  1. It’s incredible how we always think it can be worse next year and they stay proving us wrong.
  2. Season is over in just 6 plays into the season. smh
  3. Well, with Miles' injury today, good bet that Chuba gets plenty touches week 1.
  4. If he shits the bed early, let him play the rest of the season. Let’s get that number 1 pick baby.
  5. Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year. Im not stressing.
  6. WESTWOOD REPLACED????? WHAAAAT He’s been nothing but solid since coming in. Manning and conducting the pivot position with ease. He’s a huge factor as to why we’ve allowed the 2nd least goals in the MLS. Apart from playing Pivot, he can roam from his position and still plays solid.
  7. It’s so obvious that we lack there, so anything else would be extremely disappointing. Was watching with spanish commentary last night and the commentators kept saying “If this Charlotte team could learn how to play and finish in the opposite end, watch out…”
  8. You wanted to be educated, get prepared… What @MillionDollarCam said about Kahlina and the defense, we’re currently tied for 2nd for fewest goals allowed, with a current streak of 4 straight shutouts. Positional thoughts… GK - Already mentioned Kahlina DEFENDERS - Back four have been solid, even more the central defenders, Malanda and Privett. We knew Malanda had potential and he’s living up to it so far this season. Privett, even though solid last year, his potential was never clear, but this season he’s showing his true potential. Fullbacks, Byrne and Uronen also solid. Uronen currently injured (not sure how long) and hopefully not too long cause the current backup, Joao Pedro has been a liability these last 2 games when filling in. Byrne’s backup, we still have Lindsey who fills in nicely as a sub or whenever starts to give Byrne some light rest. Other backups, Diop and Tuiloma. Diop has yet to play this season I believe and Tuiloma, below average to average. MIDFIELDERS - Ashley Westwood is top notch, nothing bad at all to say about the guy, imo. Box to box midfielder, takes ownership of the defensive midfield area when opposition has the ball and support upfield when Charlotte is in control. Diani seems like a similar player as Westwood, but obviously not as good. Petkovic, Bronico play a bit more upfield but Bronico being more defense focused. Same as Arfield and Urso, Urso a bit more defense focused. Then there’s Djaegere, who even though he’s the no. 10 and should be the playmaking outfielder, just looks lost out there most of the time, and unfortunately he’s been out there plenty. Cambridge and Bender (injury) have to played so far this year. WINGERS - Because of injuries, Djaegere has been asked to play there plenty and I already mentioned my thoughts about him. Maybe playing out of position is why he looks lost but he makes the simplest mistakes and awful passes at times. Main guys are Vargas and Abada. Abada has been bc of injury almost 2 months I think? I believe returns next game against Philly. But when he’s in, oh man the attack level picks up a lotttt. He knows how to time his runs perfectly to get open. Vargas is a threat to get into the box and get open as well but sometimes he misses the easy passes (idk if it’s bc selfish or just doesn’t see it) and decides to shoot, needs to work on his vision. FORWARDS - Swiderski is currently out on loan in Italy, but Italy could buy him at the end of the loan, which may happen. Iuri Tavares, back up, his natural position is forward but has been playing this season mostly on the wing since we lack players there and injuries. Below average to average, has his moments winning one-on-one. Even though he’s no longer on the team, he needs to be mentioned Enzo Copetti…brought in as a DP who never played to that form last year but not really “bad” either. but oh man this year… Horrible, I don’t even know how else to put it. After 2-3 horrible games to start the season, Dean Smith started to played the back up more and more And that leads me to Patrick Agyemang. When he started subbed in for Copetti, such a difference. Easily better than Copetti, which is insane if you think about that he came through CLT through the draft last year (which usually doesn’t yield good players quick) and Copetti was a DP. So that led to Charlotte selling Copetti, he went bye bye and now it’s Agyemang’s spot and deserved. So in summary: Defense: STRONG Midfield: Outside of Westwood, needs work..starting with getting Djaegere out and finding a true playmaker Wings: Solid when healthy, need depth Forward: Agyemang average but still growing, and is just going to get better. With Jozwiak out during the past transfer window and now Copetti, there’s 2 DP slots open for Charlotte to get some real good players. And seeing how Dean Smith has evaluated players this season, I trust they’ll get the right guys. Dean Smith, he’s done amazing for what he’s been dealt with and he’s not afraid of playing younger players over experienced ones.
  9. Hopefully a #10. We can barely get any opportunities through the midfield. Seems like we can only create opportunities from crosses or long balls.
  10. About damn time. We should be ok for some time, considering what he's done so far this season, we're not losing anything.
  11. I thought the Lions already picked him.
  12. Probably won’t happen, you’re crazy
  13. HELL YEAHHHHHH. now let’s see who’s the first person to complain.
  14. well, I know nothing about that player.
  15. FRANKLIN, TAMPA, SANDERS AND WILSON ALL ON THE BOARD AND WE’RE ON THE CLOCK. one of them pretty please
  16. omg i forgot about tampa. to be able to get franklin, tampa, wilson or sanders at 72. omg pleaseee
