent managerial skills.
Dome may be the most non-self aware manager in the business. At least Jose can point to past success when rationalizing his decisions, even if completely wrong.
Can the man shave? geeezus he looks like he's at MD34 even though the season just started.
As for the tactics, based on that little interview you can see he definitely shifted tactics for this one match where he says "because we played them 10 days ago." whether that's good or bad, I guess we'll find out later...
Domemeter continues to drop

Wait his excuse is that we played them 10 days ago? That’s even worse.
He’s like the Tinker Man, minus all the success.
Given that we are likely to have to live with Dome-ball for the foreseeable future, beacause in perspective, this was an away draw to a much improved team that beat us a week ago and knocked in 6 against New England recently, a serious question...
If SJ doesn’t blow that FK or Sands/Chanot picks up Dwyer, we win this match. So if that happened, or started to happen more often, and we start winning ugly, is anyone happy with this kind of football? I don't think it’s likely, but interested in the pulse check of the board.
On a separate note. I don't think he is unfireable. If the losing or even mediocrity continues consistently they will find a face-saving way to ease him out, like “family” or “health” reasons.

To start, if you go with counterfactuals, there was the missed handball so I'm not sure it's fair to pick out one odd bad event to flip the result favorably, but taking your question as it is:
Winning solves almost everything, and if we win ugly I will be happy, but I will still be annoyed that the entire project to date has been built on lies. As I said above: "To play this way regularly makes a mockery of the CFG way and any pretense that we have continuity among teams and interchangeability among coaches and players. It also makes the hire of Torrent seem preposterous from the outset, because it puts the lie to him being Pep Prime in anyway whatsoever."
That said, again, and to be clear, I would rather win and negate everything the team was supposedly built on, than lose and remain devoted to a failing set of principles.
Two moments of brilliance sandwiched around 88 minutes of unwatchable soccer is not sustainable for the season. The team may have eeked out a win with the luck you mentioned, but they’d end up losing the majority over the course of the season playing like that.
The funny thing is, when Orlando scored, I wasn’t upset, but more relieved because a win playing that horribly would have just brought Dome’s defenders out of the woodwork trumpeting his genius while failing to see this disaster is peak-Dome.
Anyone going to mention how Maxi still has finishing issues? How many times has he been 1v1 with the keeper and not scored? He did it yesterday when we could have been up 3-0 and he did it a ton last season too.
I kept think that if Lewis had been the advanced player, the defender never would have caught him thus forcing such an early shot.
