Five Takes On The Five Stripes Glenn Peison

One this episode we discuss....
 
💍AEIOU
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The end of the EPL season
🙋‍♂️Accountability and the fringes
⚽️ Possession without purpose
👮‍♂️ Good cop good cop
 
1: This should NEVER have to be a take but unfortunately we still have players not playing for every ball or even until the whistle. It’s deeply concerning. Full blooded commitment has to be the bare minimum and even that appears lacking too often. 
2:Distribution from Guz isn’t bad most of the time but we are not winning the 2nd balls. Infact Nashville’s goal comes off our inability to win those second balls in the middle of the field. 
3: When we did win a 2nd ball or a duel it came off Muyumba or Xande so, not bad games for them. But once we progress into the final third there’s no end product. We’re reliant on individual magic but at least we did have one moment of it. 
4: Hasn’t been Saba time in quite some time. His flashiness is quite bright, his composure has been quite dull. He’s just been looking less & less like a genuine attacking threat & more & more like a flash in the pan. 
5: Nothing has changed. We almost conceded both immediately after scoring & after set pieces and dead ball situations. We were spared by luck, VAR & Nashville not being able to put it away. We’re still a 2nd half team & still decimated by injuries.

🖐️Our takes
🫵Your Takes
🔑Low-key MOM
🙋‍♂️Accountability
🤷‍♂️So What's the fix?
 
1: Well Jennifer got her wish with Saba playing on the left. But as soon as we put one of our more creative and dynamic players on the left, we played predominantly on the right. That was confounding especially when one of our best early chances came off the left. 
2: We are not utilizing Thiago to full effect and he’s also not at his absolute best. Apart from that incredible ball he whipped in for GG he’s just not in  possession in key dangerous areas where he can attract multiple defenders creating space for others. He’s drifting, trying to find the game. 
3: Once again we give up a soft goal from a reset of play. In fairness, we’re really missing a 6’5” Norwegian in those situations but that’s no excuse. And once again we conceded immediately after conceding. We’re so easily exploited and teams know it. 
4: Our one goal came off some quick direct counter play. Sure would be nice if we did that more often. 
5: Gonzo is a really smart guy. He’s a student of the game. He’s very detail oriented. He knows every little detail about every opponent we face. It’s really impressive. But for unknown reasons, all of his knowledge is not translating to performance results and sooner rather than later it’s going to become untenable.

🖐️Takes🫵Your takes and low-keys🤷‍♂️Should he stay or should he go🦅Falcons prioritizing mediocrity 🗓️What do we need to see in May?
 
1: To the left to the left, everything we had was going down the left. Points for trying, but nothing really threatening came of it. Grant it we are missing Xande but even with him in the XI we haven’t been able to create any attacking threats and that continues to be the case. 
2: *In the voice of Paula Cole* Where is our set piece threat? Why can’t we score a goal? Where have all our free kicks gone? Seriously, we use to be somewhat productive from free kicks and corners and now we get very little from either. 
3: We still look incredibly shaky on dead ball situations and resets in play. Literally with any stoppage in play we just don’t look ready when play resumes and the scouting report is out on that aspect of this team because we’re seeing more and more teams take free kicks and throw ins quickly. 
4: We looked really good in the last 20 minutes. If we could just figure out the other 70 we might really have something. It continues to be a total mystery as to why we cannot play with urgency and attacking dynamism over the course of an entire 90 minutes. Clearly we can do it in moments. We just should be able to replicate that over an entire match. 
5: We can’t count on our counter press. We don’t look in sync at all when we try to win the ball back. The players just look confused as to what the trigger for the press is. Credit to Slisz and also Dax, who we need to see more of FWIW, for individual efforts but it has to be more about the collective than one or two players.

On this episode...🖐️Takes🔑 Low-key MOM🫵 Your takes🤔 Coaching vs player performance 🤕Exploiting the new rules 
Thank you as always to MasonMillChiro.com1: In recognition of 4/20 day Cincy played really high and we were not ready for it. At times it felt like we were playing NYRB and we all know how that goes. Usually we can raise our level to make our opponent uncomfortable. Today we couldn’t raise ours to meet theirs. 
2: The energy that Saba brings to EVERY play is DEEPLY appreciated but if he could just dial it back a touch on his final pass, I think with a little more finesse and a little less power he’d have even more end product. 
3: Once again we took far too long to get going. Today it took us an entire half. Teams are figuring out that we don’t seem to be switched on at the start.  It’s a simple thing & it’s killing us.
4: In the high five we talked about how there could be some communication errors to exploit on Cincy’s back line, there weren’t. They looked like how we have looked up until now. They deserve a lot of credit. 
5: We talked last week about how we can’t let conceding soft goals become the story this season. Tonight we wrote another chapter. We have to flip this script IMMEDIATELY.
