It has been quite the journey following Endrick since he was 15yrs old in the Copinha. Now, at 19, he's preparing for the World Cup with a goal tonight vs. Egypt; it’s clear he’s one of the few players capable of reaching Romário's level.
I remember this being said during a broadcast a few games ago. Looking into it, I see Reinaldo is... 🤔
Where are we seeing that Markanich is #1?

Last week: Playing for MNUFC2 at a quiet NSC in Blaine.
This Week: Playing the Brazilian NT in front of 80,000 at the historic Maracanã.
Wild ride for Harvey this month. 😄
Secondary Transfer Window Opens: Monday, July 13.
The #mnufc FO kept rumors to a minimum over the past few windows; I wonder when we will get our first one this summer...
Nearly every time Knowles is in front of a mic, there's at least one mention of being on the ball more.
Here are some possession stats after 8 games:
10 Pass Sequences: 22nd (9 /G)
Passes Per Sequence: 23rd (3.32 /G)
Sequence Time: 25th (8.76 secs)
Average Possession: 29th (41.6%)

I really believe Knowles wants to play with a back-4, so the positions I've targeted for new transfers aim to fill some of the gaps I think we have...
My perspective could shift, particularly if players are sold, but here's currently what I'm thinking:
#MNUFC
⚽️ Goals per 90: 1.20 (26th in MLS)
🎯 Goals vs xG: -5.09 (Last in MLS)
What needs to change in our attack?
A few new signings (position/profile?), style/identity change, a change in formation... something else?
#MNUFC
A cascade of problems, what I saw:
🟥 Pereyra seemed a little slow to shift over to apply ball pressure & cover-shadow to the player Duncan feels the need to step up on.
🟥 Duncan unnecessarily jumps, it's probably Gene's guy to take care of(?)
🟥 Gene points to the open man due to Duncan stepping up, but both Diaz & Boxall are occupied with the two strikers.
🟥 Diaz leaves way too much space on his marker, allowing an easy collect, turn & pass with no pressure.
🟥 Markanich's desperate lunge takes him out of the play.

Boxall also touching on Cam's concerns:
"Organized when we're pressing..."
"That one time we get beat, it doesn't create a domino effect..."
