Thought Biro looked great last night. Ervin looks confident out there and from the early eye test seems like he belongs. And yes… Sabo is looking better. I wonder what prompted Davy to ditch the inverted wingbacks vs Puebla? Then not stick with it after such a great success.

Davy needs to reward him with a start. He earned that last night. The midfield was pretty ineffective for 80 minutes. There was a number of times we received the ball in the middle with some space and didn’t turn. I’d like to see that change. The subs won us that game.

Ervin Torres just earned himself a start in my book. Particularly with the lack of effectiveness our midfield had in the first 80 minutes. Reward the kid! Also, the temps last night are one reason I’m happy for the new schedule. #austinfc

I love Dani and will miss him but I like this move and think it’s good business for ATX. That’s a truck load of GAM for a new sporting director and Curtain to use in building a new roster. Doesn’t that seem like a lot of GAM for Dani? Particularly with a couple of recent injuries the last 2 years.

Well… you gotta think Curtin got a vote in it at a minimum. It is interesting that things seem to keep moving as if it’s business as usual. Maybe ChatGPT? 😜

I’m curious who holds the top three spots for PPG and what those averages are… say over 100 games.

I wonder if Davy is going to stay on under yet another regime. Maybe he lasts long enough to be interim head coach after the next hire gets fired. 😜

If MLS games were 70 minutes Austin FC would probably be sitting on a playoff spot right now.

Liked that we started the best 11 players available. First time this season we’ve done that IMO Disliked that Owen, BV and Dani aren’t available. Disliked that being an Austin fan feels very manic this year.

Austin FC going toe to toe with LAFC & Inter Miami the last two weeks is promising. Frustrating that we’re dropping points late, but given the health of our roster I’m feeling good about the second half of the season. Uzuni’s play is also promising but at the end of the day he still isn’t finishing.

Ive tried to stay open to Uzuni being worthy of an Austin FC DP spot, but his performance since arriving has made it difficult & Ive written him off. His efforts are always great, but he’s unable to finish. Last night I felt he showed signs of being the DP we need. I hope I can change my tune.

I enjoy your debates entering my feed. While this is over generalized, there seem to be two types of national pundits, ones that understand they don’t know everything and are offering an opinion, and those that say they don’t know everything, but don’t really believe it, and think they speak facts.

I’ll weight in on the Austin FC red card. Biro may be paying for past discretions. Not a red in mind but I think it was a bad play on his part. He did his job and slowed the break, but then he proceeds to yank on his arm and follows with careless studs to the leg. Seemed like bad decision making.

Austin FC’s 4 points is second best start after two games… behind the blistering 2 wins and 10 goal start in 2022. If they secure a win next week, 7 points would be their highest point total after 3 games and a draw still gets them their first three game unbeaten streak to start a season.

If Nico benched Uzuni I feel like he’d completely fall apart and he’d have an existential crisis. His performance really makes you wonder what has happened since his time in LaLiga and LaLiga II. How was he a golden boot.

With leagues cup and us open cup it’s definitely a good problem to have. I like our positional flexibility, or at least what i perceive it to be. Looking forward to seeing how the pieces lineup today.

I’m indifferent on this. Something needs to done with him eventually but waiting isn’t the end of the world. We do need some solid production out of him in the 1st part of the season for the obvious reason of helping the team, but also building value and as an alternative to BV if he struggles.

I will withhold my excitement until @tombogert.bsky.social confirms. I’m still hopeful Uzuni has a great sophomore season but even if he does, I feel like he’s a bad roster fit with a healthy and effective BV.

I find your choice of Djordjevic over BHI interesting and one that I agree with. I’m really hoping Nico leans into the young talent and gives them the minutes needed to develop. But that would also mean I’d swap Illie for Duber. Although I can see how Illie’s experience could benefit this lineup.

Good to back in the North End. Not a lot of takeaways today, hard to tell with the lineups. We had a ton of possession in the 1st half but never looked dangerous. NYC did manage to get behind a few times. Stu made some good saves but ultimately missed a couple. No DPs or Owen is not a good look. ☹️

As a dad to an 11 year old soccer player who loves Austin FC… I often used Obie as an example of how not to behave on the pitch. I wish him luck on the remainder of career and I’m grateful it’s not going to be at Austin FC.

Seems like Austin FC is building the roster for the long term with some young-ish players that have their prime years ahead of them. The back half of the 2020’s could be fun at Q2.

That’s exactly what I was was hoping for Uzuni too. See if we can build his value back up and not take a bath on him.

I was a bit vague. The formation . I wonder how you get Uzuni and BV to be cohesive, especially now that we have two new wingers that seem like lock-in starters. Do we try dual strikers again? Any chance they see if Torres can play CAM? It feels like we are going to have some ??? when BV is back.

Ownership is showing they are willing to spend big money and take chances. As a fan what more can you ask. If he throws up 2024 goal numbers I couldn’t care less if he has less than double digit assists.

My son was at a soccer clinic last night put on by Diego Rubio and his brother. Ilie showed up to watch for a bit. I wanted to go ask him if he was on the supplemental roster. 😂 Y’all have turned me into an MLS roster sicko.

I’d agree. It feels incomplete. I’d like us to find a final U22 on a creative attacking mid and go young in 2026 and take the 2m in GAM.
