@LAFC Yet again, the goal was created by individual quality, not by any convincing attacking structure. And now Son is gone for three weeks.
Without Sonny & bouanga to rescue these tactics, the table will start exposing exactly how little Santos has actually built.
@LAFC@BMO_US Once again, it’s a defensive setup designed not to lose, rather than a tactical approach designed to win. We’re going to give up 60% possession anyway. At this point, I’d rather lose this game if it means getting rid of Santos.
@LAFC we’re watching amateur level man oriented pressing, with individual players simply following opponents one by one and it starts as high as the halfway line. No collective triggers, no compactness, no coordinated pressure. It’s tactically embarrassing.
@LAFC@Ticketmaster Fans have been warning about this exact outcome for months. Once Son leaves for the international break, the team will keep sliding down the table. After that, even making the playoffs could become a serious challenge.
@LAFC You can see how limited the attacking structure is when the team can’t even win free kicks around the box. no progressive passes and coordinated movements in the final third that opponents barely have to make a challenge there’s simply no pressure forcing them into fouls.
@LAFC Another game plan built around counterattacking simply to avoid losing, which is steadily draining Sonny and Bouanga’s legs. Their lack of sharpness is becoming obvious, but they never get a real chance to rest because the team has no other way to win games.
@LAFC@BMO_US When the pressure hits, Santos doesn’t look for a way to win he looks for a way not to lose. That’s the difference between a manager who coaches to survive and an elite manager who coaches to win.
@LAFC He’ll probably go back to a back three again. If he loses, he could genuinely get fired, five defenders, no midfield, hoof it to Bouanga and Sonny, get battered, then pray they save us
@LAFC Asking Buanga and Sonny to sprint endlessly and solve every problem on their own is ridiculous. Santos draining them game by game, and honestly, I feel sorry for both of them.
@LAFC@Ticketmaster Tactical criticism is pointless at this stage. How much worse does it have to get before santos replaced, The moment he went with a back three today, I knew exactly how this would end. If you’re staying, at least hire a new tactical analyst.
@LAFC@Ticketmaster No tactics, no ideas, and absolutely nothing to look forward to. Fans have been screaming for a midfielder since last season, but apparently addressing obvious problems is asking too much.
With Santos in charge, we’re never lifting a trophy.
@Y0UNGBUCK0@diallo@LAFC At the end of the day, whether a deal gets done or not is simply a business matter. But Bouanga was the one who made it personal. Business is business, nothing more.
@Y0UNGBUCK0@diallo@LAFC “You’re inches from your dream, and the club shuts it down.”
That was Bouanga’s own public reaction after LAFC blocked his move to Miami. where Messi plays, was clearly the dream destination for him.
@Y0UNGBUCK0@diallo@LAFC A transfer itself is a normal part of professional football. But when a player actively asks to leave, that’s a different matter
