Though I'm sure there are likeable players on this team, the team itself is unlikeable. They don't seem to respect each other, there's no urgency, every other pass is back to Stu (who was hung out to dry on the first goal), and honestly, who on the team is playing with heart and enjoying themselves? Maybe Gallagher and Stuver, maybe Desler and Hines-Ike. But the issue is squarely on the shoulders of Nico and Rodo. "Names you wouldn't believe" is an insult to us fans. Maybe these players can get a coach who can turn it around, but this is a disaster. And the worst part that should worry Precourt... very few people in Austin care. Attendance is down substantially (in spite of the cynical 20,738 announced each game) and the number of people commenting on social media is way down. Actually, Precourt doesn't care, he's probably already been talking to Las Vegas people about moving there. My guess is there's a 50% chance Austin FC is here in 5 years.
It sure seems to me that it is growing coaching problem. The shift in how Vazquez was used from one San Diego match to the next really accents that belief!! It really would be of great help to the team if Nico would actually read the great points that the writer is bringing up after each match!!
