Marc Dos Santos

They have to do everything out of that two-man midfield because there literally was no other midfielders.

Mark Dos Santos admitted that he had Sergi Palencia and he had Eddie Segura on the bench and those guys were not available.

And one of the reasons why is because MLS forces them to have so many players on the bench.

while he's also not able to bring up players from LFC2 unless they're going to offer them a contract.

I think it's going to, it's going to continue to be this way until the roster is complete.

These guys are integrated.

And then we'll really get to see again, what Mark Dos Santos is made out of and what this LFC team can be.

But until then, We're a little bit in alert right now.

Expect Igor Jesus to get minutes.

in this one now look every coach has a game plan and every coach has an idea of how they want to substitute that's one of the things that we probably pick on mark dos santos for more than anything else but he has said igor jesus could get minutes in this one could not will could get minutes uh and for the new york red bulls it's really only one guy out and it's for a suspension not for an injury but a big key piece in their midfield center made Ronald Donkor.

He is suspended for this one.

He has played over 2000 minutes, 2000 minutes for them already in the midfield.

You invite the first wave, break it cleanly, and immediately attack the space behind it.

That's where having Sonny and Buonga narrow and close together becomes devastating.

Mark Dos Santos specifically noted after the RSL game that the back three shape lets his forwards play closer together and creates opportunities in transition.

We've already discussed how many goals the Harrison Red Bull can see.

So just dumping it back to the other, like just punting it is not really... doing anything for me uh it seems like a pretty bad mistake to make and they were doing it a lot um but to be fair they all just seem pretty gassed early and that's another step for me uh the subs were pretty clearly needed five minutes ten minutes before the that next goal from rsl came I would have been happy to see subs in the 60th minute.

And I don't think I'm as used to feeling this way with Mark Dos Santos as I feel like I was feeling this way a lot with Steve Tarantolo, ironically, because I don't know.

I'm not feeling great about Mark Dos Santos these days right now, but I will say he does seem to get subs in... quicker uh in a way that i have appreciated up until now so uh yeah it's it's not it's not feeling good uh the knife twist tonight was the air horn in the stands for me um what was that salt lake city please stop just don't do that we could have won and i still would feel this way i'm not just being bitter that was awful Do chants.

Like, have a supporter section.

What are you doing? That was awful.

But this is a team that can compete against those big teams.

They can compete against the Tolucas, the Club Americas, the Monterreys.

the Miami's they can't and we've seen it throughout the like throughout the entire history of this club they can't compete but for some reason right now especially this isn't just they can't just figure it out and you can blame him Mark Dos Santos like you can blame him sure I in the end like maybe it is it is totally on him maybe the taxes are like that we um sometimes it is on the player sometimes like all the coach can do is just put it all out there like all right execute the plan and uh maybe the players can execute that plan i feel like vince right now i think he's something the spirit but like sometimes it is on the players sometimes it is on the coach it depending on it but i think i agreed with this with what he said in preview episode If with the players he has, which we just signed, if he can't do it, then you have to say it's on Mark DeSanto.
