FCC Hot Takes

@LaurelPfahler @stenten It sets up two ideal scenarios; If Miazga *can* lead the backline for the first bit, it builds confidence and develops him towards being full 90 ready again. If we get scored on before 25-35, Miles reinvigorates the backline and puts pressure on Miazga as a defensive leader.

@stenten I get that but also why would you not want to start your best lineup?

#FCCincy coach Pat Noonan confirmed that Matt Miazga and Miles Robinson were on a minutes restriction: “So it's not ideal to take two experienced guys out along the back line, but that's our reality.” Also: Andrei Chirila is in concussion protocol.

@stenten @LaurelPfahler Subbing Miles on at 25-35 on the clock prevents the exact situation he described. There’s simply no f’ing way a coach of his caliber can’t see that simple of a solution on the table, and then blame it for why we had no defense. Mind bogglingly frustrating

@LaurelPfahler Why start both at the same time forcing him to sub two at the same time instead of staggering them?

Tonight was patently pathetic. Miazga should never don the jersey again the second half ref fix was objectively blatant. Play back the second half and watch every contact on Denkey magically go Miami’s way. >$9.351 million invested into one of the worst defenses in the league.

>$9,351,000 in spending between Robinson, Miazga, Obi, Hadebe, Flores, and Anunga. What a wonderful lot of dropped leads we’ve invested in.

Bucha is the most comprehensively ‘complete’ player we have ever signed. man should be on a top 3 team in any european league. king

@computedude You’re right. That ‘someone’ should maybe be the DP defender who’s still actually decent enough to get USMNT time, & hasn’t been on an injury list for months. Miazga is to blame for the end of our best post-season run, and probably the only chance we’ve had at an MLS cup to date

@fccfuegotakes You have to be kidding. Somebody has to take charge back there. Yep Miazga made a big mistake on that Miami goal

and this game Miazga’s full-shout laying into Gidi. First Chirila last week, now this. man focus on your goddamn self, you aren’t performing well enough to have this kind of bark towards the players who *have* been consistently performing

@cream_my_cheese blood for the Goal Gods

I stepped on my cheese coney celebrating denkey’s goal 🕊️

@WarPigsChief Man has been an extra wingback all game. King shit.

I see you hustling to get back on defense Kenji. 🫡

@CarterChapley Celentano had that 10000% he deferred to the more “veteran player”

If Celentano keeps coming out he grabs the ball with ease. It looked like neither were sure so Miazga tried the late clearance...unfortunate. But 1-0 all the same. #AllForCincy #CINvMIA

@ryanvaughan78 I sure as shit hope whatever he screamed at Chirlia went in one ear & out the other.

@fccfuegotakes I don't care how old he is. If he needs to be yelled at I'm fine with Matt chewing him out. If he can't handle that he shouldn't be out there. PS he handled it just fine.

Was Miazga losing his shit at Chirila there..? dude. chill. Kid is 17. what kind of leader are you..?

SHUT YOUR GOD DAMNED MOUTH MIAZGA I absolutely NEVER want to see this clown open his mouth towards one of our players again, let alone don the kit. excellent work paying this moron what he gets paid, Chris.

in Reece’s name I pray for a Save the Whitecaps chant tonight from the Bailey. To the right of the bailey tonight but make me proud fellas 🫡

@WarPigsChief He’s so short cause the years of using roids as a child & teenager fused his growth plates

Lionel Messi took PEDs. Tell your friends.
