Neville had all those guys and didn't do a thing. But again I'm not "Jack truther", I agree he had some things in his favor. My point is this group of guys ain't playing Pep ball and instead of being pragmatic, square pegs are being forced into round holes with predictable results.

and TBC I'm not a Jack truther and didn't think he was a long term solution but there is no denying he got the guys bought into a very simple system that clearly fit the personnel we have.

Competing. He's made this team, THIS team (not some mythical future team everyone sure seems confidence Ned is going to put together) worse. Jack had them competing for every challenge, every ball. Winning their duels, owning their role.

I was told there was no season on the line, this season doesn't matter, nor does the 2027-28 season. Ignore all results.

I'm not expecting miracles but Cassidy was able to at least get then to play competent, basic footy. Whatever we are seeing out there isn't that.

I've heard guys like the two Adams now say we can't judge anything until 2028 season! Se we are all just supposed to check out until then? Cheer for xG and possession? The lack of ambition, and accountability, is stunning.

This is going to be the hallmark of the Martiball era. People pointing to this possession stat, or that XG stat or chance creations while being told to ignore actual scores.

This is literally what got Nancy drummed out of Celtic in 6 weeks. Implementing a complicated possession based system in the middle of a season with players incapable of said system is stupid.

Not play an absurdly high line against a $20 million dollar striker who’s fast as lightening with said band aid defenders? 🤷‍♂️

Half this squad is gone. We all know that. As I said- it’s entirely possible to do both as a new manager until you can get the guys in who are a better fit. Just forcing round pegs into square holes then blaming them for not fitting is a shit way to start a tenure. And the results reflect this.

I hate HATE being this cynical but we’ve been told to wait for a lot of transfer windows over the past 4/5 seasons.

It’s possible to implement a style and philosophy of play in the long term while still remaining pragmatic in the short term. It’s called respecting the fans who actually care about their team. It’s entirely possible to do both.

He’s made this team demonstrably worse in the short term. And we are being asked to trust in some process there’s zero evidence is going to prove successful. I’m very skeptical of a manager handed a team on 7 game winning streak & turned it into whatever this is.

But all the smart podcast bros tell us it’s just something we have to accept. That this is ALL PART OF THE PLAN. waves hands. Something something. Marti ball. Just wait, trust the “process”.

Aim higher. Ned is a yes man. His cautious approach and lack of any ambitious is a feature not a flaw. Nothing changes until the owner does.

Sure feels like tactically he’s setting up the team to the same vulnerabilities we saw under Neville.

Nearly every result went the Timbers way tonight. Kinda wild. As far as I can tell it's down to this tomorrow: Timbers still need Austin and Chicago to lose and then they need to best both (plus Charlotte) on GD. Still a long shot but remarkably remain still in it. #rctid.

Against decent competition it’s wild how lacking the right side of the Timbers team is. Bye- Lassiter- Antony it’s all really subpar. It has to be a transfer target area for improvement. #rctid

Cassidy’s instant success while a lot of fun, brings into stark focus the question of why fans were subjected to rank, sub-par mediocrity in Neville long after it was obvious he wasn’t up for it. #rctid

I have been strongly pro- Moda center $$ because I think long term investment in this publicly owned facility makes a lot of sense for many reasons but holy hell these guys are making it nearly impossible. Just straight up assholes.They are not acting like men who care about long term relationships

I will add that there is just as much, if not more, travel and club soccer in the girls game and nobody decries it's influence on the Women's National Team. If anything they credit it's success to it!

The thing with Ned is he doesn't seem to ever do anything in a timely manner. All significant transfers happen late in windows, ditto for this process. I don't need a gunslinger but damn all these deadline deals really set back the calendar.

I’m telling ya, these freshly laid World Cup sod fields are going to become an intense talking point in the next couple of Erie. Dead cat bounces. Weird hops off of seams. Some match will be decided by the field.

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

Congressional Dems need to announce that after the mid terms they will pass a bill that any recipients of these $$ will be taxed at 100%. Or some variety of that - a number of options.

Okay that's fair. Your lack of trust is well founded. I will say MLS was the guinea pig for a few rules recently (sub time and inujuries) that were implemented well and have vastly improved the time wasting in games IMO.

Have you watched college soccer? It's a vastly better experience IMO clock wise - the clock is the clock. No incentives for players to roll around like fools for 3 minutes etc.

The last Timbers manager I can remember that has united the fan base in their utter disgust of him was Chris Agnello.

It’s because the good things are both positive & theoretical “universal health care!” vs the bad things which are negative and concrete/visceral “no more food stamps for illegals”.
