GONZALO PINEDA SAYS IT'S PROGRESSION! + MAILBAG: WHY ARE WE REGRESSING AS A TEAM? & BATTLE OF THE UNITEDS! | FIVE STRIPE WEEKLY #312

On this episode....
- 5 Takes
- Your takes and low-keys
- Should he stay or should he go
- Falcons prioritizing mediocrity 
- What do we need to see in May?

1: To the left to the left, everything we had was going down the left. Points for trying, but nothing really threatening came of it. Grant it we are missing Xande but even with him in the XI we haven’t been able to create any attacking threats and that continues to be the case. 

2: In the voice of Paula Cole Where is our set piece threat? Why can’t we score a goal? Where have all our free kicks gone? Seriously, we use to be somewhat productive from free kicks and corners and now we get very little from either. 

3: We still look incredibly shaky on dead ball situations and resets in play. Literally with any stoppage in play we just don’t look ready when play resumes and the scouting report is out on that aspect of this team because we’re seeing more and more teams take free kicks and throw ins quickly. 

4: We looked really good in the last 20 minutes. If we could just figure out the other 70 we might really have something. It continues to be a total mystery as to why we cannot play with urgency and attacking dynamism over the course of an entire 90 minutes. Clearly we can do it in moments. We just should be able to replicate that over an entire match. 

5: We can’t count on our counter press. We don’t look in sync at all when we try to win the ball back. The players just look confused as to what the trigger for the press is. Credit to Slisz and also Dax, who we need to see more of FWIW, for individual efforts but it has to be more about the collective than one or two players.

Is it on Pineda or is it on the players? | Five Takes on the Five Stripes | An Atlanta United Fan TV Podcast

In this episode of Five Stripe Weekly, AJ and Michael review Atlanta United vs FC Cincy where an early lead led to another misfortune in capitulation! Was it naivete in performance or coaching? They discuss the news from the past week, including the magical sale of a player surplus to requirements and a former Five Stripe banned for doping! In addition, they answer your burning questions from the Mailbag, including which positions we should reinforce during the summer transfer window? They also preview the match over the weekend vs the Chicago Fire in what might be our best chance to get 3 pts on the road so far this season! What are your thoughts? COMMENT TO JOIN IN!

WILL PINEDA LEARN OR IS IT PINEDA OUT? + HOW DO ATLUTD GET FIRST AWAY WIN? | FIVE STRIPE WEEKLY #311

On this episode...
5 Takes
Low-key MOM
Your takes
Coaching vs player performance 
Exploiting the new rules 

Thank you as always to MasonMillChiro.com

1: In recognition of 4/20 day Cincy played really high and we were not ready for it. At times it felt like we were playing NYRB and we all know how that goes. Usually we can raise our level to make our opponent uncomfortable. Today we couldn’t raise ours to meet theirs. 

2: The energy that Saba brings to EVERY play is DEEPLY appreciated but if he could just dial it back a touch on his final pass, I think with a little more finesse and a little less power he’d have even more end product. 

3: Once again we took far too long to get going. Today it took us an entire half. Teams are figuring out that we don’t seem to be switched on at the start.  It’s a simple thing & it’s killing us.

4: In the high five we talked about how there could be some communication errors to exploit on Cincy’s back line, there weren’t. They looked like how we have looked up until now. They deserve a lot of credit. 

5: We talked last week about how we can’t let conceding soft goals become the story this season. Tonight we wrote another chapter. We have to flip this script IMMEDIATELY.
