Good write up. I was saying the same thing watching the game in stadium and Sunday morning when I watched it again. I would just add the Macmath’s positioning on the 2nd goal is poor. He is located too deep (close to his line) and too far to his left leaving his right post open for Wolff to hit. While he has made some big saves this year, MacMath seems to have taken a step or 2 back from where he was at last year.
Pablo’s comments are sad. You know you don’t have a “destroyer” 6 so adjust your tactics to what you have. Ojeda and Jasper were caught out of the middle of the field more times than just the 2 goals. We don’t pressure the ball effectively. We leave wingers running up the sides because our outside backs have to pinch in and the outside mids/wingers don’t track back often (Gomez was refreshing this last match for his tracking). As the manager, he should know the way the team was set up so he can adjust instead of having to go back to look. “It’s just football” will leave RSL on the outside of the playoffs looking in.
