Episode Notes

WNGS Radio, Episode 30, 5.20.21

INTRO/NGS

• WE ARE TIRED ALREADY and it’s just kicking off. Yo so many matches, except maybe not THIS weekend lol - we’ll get to that
• Dion makes impassioned plea for folks to join the fuck in, maybe?

CITY

• Start with women - 2-1 v Muskegon
  • City dominant throughout. Played 4-3-3. Very early for a part time team, system very simple.
  • First goal, Huge great play, Honeycutt hustle play
  • Risers wondergoal ties it
  • Taylor volley wins it after a long possession with multiple corners
  • Let’s talk players - City has a lot of talent
    • Caught my eye: Sarah Huge. Kenna White. Tatiana Mason. Elise Baeron/Margaret Berry CB combo. Marlee Taylor. Madison Duncan. Kayla Halmaghi thundered crossbar late.
  • This weekend - away at Lansing
    • Lansing an established side, seems to be getting sorted down toward bottom half of UWS Midwest North Conference after losing 4-2 to Midwest Utd and 2-1 to Corktown
    • Question is, where do City fall in this pecking order?  A discussion
• The men - let’s talk the whole fucking season since it’s been two months now
  • Quick recap of us stomping the league
  • Style of play has emerged - little less possession oriented but still Trev-ball. Prefer 3-5-2 if we have the defenders, can switch to a 4 if not. Lack of a pacy forward means we have to pick our way
  • Defense, of course let’s talk about that defense
    • Stevie & Matt
    • The unflappable Anthony Manning
    • Kevin the ball machine Venegas connecting defense and attack off right wing
    • Jimmy more pure winger on left
  • Everyone else
    • Maxi in the breach
    • Growth of game under Trev - both Cyrus and Connor good examples
    • Roddy getting minutes
    • Up top - let’s talk forwards for a minute
  • This weekend - the Stars doubleheader EXCEPT MAYBE NOT because we are teasing it one final time
    • But first we detour into a brief discussion of the U23 roster so far, and then get back into their first match, which leads us to episode 31
