I was pretty low in the supporters section, so my view of the field was not great.
But this looks like our best defense we have had since Gabrielsen in '22, and we could end up with one of the best defenses in the league.
KC is also shit, so I should probably hold off on that kind of talk. Ilie is a massive upgrade, as we dominated the midfield for the full 90.
We need to take our shots. I don't think Owen and Dani are good enough to control and create in this horseshoe offense. And our service still sucks ass, so we need crosses and shots in volume.
We have a legit target man in Vasquez and two extremely quick wingers, let's fucking send the ball long and risk losing it in their third. We were winning it back from KC in the MF consistently, but Owen and Dani are vulnerable in possession and will give the ball away in bad spots.
We will need Biro and Dessler to make accurate crosses in that offense. Obrian and Bukari are best in transition imo.
Overall, this team looks a lot better and while we may not have an offensive player the caliber of Seba, '22 Seba was not going to suit up for this team again.
Vasquez is going to be fun to watch. I would bet he will have a brace soon.
Great first game, offensive chemistry will take time, so I am hopeful we will be scoring a lot by mid season.
