pretty confident right you should have been always felt calm finebros so let me lay it out right the Pavone saga seems like it's gonna finish tomorrow right by all indications everybody coming out and saying that it looks like tomorrow's the day that Boca and it seems like that Boca and galaxy finally came to agreement with a loan for the rest of the year worth two million dollars for option buy that seems to be twenty five million dollars that's that sounds about right like you know moolah but let's see what you could do it in in in the nine games or actually the prodigal played seven games now he's gonna play all up until next summer is it like so it's not about one it's a one-year deal okay okay listen because at this point I'm sure all you guys heard like there let me just do a quick recap of what happened this week we shot over a ridiculous offer for eighteen mill they shot it down and then Bordeaux came across and some other and waffle allegedly was kind of [ __ ] on this and I'm fine I think might be [ __ ] but they came in with a bit the galaxy rumored to to to through one last one with what a bigger amount but it turns out that Boca came back and said hey to Mel for four I must say in a full year I heard it so November so we'll find out which it is and 25ml at the end the year but options by Fortuna v no man I I you know and you guys my witness I hate you guys up earlier today when I seen the board oh [ __ ] and I was saying you man [ __ ] this I'm now I'm done right I've been the one that's been like Chinese you know stick to it and kind of push it through because I was hyped about it but say in the morning I was just I was over it man and then hit rock bottom yeah man over and then as soon as over it like we get this she come out report said it's gonna happen tomorrow Sun beam or he's driving tonight apparently to close it tomorrow there's no look up [ __ ] I'm tired and I flew in the show Blake two weeks later you know hopefully on Monday when we have the live show we could talk about how we just sign them in Ethan ripped apart but until then so we're not talking yet no no all right you know what happen we do this Monday when we when with Terry confirm that we got him we'd say okay we got him instead we can move on because we talked about him so much about how we're gonna kill it with you no but no no no no no different this deals a little different than I would like to see yeah we can talk about that much but how good he is and how stupid Booker fans are as a matter of fact book I want everyone that was Undergear gone yeah because I lost never thought is that's it ain't just a piece of [ __ ] dog it's not about him you don't wanna talk about you know what I mean shoulder deer from South America no right I'm coming you're right thank you all right boys uh it is so getting we're here to talk about the upcoming game versus Orlando in and out and they're now quick yeah listen it's a it's a game versus Atlanta who have won eight out of the last nine home games it's a game Ursula never wanna have ever we will not have a polenta and will not have nothing so as we usually do we start off with with the lineups with that being said who has a who has a crack at the binding up with the air but he comes out go for it torture well I have Bingham I have people I have stairs I have shauvik and I have rope okay carry on yeah Jonah Corona and tuna Fabio on the right I have legette No on the Left I have a my laptop I have an tuna it is a full squad gonna be back with the exception of those three guys injured Amina out on there Larry Morgan it's it's Junie Allison dreamy polenta Empress Latin where up everybody okay so I'm gonna have to crack it then no problem I'm gonna say magmatic lines right back Tanabe um still felt sure there's gonna be some stairs and put in a people a left back shelve ik in the center midfield I'd say we're gonna have a um we're gonna have both of which is a mom kitchen and join out together an attacking as a cam we're gonna have a Fabio and then on the wings we're gonna have Corona and legette and then up top we're gonna have on on tonation really with the idea of we're still gonna sit back a bit hence we're gonna have kitchen there and probably play you know a little bit more that a counter-attack fast-paced I'll see Corona playing more of a hostile where they did where he helped out in the mirror and obviously you know good on as more technical and able to take players on more one-on-one then I'm still not saying that he is top-notch at that [ __ ] but compare him to hurrah who I still think he's more capable of doing some errands rewind that back for me so in the midfield we have kitchen and Jonah Curran and then who else was its Alvarez okay [ __ ] your nation is attack okay and then the wind out of the wing a jet and corona interesting that's really interesting mother you got a different take than that or you agree with George or Maureen I think kitchen goes bench Conan starts in the middle intonational table or on the right wing and yeah experiment done so he said I'll turn on top but I hold left wasn't right I wrong right and then left on left legit interesting interesting listen III in and before we get into into both Corona and legit to me could be interchangeable I just threw it there just to be at their point is one of the one of them's could take away neither wing so that's pretty much it i yeah III think lean alone close to intro cuz I think Corona in kitchen in the metro to be key for us to try to do anything though the one thing I would change I think it is it is gonna be it is gonna be mi and man and tuna with uh what suit back on top but I still think they'll take sumac as a natural forward on top not that not that I think that's our best bet but I think that's what's gonna happen AJ yeah thoughts on on Massa on what muscles must line up with our ah hoo yeah first thing that comes to mind with that listen it was a good experiment when if when we tried it why would L AFC there's a lot of stuff to happen around that a game unfortunate to me that I don't still don't consider a rivalry game people can be like oh you would ever like this and I have my personal beef everyone knows how it is but the players to them that was about worried game right so they state that whatever you saw on that L AFC game kick that out the window that stats don't exist there nothing sits there it's playing with [ __ ] balls and that's what it was that's what IRA who was to me in that game I mentioned that during that you know at in the post podcast when we talked about that look at aho yes he bought that but multiple times he showed that being a winger is not his room like a attacking right winger is not his role he could not take players one-on-one straight up the bother that he put up the slot then he just threw it up there right and in that specific play and that's the same thing that happened at least in my mind is to again in Portland you guys mentioned that he wasn't effective it granted what you guys said about the team in general yes now we would have it we would have had a let's say listen rainy or any of our other players play the right wing from the beginning instead of um about who and in Portland maybe it would have been a different story who knows right but that's what is saying to me it was an experiment it worked for one game that's not his position well from us yeah if we have the players healthy that are that can do things better than he can in that position then you put the players in that position now if you really want to put Idaho in there in that field then you know what just take out take out um take out felcher although in this type of game this reminds me one of those more physical games or you need a body like feel sure there as opposed to auto cuz I don't think we're gonna dominate this game I don't you sure we may play counter-attack but even then ever gonna counter-attacking style we're gonna do it with you know three four guys pushing up everyone else is still gonna hold especially with the speed that Atlanta United can play right you're my theory is behind it all and you know what I'll say this what's gonna be interesting if you see if you see a Tahoe I think I was becoming one of one of our GPS boys whenever one of his guys you know I mean and I be introduced here because I agree with you I think talent-wise are and just comfortable we can have different players there but I am feeling that he's becoming one of one of one of his boys one of his guys it kind of reminds me of Emma not wise but just on the in the faith that the coach puts in the in the player mm-hmm well why are you putting a member he's there he sees something he likes something about I mean I mean so teams in Europe Scout you know I heard the Mexican Mexican Federation already China Sea was so earlier this week yeah they're sleeping on this kid and I'm pretty sure once culture is gone season because I think this is fractured last season I think that's his spot and he's only gonna be here maybe one one two years maybe one and a half years right and that's 100% agree as the right back we could talk about that Monday we're talking about what's gonna happen he's not a winger but with the person now we have right now people not being 100% coming back from injuries I think he starts right one that's put him in the squad is band were playing on turf so I listen a it's it's come it's definitely I think anybody could have a chance anybody could be right with this argument and we'll see and we'll see all right uh yet so I think a combination of the the litems that we toss the brain doesn't definitely be it right we get based on who we got injured but I definitely want to I think I want to see a kitchen and Jonah appearing in the fields per game like this right especially with with the missing page that we have so I definitely see that question you want to see kitchen and Jonah when I just put five-year forward and then tuna play his wing and just let just let kitchen jonah and corona handle that middle probably well let me throw something out them what it and i know we want to say predictions to later but what do you what do you say how do you think the game's gonna play out because i really would like to see from the lineup and I know if you guys didn't agree with me there but it's because a result that happened last year so listen uh what we usually do is we kind of go into how we think galaxy attack and how galaxies or how turn can't attack us if you want to just get you all just have a general position of height in the games and go so we're not to you know wait either one let's do that so let's talk about that right like what do you guys expect or think for about this game what's gonna happen in this game personally I think it's gonna be a lot of what we saw in Portland without the attempts in anything so the score line is gonna read a dominance by Atlanta I don't think we're gonna come out with much for this game interesting anything so what do you think are the galaxy stances what do you think they're gonna come out and propose they're gonna come out and defend I think so and they're gonna be playing long ball Sean do now or trying to get him into space kind of what we used to do when we put when we played with that my last year up top in Cortland there was just more of a try to go with the ball I'm saying I think we'll just be compact but I think we're playing super counter-attacking soccer I don't know it's it's gonna be a tough game and hopefully the boys keep their composure because I think they're more than capable to keeping that run in a zero if everybody's on point but that's if everyone's on point but I don't know I don't know chances as we do again as we did against poor tonight all right I'll be the same boat I think that they're gonna dominate I think we're gonna sit back and I still think that we should put our players capable of doing something on the counter-offensive right so when we get the ball what are we do back which is why I still want to have the best possible players out there except that pick your moment someone you're really gonna do something play defense and and do that you know played as a team played compact like Massa said that's what this day is gonna happen they're gonna get chances right but it's how do we recover with the chances or how do we react to their chances that's that's what it's gonna be to me you know what so one thing I also agree that we don't plea we don't play it definitely a lot more defensive look in the counter-attack and and know the hard thing about it is that that's the kind of hard line a place to write they look to sit deep and then and then attack fast so it's gonna be interesting to see to see how that end I'm it works right we go and sit in and in Atlanta also is not necessarily pressing as high I want to see one thing angel said that thing is kids yes laughing is a big drop-off and I think polenta - I think polenta Flint's what I'm favorite defenders right now so there's a job up but I also see at least the midfield and gone for just enough quality that we shouldn't we shouldn't not create one or two good looks like a put us in the board I go get them it's just about us capitalizing on them early if we categorized on earlier I think it's a different game then our boys have to keep composure of the onslaught that Atlanta's gonna bring but I think the big key in that and we've always had even with or without slot on the field we've had early chances but you just don't go in yeah no this is and this is the game about really this is a game where those chances that we missed against Portland this if we do get one or two chances whatever chance we get we ought to be lethal yes and that's coming from people who don't score besides I I hope that they can step up and you know at least put one into away you know what's interesting too is that I've been I've been I've been saying this for two years straight that I think we play uglier because of slotland right because we look for slaughter and ghost reveries Latin and there's only one game plan with slapping this game right and potentially we'll see Jonah Corona legette favio and tuna and yeah those guys on the field together right I would like to see something no different nice lot about this game right if yy-you're if the prediction you guys put out with not having a su back or like a real forward there I want to see some creativity because I think it's a great chance listen I don't think anybody expects us to win I don't think anybody expected to get a draw you know what I mean so it's a good chance to go out there and just be creative and show different looks without slapping on the field I think it's a lot of a thing there's a lot of pressure off the off the boys I think it's a lot of pressure off the boys and for that reason myself I think I'm alone optimistic also because I expect them to lose their party disappointment win you know take a W yeah exactly you know me because I expect them to win these are making the trip probably tell and hopefully they do but but can I say something obviously we're all in the same boat and we think it's gonna be the same type of game plan the formations are gonna be the same you know what I would like to see how this game is gonna be ugly they're probably the ugliest game the working to see this entire season it's not gonna be Portland when we took a forward no ass whuppin but we had chances or you know before the at 2-0 different game even with the counter text right that when there was four zero based on what you guys I just asked you do you guys remember Vancouver away last year yep yep that and we came out like that Christmas whatever it was I was like it looked like a Christmas tree and it was ugly I think maybe yeah we created one that had one-on-one with the goalie and Emma doing Emma things missed right and I think that was our only chance we were all I think we were all that beer garden together and we were had we sang we said we know well I don't know but Rudy not for sure we're there and obviously I'm exaggerated but we were happy that we expect the anaz whooping you know everything ya know it might be like two years ago you remember now I think it was two years ago cuz yeah I remember Hamas header arses first start yeah sure for sure yeah and for sure yeah we were expecting Ella's entire season so it might have been two years ago but that if we came out like that I would not I wouldn't be mad I wasn't mad and if we paper balls we defended well compared to the team and we left out of there with a 0-0 that's listen it's a galaxy we should be winning every [ __ ] game but I I agree man let me see two players yeah that I take it I'll take I remember that game vividly because I went to see max of creme right after that oh that's right yeah [ __ ] it's meant to be this is what happened last time we got the car together and we bumped Mac so when I picked you up and what I say and what I'm saying right now when after you're done here into this pod just put on Max's new album for good vibes and we're about a [ __ ] in that Lana random thanks before you get his predictions everything we said about the galaxy I agree but how do you how do you contain [ __ ] what's his name I'll and a guy come on help me out guys there be no no not be the arm Joseph yeah it's gonna be huge to make to make sure he's not off the ball runs and I think we mention it again with Ruffin Fernandes last week and also when he has the ball I think make smart fouls pick up some yellows but I think you just need to stop him wherever he has the ball to see Sam when it comes to speed you need a soft easterly sort of what we did with Minnesota early on in the season when we stopped the runs even before anything started happening yeah I think you put a specific body in him and based on the four players that we have in our back line no disrespect to stairs I still think he's been the the one that's been holding the entire backline together all season regardless of his game last week you need to put unfortunate we don't have a polenta so you need to put people to place so no marking I'm not saying do man marking in terms of stands as but it's like a hybrid of a man zonal mark right where you keeping an eyewear where Yosef is at all times right so you're you're shifting towards him even if you don't your body's not exactly towards him but you're shifting where he may be five yards away from him you know but still watching his pace in case of the through ball or if he's getting the boss beat you have you could be there in a couple seconds but you mean it needs to be communication between stairs and and people were like okay look I'm if I'm people look he's making and he's going this way ok I'm going this way but now we're switching sides or you know basically ability to be alert okay that's what you got it was it that with that type of player and it's it's what teams try to do this lot done the difference is that a lot of times a big as a monster although he's very good and fast but even then people is not a slow player he's a very intelligent player he can slide at the right times he can be physical too so he has all the attributes attributes to handle someone I go said Martinez my opinion of course and that's like what I think you do with him George you mentioned about Petey Martinez Martinez we don't have to play these days with him the boy already does it so we're good we're good there yeah yeah yeah I think we dismiss utilize because that kid story yeah listen I hope it doesn't show up but you know I mean I hope you the same yeah I'm scared of that because listen I my concern is is Joseph really though because I think his movement is good too like his runs are you know they could find him like we could see listen I I think that that first goal versus support in last week I think he could pull it off over and over and over again where like he can make defenders like lose him he may he you know he gets rid of his [ __ ] his mark so I I'm hesitant amande you know I mean it's him right you put them from the goal chances are he's in scores so I want to see them lock down I think two angels point are not to your point actually to your point George I want to see it that the midfield kill a lot of those chances before you make you know before you get to completing the pass in that run again right I think kitchen and Jonah together in the midfield kit could help a lot with that so we'll see anything else you guys want to talk about about the game before we get into predictions so cam buddy was not butter they can't believe it's not butter butter butter uh-huh let's go predictions who wants go first news major I say this is a 1-1 Oh wouldn't I who's going on tonight Bobby I always gets one okay I'll say to two with a girl from Joyner and ago from from the jet listen go from donor cornea to to I hope I hope you're right [ __ ] but if we get to double digits now that was it sorry every a multiple scores damage is about digits [ __ ] multiple goals I think that's an L for us we need to keep it to one goal we keep it to one goal we'll get we'll get we'll get at least one chance at least a chance yeah my wheel scored so quick and then they and score two and this will be two - all right I honestly I say to two very light-hearted right uh but if we could get a result to be [ __ ] dope if not I want to see a lot of creativity wouldn't like like again no pressure on these boys cuz everybody's expecting we're gonna take that fat out so go out there [ __ ] and do something you know I mean all right let's see we'll recap it on Monday for sure live 9 p.m. on YouTube yeah angel you got a CB plug for us today and she B plus B plugs we have
