So right now we have holes at:
LB; I just think we’re doing a square peg in a round hole even if the peg is a good one
RB without Farsi
CB the stopper
CM the shield
CAM the attacking star
Just my opinion.

The attack:
The creative engine; we do not have this player. This is probably where we need the DP spot.
The wide connectors Rossi and it sounds like Akhundzade; but we haven’t seen Akhundzade yet.
The striker Abou Ali; we’re good here.
#Crew96
The double pivot midfield.
The deep lying playmaker; this is Andre Gomes, let’s get him 90 minute fitness.
The vacuum/shield this should be Bangoura, but he isn’t ready. This is another strike on Issa. Getting this right was just as important as Gomes and we didn’t get it right.
#Crew96
Full backs; I do not think we’re in a good position here. I like Arfsten but he wants to play too wide and have too many tricks for this role. I hope he has a good World Cup.
Herrera isn’t it either.
I think Farsi could be great if he comes back fully fit and wants to be here.
#Crew96
So here’s my honest assessment of where Crew’s roster is against Rydstrom’s Malmo 4-2-3-1 at its best.
CB pair
Progressor this could be Zawa; I do think he would look good in this role.
Stopper, no one. I’m not trying to be a jerk here but we do not have this player.

The 2026 #Crew96 team currently have the same amount of points after 4 games as the 2016 team and this is likely due to the 10 year anniversary of the #ForColumbus kit.
Well, the only fun thing about tonight’s #crew96 game, my 5th grader was one of the students picked from his school to help paint tonight’s tifo.
Here’s the thing: Sean is the Rudy replacement. He was the best #crew96 CB last year and no one else was close. He was the 2nd highest rated CB in the MLS, per FotMob!
Not saying Issa shouldn’t have added another quality CB to the mix this offseason, but with Gomes here, move Sean back permanently
At least the league’s 25,000 goal was scored in Columbus.
#Crew96
#Crew96 fandom out there tonight proving we're just as bad as the Celtic asshats.
This fanbase is extremely spoiled… #Crew96
Haven’t scored a home goal since they switched up the match ignitor, just sayin. #Crew96
Really hard to have a #Crew96 Hotake after the start to the season, but here we go.
Cut Picard’s hair and ignite it at the next match.
We knew there would be growing pains for Henrik & #Crew96. But no wins & 2 gut-punch losses in 4 games is tough. No goals in 2 home games. Crew were good for 30 mins tonight & after that Arftsen grazing crossbar was as good as it got. Too much sideways & back passing. Play 2 win. Abou Ali isolated.
Keeping this in mind that I can attend a tailgate for free, and not spend $1500 a seat for a season in Midfield to watch this garbage. 😉 #Crew96
Issa has swung and missed on basically every big decision he’s had to make, the sooner #Crew96 cut ties with him, the better
Rough. Really rough from #Crew96. Another home game played to not concede, yet this came against a team who wasn’t focused on this game in the slightest, Nashville looking ahead to the Champions Cup. Abou Ali is too isolated with Rossi playing wide.
#Crew96 🙄
Nashville basically drew us 0-0 with their B squad first half. Their big boys came in and earned three points. We... I guess were present for it. #Crew96
On the bright side, the #Crew96 Banana Kits were GLORIOUS as always. Nice to see them again.
If a team from a tiny little island like scotland, that's never even won MLS Cup, can run a good manager out of town before he has a chance to prove himself, then surely the most Massive club in the world can do it, too. #RydstromOut #Crew96
Caleb Porter, is that you? #Crew96
How many stoppage time winners does #Crew96 have?
It was the second stoppage-time game-loser ever allowed by #Crew96 at the SMG Death Star.
8/3/2022: Joel Waterman 93+ vs. Montreal (2-1)
3/14/26: Hany Mukhtar 94+ vs. Nashville (1-0)
Tonight was the 18th stoppage-time game-losing goal in #Crew96 history. It's the third 1-0 stoppage time game-loser in club history. All at home.
6/12/11: Cristian Nazarit 91+ vs CHI
9/24/11: Chad Barrett 93+ vs LAG
3/14/26: Hany Mukhtar 94+ vs NSH
IMO the pitchforks aren’t to get rid of the manager
They’re saying
where’s the relationism?
Where’s the relativity?
Where’s the flipping Einstein football?
If #Crew96 are going to lose…then lose doing that
Not whatever we saw tonight.
If I were in charge of #Crew96 FO right now I’m negotiating a buyout with Gazdag. I’m looking for a creative 3rd DP, but they aren’t coming until after the WC. Rudy has to be on the bench, and honestly Malte should be as well. We need a rock in the center, and I’d Play Sean in Maltes spot. 1/2
I still think the Gomes introduction was the highlight of the match. He had tremendous poise and distribution. When he gets fully fit I think that will be huge.
