I think winning THIS game in particular was not Tata's first priority given the long run and already being qualified; preventing injuries is. This is why Busquets did not start, and essential starters left the pitch early like Bright and Gressel. Martinez as well. I think this game was Tata's game to use different tactics and different players in different positions. And allow bench players play time as well. So let us see the bright side of this game and move on and hope to win it all.
Yep! Miami was definitely more counter based rather than looking to keep possession. I'm still of the mindset that the team is looking at MLS Cup and the Shield as priority.
The loss was a little disappointing because the Herons have spoiled us with so much winning lately. But I agree the focus should be on winning MLS Cup!
Considering we were missing Messi and Suarez, not bad at all. We didn’t need this game to advance and better not to risk injury imo.
I agree! My biggest concern is losing another player to LTI. Don't want that!
