Author: 101 ESPN | Hubbard Radio September 5, 2024 Duration: 40:11
Moon & Rocc are back for a big episode after CITY's big win over the LA Galaxy this past weekend, one of the more quiet weeks of training since July & some big expectations for a very winnable (but still very much AWAY) match... Moon has declared this an All-Positives episode! Rocc immediately tries to throw him off with some points about CITY being dominated at times, on paper, by the Galaxy The difference between CITY giving up possession in June vs. doing it now with this lineup, system How the different formations helped create CITY's offense in the 1st half How Nerwinski's usage during the game is a perfect example of CITY's full game Moon starting to finally see the cohesiveness from the backline that he's been BEGGING for Why the opening kickoff was one of the biggest takeaways from the game The 4 positions that are creating 'tough' battles for CITY in training Why the fullback depth is one of the most interesting aspects of CITY right now How good it feels to be having a discussion about depth after where CITY was a couple months ago Whether Rocc expects to see similar formational changes against New England How CITY can continue building on their success of "killing games" Why CITY fans need to forget the word "conservative" when talking about how this team will ever play Seeing the offense build-up and attack from the right side for maybe the first time...ever? The Tim Parker reunion Early lineup & score predictions Did Moon stay positive the entire show or was Rocc able to knock him off?
