The one where we went five in the back and looked better in attack | Five Takes on the Five Stripes

On this episode of Five Takes on the Five Stripes...

??Takes
? Your takes and low-key MOM
?The importance of adaptability
? Guz slander
? A complicated equation


1: The best first half we’ve seen all season and not just because of Saba resetting all of Miami’s clocks. The team was calm and composed in the middle of the pitch. Comfortable and fluid in our buildup. Good off the ball movement particularly within the final third. Less of the ball, more of the attack IN TRANSITION, very productive. Fancy that.

2: Derek Williams is low key massive for this team. Everything feels more calm and assured. We saw him actively communicating when Miami was on the attack and also when we started our build up play….or a COUNTER ATTACK. We’ve been missing a conductor on the backline.

3: That was Almada at his best. He could’ve scored if he’d be a little more direct and a little more selfish but that’s the level of play we got accustomed to and just haven’t seen.

4: Muyumba was stirring the pot the whole game. Dynamic and crafty on the ball. Good vision to see…good attacking runs in behind. Fancy that. The guy was pulling the strings all night. If there’s anything critical to say, at times he tried to do too much.

5: In some ways this result is surprising, and in others it’s not. For reasons unknown, this team needs extra motivation to get going. Whether that comes from going down a goal, going down a man or in tonight’s case, going against the ?. The pressure of the game itself never seems to be enough motivation.
