1: We’re not well versed in the dark arts but we’ve a read a book or two on the matter. That was a different kind of win. It was gritty and far from being dominant, but we were dominant in key moments. 

2: We are 100% committed to playing out the back and we’re finally getting a taste of how that’s SUPPOSED to work. It’s high risk high reward and tonight it was executed really well. 

3: The league might want to set its clocks to Saba time. We’ve had buzzing players before who pop up everywhere and appear to be dangerous but this guy IS dangerous. Underestimate him at your peril. 

4: We mostly had all the benefits of an opposition high press and very little of the consequences. Orlando held a high line of confrontation but didn’t get very confrontational until around the 60th. 

5: Really happy to see Giorgos be more involved in the build up. It shows him to be even more dangerous because of it. The ball to Saba was perfect. He’s much more than a big target forward.

1: We at least desired to counterattack tonight, but lacked execution. That’s on coaching. Our best open play opportunity came from Thiago after staying compact and winning the ball back and GOING. 

2: In the first half there JNCO sized pockets of space that no one was running in to. That’s on the players. The movement off the ball in the second half improved. Hard to counter when the runs don’t happen. 

3: Guzan isn’t losing his spot. He was great. 

4: Defensively we look much more organized and compact. There were a couple scary moments in the first half but you can see that the chemistry and communication is building. 

5: Maybe a small thing, but Gonzo did not look all that thrilled at the end. Good. I think he was really annoyed at the goal we conceded, even if it was a quality hit from a man who’s done it many times before. The mentality of not being satisfied is good.

On this week's 5 Aside we discuss

1: Which clubs around the world sold the most shirts

2: The expansion of CCC and it's affect on other competitions

1: Count’em on one hand, maybe no hands, how many balls we won back in Columbus' half, or our own half for that matter. That has to be the key to our success this year and it was absent today.  Barto looked lost.

2: The goal was not on Guz but regardless he did not look great. He guessed right on the PK, and that’s huge and I believe his first PK save in 8 years, but apart from that, poor distribution, uncomfortable on the ball and he looked surprisingly unsure of himself. 

3: A solid 30 second stretch for Atlanta was how the play by play voice ended the first half after our only real attacking threat and that sums up our first half pretty succinctly. It was poor in every facet. That continued for long stretches in the 2nd. 

4: Our best attacking chances came off counter attacks and transition play. There just wasn’t enough of it. I didn’t understand our absolute insistence on playing back every time. It looked reminiscent of the early FDB days. 

5: Guz had 46 touches,  more than GG or Saba. Yes Thiago, apart from his blocked shot, was not his best, but we had no discernible attacking patterns of play. Dunno if that’s players not understanding Pineda or Pineda not communicating well to the players but it has to be fixed.
