Buzzard Nest Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Twenty-one shots. Nobody had taken more than fourteen against Vancouver all season, and we did it at BC Place without Baribo and without Munteanu. We went ahead, came from behind twice, and still took just one point. Sensei Nono and Hosei Kijima showed up to a fight, 1976-style, against a top MLS side in the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Send us Fan Mail (Fahhh) Why did we have to lose that game against Charlotte? It doesn't feel right. Well, it doesn't, because in many areas that was our best performance of the season and we still lost. This is a therapy session for DCU supporters, and a bit of praise for finally having a system that isn't the 4-4-2 and that works.

Send us Fan Mail We're back facing Charlotte FC, but this time at Audi Field, and Charlotte is not the same team away as they are at home. Since two set pieces killed the game for us last time, I review how well they've been doing in that area since we last faced them. Finally, I look at which formation and midfielders should start, based purely on the numbers.

Send us Fan Mail The podcast will return on Sep 19th.

Send us Fan Mail DC United drew 0–0 with LAFC, and Saturday's 4-3-3 did more for our midfield in one match than the 4-4-2 has in twenty — Servania posted his first positive receiving figure of the season, Peltola his best in twenty games. We check all three pre-match predictions, unpack why Son Heung-Min was somehow the best mover and the worst finisher on the pitch.
