I don't see the problem with what he said. He's 100% correct.
We don't have enough guys who you can rely on to give you a consistent performance - not just game to game, but minute to minute. The mistakes our players are making are not due to the system being played, it's due to brain farts and simple errors. Stupid decisions that lead to very bad turn overs that put us in very compromising positions. Maybe that happens 1-2 times a game. But with us it's happening almost every time certain players are around the ball.
The system isn't the problem right now. It's the players. The lack of first team quality and the lack of depth. What questions does he need to ask of himself?
If you want to ask him why he doesn't change the entire system to accomodate his worst players, then ask him that.
Ask him why he doesn’t put his best players, the guys who can actually win you games in this system, in a system that doesn't allow them to shine
- Ask him why he doesn't play a flat back 4 where Richie and Mimmo can't move forward because there is a 90% change the kids will turn the ball over and will need to be bailed out.
- Ask him why he doesn't move Insigne to the middle of the pitch, somewhere he's never really played, to feed through balls to Ayo who may or may not be onside for those balls
- Ask him why we didn't keep Pozuelo who can do exactly what I mentioned above, but then encroaches on the spaces Berna and Insigne play or just bypasses those guys altogether.
- ask him why he doesn't play a more narrow system with 8 guys behind the ball so that no one can take a shot on Bono
This is what people are asking when they say he needs to be more flexible with his system. Why cater to guys who probably won't be a factor next season? This season gave everyone on that roster an opportunity to learn how to play the TFC style that will be on display for at least the next 3-4 years. If they can't do it, then we go find someone else ASAP.
And if you're asking why he didn't get. more guys in this year - You don't get good MLS players in the June window. The off seasons is when you can get legitimate MLS level talent without having to trade away big assets + cash.
Why change our style of play in order to have some of these guys succeed in some other random system? then what? how do you know who to get rid of/replace to actually play the style you want?
If Ayo score 10 goals this year with the ball only being played through the middle and Bernie and Insigne being left on the wings to rot with minimal chances on target, what do you do next year? continue to have them rot so that Ayo can score 10 goals?
