WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:05.719 Hello, welcome to this episode of Hammering Now. I'm my 2 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.720 host Caro Hodges. I'm hoping you're having a great, great day. 3 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.199 A couple of things where we get into this episode. 4 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.000 This is just gonna be talking about Indie eleven. We're 5 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.120 not really going to get into the upcoming Louse City match. However, 6 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.280 there are a good contingency of fans going to lou 7 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.399 City away So if you are looking to go to 8 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.519 an away day, there's a lot of Legion fans playing 9 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.199 to make this trip. So going up there Lynn family 10 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.439 is awesome. It's a great time. I'm not gonna be 11 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.359 able to go, but I wish I could. I hope 12 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.119 you all enjoy your trip up there. Apparently there's this 13 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.560 really good food spot on the way, so I on 14 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.960 the tag team in with the Magic Sua Brigade and 15 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.880 check that out. A couple of things in terms of 16 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.240 the two team and the women's team. Women's team just 17 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.640 got a nice to one win over one Knox, getting 18 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.280 a little revenge over their one nil defeat last time. 19 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.239 They are playing tomorrow on the tenth against Asheville City, 20 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.680 So go watch the women's team there. There might be 21 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.200 a venue change if it is moved to oh gosh, 22 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.959 was If it's moved to the other venue, allegedly it 23 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.959 will be free to enter. If it's at the Valley, 24 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.840 I think you at the page just a small fee. 25 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.920 But if it's at the different venue allegedly is going 26 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.480 to be free. If you want to go watch the 27 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.719 two team, you should. They are undefeated in one of 28 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:35.519 the most highly contested divisions in all of USL League two, 29 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.319 the Central the Central South South Central Division only gets 30 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.200 one playoff spot, and right now Legion are on top 31 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.519 of the table with thirteen points, completely undefeated or undefeated 32 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.879 with only one draw. Then there's Dot That United who 33 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.599 have twelve points through also through five matches, and then 34 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.719 there's Actual City, who the twos the Hammers are taking 35 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:04.640 on on Wednesday. They are completely undefeated, completely undefeated, four 36 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.599 wins four matches with twenty one goals scored. Not bad, 37 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.120 zero conceded. That's right, they have scored twenty one goals 38 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:21.639 and conceded zero. They're a good team, So go check 39 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.759 out that match. Whoever wins that match is in the 40 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.680 driver's seat to make the playoffs. There's only one team 41 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.599 that gets out. There's a wild card possibility. But unlikely 42 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.159 because everybody's just beating up on each other. Because the 43 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.360 South Central is that good. So check it out, enjoy it. Like, 44 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.319 go watch the two best teams in the South Central. 45 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.360 Go at it. Ashville City is where we got Seba 46 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.840 trek Arthen, so you could be watching the former or 47 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.319 a future Legion player for Ashville City and Legion too. 48 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.520 The Hammers are absolutely future Legion players. That's like the 49 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.400 whole point. So go watch the future, have a good time. 50 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.560 Let's go see it. Now, before we get into the 51 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.400 Mark Briggs postgame presser, which if you haven't heard it, 52 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.319 oh my gosh, you need to because we're about to 53 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.479 listen to it, I want to talk about what happened 54 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.479 in the second half with the match getting stopped and 55 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:19.520 briefly delayed due to derogatory chance. In the point they 56 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:25.000 don't say section, there was a derogatory chant on goalkicks, 57 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:31.960 the P word in the Spanish P word was being used, 58 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.719 and in a lot of circles that is viewed as 59 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:42.919 a derogatory, homophobic chant. Okay, and it did stop the game. Now, 60 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520 let me make a couple of things clear. The Magic 61 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.080 Sea Brigade had zero percent to do with that zero 62 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.560 opposite side satium the other poper point, they don't say 63 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.319 from the people that I talked to. According to them, 64 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.919 the people who were doing that chance were not regular. 65 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.360 There are kind of new people that joined into the 66 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.879 fray and started doing it. So don't just broadly say 67 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.639 that they are bigots or hateful people. Don't just broad 68 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.879 strokes say that they are bad. Okay, so apparently it 69 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.240 was brand new people. It just just kind of want 70 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.079 to say that as well. Whether you believe that that 71 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.000 word is just a just a word, or if you 72 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.199 believe that it's hateful, you know, that's not me for 73 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.720 me to tell you. Talking to a lot of my 74 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.439 friends who are native of Mexico and Puerto Rico and 75 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.680 Dominican Republic, like I asked them individually and I was like, 76 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.040 this word, like, does it mean what the connotation of 77 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.079 what we hear it means? And they're like kind of yes, 78 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.680 kind of no, it's it's not exactly used that way. 79 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.639 How that word is commonly used to refer to someone 80 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.959 who is homosexual. But they're like, but it's not really 81 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.600 that meaning. But if you talk to someone who's in 82 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.560 the LGBTQ plus community, they will tell you is a 83 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.800 super hateful word, super harsh word. I'm not here to 84 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.319 tell you what the word means, what it doesn't mean. 85 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.120 I'm not from Mexico. I know if you hear my 86 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.120 voice or you see me kind of pacy white, or 87 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.399 if actually are watching me, I'm probably about as red 88 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:38.920 as the hoodie I'm wearing. Sunburns are fun. But I'm 89 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.920 not here to tell you what that word means, because 90 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.959 I don't know the complexities of the ins and outs 91 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.000 of either community. I'm a straight white guy. I'm not 92 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.639 here to tell you what it means. However, FIFA has 93 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.240 said that derogatory chance will cause matches to be delayed. 94 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.000 And guess what the match was delayed after legion We're 95 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.680 knocking on the door. They were absolutely the better team 96 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.319 they were at that point when the match was stopped. 97 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.439 That was the best they had played all night. All night, 98 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.639 they were absolutely on the front foot, and the match 99 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.120 gets stopped. Whether you believe it is just a word, 100 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.959 or if you think it's just a fun thing to do, 101 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.399 or if you believe it's the most hateful thing that 102 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.360 could be said. If you are in one of those 103 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.360 three camps, it doesn't really matter because the game got stopped. 104 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.879 The game got stopped. So if you're saying just get 105 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.920 over yourself, don't be such a pansy get over it. 106 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.920 You cause the match to get stopped. So your selfishness 107 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.560 of using that word and saying get over yourself hurt 108 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.160 the team. Are you there to support the team or 109 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.360 for you to yell something when a goalkeeper kicks something? 110 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.519 If you're there to yell a specific word when a 111 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.879 person kicks the ball, and that's the only reason you go, 112 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.720 are you a Legion fan? That's what I'm gonna say. Okay, 113 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.199 whether you believe that the word has meaning or not, 114 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:21.120 it hurt the team. It's plain and simple, clear cut. 115 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.360 That's all there is for me. I'm not here to 116 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.199 tell you the complexities of the background of that word. 117 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:32.399 Talk to someone who is in either community LGBTQ plus 118 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.639 or the Hispanic community. Talk to them individually. They'll give 119 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.040 you a picture of their side. I'm not a part 120 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.000 of either community, so I'm not the person for you, 121 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.160 but i will tell you We've seen that word cause 122 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.040 national teams to lose fans from watching their club, and 123 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.639 it caused Legion to lose all of their momentum in 124 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.879 a match they ended up losing. Hurt the team, hurt, 125 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.519 the fans, hurt everybody. Don't do it cool? All right, 126 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.199 So let's go ahead and jump into this Mark Briggs 127 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.439 postgame presser because this was a fun one. I'm going 128 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.600 to try to tell you the context of these questions 129 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.360 because you can't really hear them still, so I want 130 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:21.879 to try to give you just a little bit of context, 131 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.120 a little bit of background. 132 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.120 Yeah, I thought, I thought the first half, first fifteen minutes, 133 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.639 we let ourselves down. And when you play against a 134 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.320 mature team, when you play against a good team. 135 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.080 You can't do that. 136 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.840 And we started the game off shopping, We don't run 137 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.159 the player we're supposed to run. 138 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.799 And then for the first fifteen. 139 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:51.080 Minutes we were second best second gear people jogging, no intensity. 140 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.639 They score, and then they're a good defensive side. 141 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.960 They're sitting in a block and make it difficult. 142 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.879 You know, you talk about the first fifteen minutes. I 143 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.120 think just about every single week since you've been here. 144 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.320 What is it about the first fifteen minutes the first 145 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.480 half that doesn't seem to go into the first fifteen 146 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:09.960 minutes of the. 147 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:17.480 Second Yeah, I thought, second half. I thought they showed 148 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.480 a better energy that we had. Just did a few 149 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.279 things tactically and it helped us and we created chances. 150 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.120 But then if you don't hit the target, you don't 151 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.440 score goals. But the first half, yeah, the first fifteen 152 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.600 minutes is where we lost the game. We didn't start 153 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.279 well and we find ourselves losing a game one nil 154 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.320 that we shouldn't be losing. 155 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.799 Okay, So I think you could actually hear me ask 156 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.799 the question on that one, so you may not need 157 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.360 me to give like what I said. Basically, I just asked, like, 158 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.639 why is this the continuous problem? Why is the first 159 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:53.039 fifteen minutes just the thing? And honestly, I want to 160 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.519 just kind of point out here that it is a 161 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:01.399 continuous problem. And he is mentioned that it's slopping the 162 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.399 first fifteen minutes. It's constantly an issue. We're there's a 163 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.200 more interesting soundbites in there that I want you to 164 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.000 hear as we go through, but just kind of keep 165 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.080 that in the back of your mind. Of it was sloppy. 166 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.960 They didn't run the places they were supposed to run. 167 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.159 They were jogging. They weren't showing that intensity, they weren't 168 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:25.000 showing energy and the first fifteen minutes lost the match. 169 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.840 I want you to keep that little bit in your 170 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.440 brain as you are listening to the rest of this. 171 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.519 Obviously at Left Baggers Darts team and who you know 172 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.000 leasing to join the club, you don't have a single 173 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.120 left footed fullback at the club right now due to 174 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.039 international and due to injury. How did what did you 175 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.879 try to overcome that? Obviously it's very talent. It's hard 176 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.120 to putting crosses when you're. 177 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.679 Not left footed. 178 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.639 Yeah, so if you couldn't really understand, basically every single 179 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.559 left footer at the club is currently gone injured or 180 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:07.879 international duty. Romy's beinwell, Dawson, Moses Off and aj Patterson. 181 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.080 All five, all five possible left foot players who can 182 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:17.399 play left back are gone. And I asked about Sintino Centina. 183 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.000 No Centino, there we go. I asked, like, he's a 184 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.000 right footer, he wasn't able to put in crosses. How'd 185 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.799 you ever come that? Here's what he had to say. 186 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.960 You just have to like, look, we're we're missing Dawson, 187 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.480 we're missing Ras, We're missing Fanny, we're missing aj. 188 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.240 Am, I missing anywhere, Moses. 189 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.679 You know, like we had to we had to piece 190 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.639 together a back line for tonight, and quite honestly, I 191 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.799 don't think the back line was the problem other than 192 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.080 a couple of couple of sloppy plays towards the end 193 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.840 of the game. Other than that, I don't think the 194 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.879 back line was the problem. To be honest, I thought 195 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.320 we they defended what they had to defend quite well. 196 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.279 You know, the attacking players. We have to be better 197 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.200 in that part of the field. 198 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.759 So I mean, yeah, I mean, listen, if you're looking 199 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:18.120 at what they were able to do, Indy, they only 200 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.639 create about a half goal worth of chances, and obviously 201 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.120 they end up scoring a goal, but they only created 202 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:25.960 about half of that. They only created about a half 203 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.279 goal chance. And according to x G it is the 204 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:36.279 defense did their job. They did their job. So I 205 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.480 think the next well, I don't even remember what the 206 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.720 next question is, but still, I mean, I thought they 207 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.879 played great. Jake looked wonderful at you know, so did 208 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:53.279 Oh my gosh, Thiago. Thiago looked great. Steven Turnbull played 209 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.240 really really well, and we'll get to him at the 210 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.919 very end. It's going to be fascinating to hear. And 211 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.240 then Cintino, I mean, the issue with Centinno was that 212 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.039 everybody on the planet knew that he was not going 213 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.919 to put in a cross. He would stop the ball 214 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:14.799 about if you're looking at the eighteen yard box, about 215 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.600 the middle of the eighteen yard box on the touch line, 216 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.360 and stop, hold it up, try to dribble to his 217 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.639 right foot. Nobody respected across from him. Everybody knew he 218 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.080 was going to hold up the ball. I don't know 219 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.320 if he can put in crosses with his left foot. 220 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.639 I think he might have even put one in in 221 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.840 the second half when he was playing right back, which 222 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:40.840 was bizarre, But either way, that's not really important. The 223 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.679 important part here is is that there was no threat 224 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:49.519 of across from Centino in the first half because everybody 225 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:51.720 knew he was trying to get it to his right foot. 226 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.960 That he couldn't be anybody on a dribble from the 227 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.559 left side because everybody knew he was just trying to 228 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.320 get to his right foot. This isn't like the prosperous 229 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.919 situation of only left foot in this because he could 230 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.840 still cut inside and take in a shot because he 231 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.000 had Dan Trejo in front of him and Trey Hoo's 232 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.759 trying to cut in and get a shot. On his 233 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.720 right foot. You were looking at more of a situation 234 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.840 like that where unless Trey Hoo is trying to go 235 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.559 to the touch line and cross the ball to Centino. 236 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.080 It ended up being a massive problem having two right 237 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.840 footers on the left side of the ball. Nobody was 238 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.080 able to put in crosses. And I asked a question 239 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:36.399 about that. 240 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:45.480 Later I realize, yeah, you know, like who who really 241 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.320 wanted to score? 242 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.559 You think about Ronaldo. Ronaldo wanted to score. 243 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.000 He hit when it comes off the post, he hits 244 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.000 another one, he just goes the wrong side of the post. 245 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.080 Ronaldo wanted to score. But who really wanted to put 246 00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.879 the ball in the back of the net. You know, 247 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.919 we had chances on the edge of the box a 248 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:04.080 number of players. 249 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.480 We don't hit the target. 250 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.279 You know, when you create those moments, when you create 251 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.120 those opportunities, you've got to have that roofless edge and 252 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.960 you've got to have that desire to put the ball 253 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.879 in the back of the net. 254 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:17.399 And we didn't have that tonight. 255 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.240 Yeah, that question was basically just like creating chances, kind 256 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:27.200 of staying in the final third, but not really create 257 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.720 Like they had shots, but not a whole lot of them. 258 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.519 Field tilt, which we talked about before. Basically, possession is 259 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.480 kind of meaningless. It kind of depends on where you 260 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.320 have your possession. Legion had very solid field tilt and 261 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.159 it didn't really account to much. And just that question 262 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.679 of who wanted to score. Rinaldo wanted to score, but 263 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:52.960 who else wanted to score? That is a brutal question 264 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:58.919 to hear. I'm very matter of fact, very fascinating. 265 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:05.000 Lasso and so maybe even pasture, you know, go get 266 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.360 into that like zone fourteen, take their shot from there 267 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.200 and they all go, well, ub a little bit wide, 268 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.480 but you know, you take. 269 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.360 Off the lasso despite he did have bad and want 270 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.159 to try to store. How what kind of winds that 271 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:18.840 decision making? 272 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.159 Okay, so if you couldn't hear, uh, basically he took 273 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.360 off Lasso, who had two shots who he kind of 274 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.279 did the Anderson as said special of I'm lining one 275 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.960 out from thirty and it's going to go about forty 276 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.399 above the bar. He had two of those chances, and 277 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.480 I asked why I take off Lasto when he was 278 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.200 one of the few players in the first half that 279 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.759 looked like they were willing to line one up and 280 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:45.919 have a little bit of that bravery and take a shot. 281 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.440 Listen to the answer. 282 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.159 As a as a coach, you got to make decisions. 283 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.240 And when when players don't perform at the level that 284 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:04.559 they need to performat, there's going to be consequences. We're 285 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.559 not here to we're not here to say pack people 286 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.759 on the back and it's a camp and it doesn't matter. 287 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.920 Like this is a job. You get paid to do 288 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.160 your job. You get paid if you're a midfield. 289 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.039 Player, to connect passes, to get on the ball, to 290 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.720 break up passes, to take shot and hit the target. 291 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.160 You're an attacking. 292 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.160 Player, you get paid to score goals, create opportunities, put 293 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.640 the fans on the edge of the seats. 294 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.799 You know, did you just fit? Did you see that? 295 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.640 Did you feel that? There you go. 296 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:33.920 I just asked them to look in the mirror themselves 297 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.200 and come back and tell me because some of us, 298 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.880 some of us go home, don't watch the games and 299 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.359 don't honestly look at themselves because of that. Look in 300 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.799 the mirror and tell me that you're duing your job 301 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.839 to the level that it needs to be done at. 302 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.400 And if you can say that, good, But if you. 303 00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:02.200 Can't, so. 304 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.920 Let's break this one down Timothy Bellen posted this this 305 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.720 specific clip or this specific quote just a little bit, 306 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.720 and he mentioned like the standards and there are consequences 307 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.160 for not doing your job. By the way, again, if 308 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.039 you're not falling to following Timothy Bellen on either Blue 309 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.039 Skys whatever, you need to be doing that. Oh there's 310 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.000 a lot here. With Lasso, I mentioned the fact that 311 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.160 he was one of to be people to you know, 312 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.319 take chances. What was the first thing that he said, 313 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.880 If you're not connecting passes or breaking up passes, you're 314 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.440 not doing your job. Lasso had a beast of a 315 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:48.960 night in terms of connecting passes. He was over hitting things. 316 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.880 He was not quite on it with his teammates, Grant, 317 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.079 there's a little bit of learning curve playing with Steven Turnbull, 318 00:18:55.759 --> 00:19:00.160 who he did not connect with a lot. But they 319 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.319 were also for a professional standard, I couldn't go out 320 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.079 there and hit the shots. So if last TIF you 321 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.920 hear this and you say, well can you do that? 322 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.200 Talking boy, no, I can't. I can't do anything you do. 323 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.960 You would eat me alive. But for a professional standard, 324 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.960 he was not hit he was not making the easy passes, 325 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.839 and it was killing chances in the first half in 326 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.880 terms of breaking up passes. I mean he was sitting deep. 327 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.839 He was playing as kind of the standalone quarterback type 328 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.880 role where he's supposed to just kind of distribute out, 329 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.359 distribute out, distribute out, break up anything going behind you. 330 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.119 He wasn't doing that. That was hard. I mean, I 331 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:42.920 don't want to say harsh, but it was straight to 332 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.039 the point. It was very pointed. I think the fascinating 333 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.680 part here was not what Timothy posted, which was the consequences. 334 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.559 The fascinating part was there are people here who do 335 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.279 not go home and watch the film. They don't he said, 336 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:08.880 they don't look in the mirror. And I find that fascinating, 337 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.079 just the fact that he sits there and says there 338 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.599 are people what he's and I want to read between 339 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.160 some lines here, there are people here who don't think 340 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.880 that they're the problem, and they're not putting in the 341 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:28.680 work because they don't think they're the problem. They're not 342 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.839 looking back and seeing their mistakes. They're not seeing the 343 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.759 places they can improve. And I'm not going to sit 344 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:36.480 here and try tell you, well, I think it's this guy, 345 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:42.240 this guy, this guy, this guy. But what an incredible 346 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.240 statement by Briggs. What a way to use the media 347 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.640 to talk to your players. Go home and watch the film. 348 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.960 I can tell who isn't If I were to ask you, 349 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.359 what did you see here? You didn't watch it to 350 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.400 begin with. I mean talk about a guy who's to 351 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.200 go after players and hold them accountable. There's accountability in practice, 352 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.680 but public accountability it matters. It does. And he's mentioned 353 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.759 in previous interviews that there's a careful line to toe 354 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.079 when you are a coach like him that is willing 355 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.079 to call someone out, but you know, lit someone up. 356 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.039 But he said, this isn't a camp. There is no 357 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:30.200 pat on the back. I that is a I think 358 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.119 that last half was so fascinating as a coach. 359 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.519 I mentioned earlier about not having a left footed player 360 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:43.400 on the left side. Was there any consideration to putting 361 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.559 passer over on that left hand side, such a humans 362 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.359 right over to get some more crosses into. 363 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.720 The Yeah, at one point there was Actually. 364 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.720 We were going to do that, and then the ball 365 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:54.880 kept coming out to the right hand side, so we 366 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.240 switched Senteno and Steven, so Steven went to the left, 367 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:00.000 senten O came. 368 00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.200 To the right and got a couple of guy a 369 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.079 little bit of joy. 370 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.680 Actually in that last area, and then we couldn't get 371 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.880 you know, that final that final push, that final little bit. 372 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.000 Of look in the box. 373 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:14.640 But yeah, that's that's something that we looked at and 374 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.079 we we didn't we didn't quite pull the trigger, but 375 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.160 we we looked at it. 376 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:24.640 It was spoken, so I mentioned maybe moving passer over 377 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.599 to the left hand side to get crosses in, to 378 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.599 at least make that a little bit dangerous because there 379 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.640 were no threats as I mentioned earlier, with Fanwell being 380 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.519 out and he got two starts, by the way, for 381 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.480 the Rwanda national team. Uh didn't have a single start 382 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.480 or a single appearance for a national team. At the 383 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.599 right page of thirty two, he gets his. He gets 384 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.359 not just two cats, but two starts for the national team. 385 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:54.880 Super cool to seeper Fanwell. Congratulations Fanwell. But you know 386 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.160 we mentioned not having the left footer footers. Romy's is 387 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.920 probably gonna be out for just a more more. Not 388 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.799 sure about a concrete timeline for AJ. He's not gonna 389 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:05.720 be able to play a full ninety any time soon. 390 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.720 We Moses is apparently a few weeks away. Not really 391 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:16.480 too positive about Dawson, So you're looking at a very 392 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:20.720 bare bones left handed side lineup. I wouldn't be shocked 393 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.680 to see if we get a little bit more of 394 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.559 the classic Tommy. Soon we're switching wingers all the time. 395 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.480 Thing this upcoming match again Slu City, where we see 396 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:31.640 Pasture go over to that left hand side trail, go 397 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.119 to that right hand side and make those switches so 398 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.359 they can switch. The idea of these inverted wingers who 399 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.440 are cutting inside, and then some that stay true and 400 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.119 have wing backs that cut inside. Because Turnbul and Sentento 401 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.359
