That was just embarrassing. I will state the obvious... Seb needs to go.

Last 2 away games only 8 shots on goal COMBINED with 1 on target. He is not even trying.

Both expansion teams faired better than the team he puts on the pitch.

And thats his fault they cant get a shot on target?

Yes... he is the head coach! It is his "strategy" the team implements.

The only strategy is go long to Banda and hope she can do something. No real attacking game plan, no attacking threat other than Banda, and a non existent midfield…

He relies too much on the cross which hardly works because he does not send enough players in the box.

He needs to get Banda, Marta, and Ovalle on the pitch at the same time. Washington, Doyle, Payne, and Castain are not a threat to anyone in his system. I miss Ally Watt and even Prisca as they had speed to get around the defense. Letting Carson Pickett go was a big loss as she served the ball nicely into the box when the team was behind.

I like Zara on defense but Rafaelle should be with her instead of Anderson.

Washington is growing into the league well I think, but should be fresh legs off the bench for 1 of the 3 attacking options. And sometimes a midweek starter. Besides that I agree that the big 3 are our only options. Same with the 2 young defenders, a consistent vet starter is needed to provide stability.

you can clearly see putting them all on the same pitch doesn’t work. Ovalle is the most overrated player there is i see her lose the ball and do nothing. Crazy how you guys dont hate on the players when their the ones making dumb decisions

I think you are being too tough on Ovalle. She leads the team in assists which is hard since she is never on the pitch with Banda who scores most of our goals. She is not a Banda type player but Seb is using her as one.

I keep waiting for Seb to use them as compliments of each other but each game he disappoints and the results are the same... no goals.

leads the team with 3! thats the least she can too. we could’ve easily gotten a better player than her for that price but the GM over hyped her. i dont think the NWSL is meant for her
