Miles Robinson

So I'm sure he'll probably want to be more fit for that.

Maybe take a Miles Robinson approach with, you know, staying healthy for certain things.

But Kenta, just initial thoughts for this match on Saturday.

Yeah, I think it's a worse matchup for Cincinnati.

the Miami result and I guess how the other teams around the league do, if you're still in the position, like if you're ninth in the table and you're still in a position where your result is what matters, like, I don't think you're in a situation where like second to last match day, I don't, maybe, maybe the final match that you're, you know, if you're winning in you know that's that's another conversation i guess but

yeah

uh two matches out i i you can't afford to rush a miles robinson back and then like You won the match, but he gets hurt again.

He's out for the playoffs.

And I hope Haglund is at the peak of his powers, and I think Hedevi looks good, and...

Maybe Miles Robinson finds it within him to come back sooner.

I don't know.

It would be tough for me to say Hagelin should sit.

The thing about Miles, too, on the right-hand side, it's kind of like emblematic.

It's kind of like That's what I'm looking for here.

Like it, it just is the most miles Robinson thing ever given like the contract situation and everything like that is you, you can't play him at center because he doesn't make anyone better around him.

Like you play him on the right and he locks down the right-hand side and is a, like a great player on the right-hand side.

What's odd to me is it just feels like Poch has called him in and never given him a chance.

And it's hard for me to believe that he's going to get opportunities when it just feels like there are openings and Miles Robinson's now playing on his wrong side instead of Mark McKenzie playing.

And they're inverting a fullback into a center back position.

Tim Rehm's getting called in.

And so like in a weird way, I could, like I'm imagining Luna thinking, well, why didn't I get to start in that three? You know, so like all I'll say is that there's weird pairings and there's weird focus that we're not always aware of that this coaching staff is constantly thinking about.

What I would say with Mark, if he comes back, um, I don't think we should ding him the same way.

I don't think we should have been trying to ding miles Robinson for major league soccer.

Like miles could have gone to PSV, but that number and the contract offer was so significantly and drastically different for him.

So getting a tie out of that would be great.

But it was just – defensive breakdowns the the absence of miles robinson really showed and you know you it is what it is and i think we all just kind of thought well get this one over with and and try to dust off for the weekend and the inevitable hell that is hell is real

Yeah, and obviously you go into that match.

We talked about it last week.

I think I mentioned this numerous times over the season that there are coaches that are doing much more with less.

One of whom is a former FC Cincinnati assistant who is absolutely killing it at St. Louis right now.

And I mean, injuries aside, losing, losing miles Robinson is a big blow.

Sure.

This is a team who has spent more money in defense than just about anybody.

Miles Robinson hasn't lived up to the DP deal.

Matt Miosko was on Max Tan before he got bought out.

You cycle in any different number of center backs.

They've cut Miasga because Miasga clearly couldn't stay healthy and wasn't going to be a part of the group.

Hagelin's always hurt.

We know Miles Robinson's out.

This is the other part of this, which I don't listen.
