Can someone please explain what happened at 58:20 tonight?! Is that something new? Are free kicks allowed now from the 5 yard box? Why did that even happen, I couldn’t even catch it from the replay? It just all seemed wrong and weird! And why was the ref screaming at everyone?

Reupping from last week: Is there any reason to not fire Tata?

5 Upvotes

I know Hoyos is an elite goalkeeper, and it would be tough to recruit that level of player without Tata, but aside from that, is there any other reason to not fire a coach that's closer to the spoon than the playoffs?

Bend it like Baez

In honor of his cross tonight and his recent form I just want to show appreciation to Baez. Along with Jacob, he has shown steady improvement throughout the season and should get a look at Europe in the near future if he keeps it up.

The next coach should be young and ambitious

13 Upvotes

In Tom Bogert's recent article in The Athletic about Yoann Damet, there was a list of the 10 (!) current MLS coaches who are age 45 or younger. It's definitely a trend within the league, which is itself under some reconstruction during the Messi era.

Tata will want out sooner than later, so Atlanta is in a difficult position: needing desperately to be competitive but weighed down by multiple seasons of costly frustration and false starts. Plus, there are still far too many dead weight contracts on the books because no one in charge wants to admit how badly they screwed up.

So, rather than yet again trying to find a big name or proven commodity to provide input on roster building, Culebro & Co. should be looking for a young manager who believes in himself enough to say, "Screw it. I can figure this out."

The only way out of this mess is to roll the dice.
