Author: 101 ESPN | Hubbard Radio August 29, 2024 Duration: 38:36
Moon & Rocc are back to talk about another week of CITY news & notes following the restart of the MLS league schedule, CITY letting multiple 2-goal leads slip away in Portland, more discussions around the CITY defense, if the fundamentals are the biggest issue and the hopes for a big matchup against the Galaxy on Sunday: The disappointment is PALPABLE after a draw in Portland Where this draw puts them in their run to a playoff spot More offensive positivity, same defensive problems... Could we see some defensive changes after we saw them give up three leads? Can't believe we're having this conversation with Totland of all players... Some questions around the FK that broke CITY in Portland Is this possession conversation...pointless? CITY doesn't need to win possession, but the ball control in Portland was unacceptable Injury update as Klauss MIGHT get some time on Sunday, Alm+Nilsson still need time Thanks to Jen for the notes from training! Galaxy and CITY have gone VERY different directions since that 3-3 draw in the Spring Rocchio doesn't see how CITY slows down this Galaxy attack Has CITY become a better possession/control team since Hackworth took over? Some fans want to see them 'park the bus' with a lead--but we will ever see this team make that call? A little tactical change that CITY pulled out to utilize Kessler, Lowen & Hartel in new ways Is this the game we see CITY use the new depth on defense to play with a 3/5-man backline? How we would deploy the team with that formation We saw SOME defensive development (before it fell apart), will we see more this weekend?
