The "Dos Adams" and other pundits are going to go on about how we need to trust some master plan and "trust me bro Ned is going to sign a billion players" etc but managers are judged on actual results and actual play on the field and it is an indisputable fact that Marti Cifuentes has made this team significantly worse. Full stop. He took a team brimming with confidence after shaking off the Neville garbage and he drove the whole thing straight into the ditch. Sure he's had to deal with injuries, losing Kelsy etc so I want to be reasonable that I wasn't expecting him to come in and make them league winners in the middle of the season but I wasn't expecting THIS. Unwatchable. Maybe Marti comes good in the end, maybe he doesn't but what an absolute garbage way to start your tenure. He's for sure lost me, I have no confidence that he's capable of managing in this league. He's one of those managers as well where the system can never fail, only players fail the system so expect a lot of players being regularly blamed for his system failing. Also lots of quotes about how we won in the stats department and the result didn't reflect the game etc etc.

A good coach can get results with any set of players. And I'm tired of these handshake deals for coaches. We are required for whatever reason to be the trash bin for failed free mason losers. What did you do Merritt? Why are you forced to take these trash coaches that lose in Europe? It's so painfully obvious you didn't want Marti or Phil in the press conferences the way you talk fast like you are trying to sell. Merritt probably won too many games over the past 10 years, and the league is forcing us to be the bums. Why can't you get the same deal as Tom Dundon? He is going to win the NBA title this year.

THIS IS ALL COACHING! Idc if you have all the players you need Marti, that is AWFUL tactical defending just having two player just stand there while your smaller guys are guarding two prolific strikers. They could have easily double marked them too. Ned has recruited too many small guys or were not good enough at man marking. Y

Not at his best, but a determined performance

Specifically with Seating, do you kinda just pick where you sit? Can you sit anywhere in the stadium? (Upper deck, Toyota Terrace, Pub Beer Patio, Field Seats, are any of these options?)
