Heartbreak in Portland, CITY's Ability to 'Control' & Do They Have a Chance to Slow Down LA?

Listen Later

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?
