Marco Pašalić

And when they brought in Jonathan Bamba at halftime, I felt like Orlando's midfield had no tactical answer to disrupt the rhythm and to intercept any build-up play that Chicago will create.

And then to me, and again, this is another opinion, I don't know if you agree, but they tried to stop the bleeding by bringing Marco Pasalic in the dying minutes.

and a wielder Cartagena.

And I felt like those substitutions, especially wielders should have come a little bit sooner, you know? And again, this is something that just relies and lays on the inexperience of your interim coach, unfortunately.

I mean, look how many people we're going to have on the bench.

Marco Pasalic, if Atuesta can't find a spot to start here, Atuesta ends up on the bench.

You still have...

I know Thiago's in the doghouse, but you still have Thiago who would be on the bench as well.

And Perelman, every single game, has a really tough lineup decision to make.

I mean, Marko Pasalic and Justin Ellis didn't even start in this game.

DRLDK started up top.

Martino Hayda started sort of on the left.

I think that's still the case for Columbus.

For Orlando, I believe, I believe this was just the second game that we have seen where Antoine Griezmann, Martino Ojeda, and Marko Pašalić started together for Orlando City.

Oh boy, it was fun.

Justin Ellis, uh, on the bench in this game.

But yeah.

Uh, yeah, tha- then as we said, uh, Šutalo, Juranovic and Seferovic there's no reason, especially after Marko Pasalic has not been playing well.

Uh, he played okay against Czechia, but again, that's only one real winger we have, so Seferovic is the natural second option instead of, uh, Luka Sučić, Ivanović who-

Yeah

Um-

Yeah

... you know, Marko Pasalic has...

He, he's, he's generally done fine.

Mm-hmm.

Marco Pasalic isn't gonna start again.

He's gonna go back to the bench most likely.

So that means you still have Marco Pasalic to come off the bench as well.

And so again, maybe that's, maybe it's all three guys duking it out to fight for a winger spot when they're coming on and trying to chase the game a little bit.

So it'll be really interesting to see kind of how they piece it together.
