So far Chapter III has looked more like what I expected Chapter I to look like. Atlanta United has struggled to gel basically all over the pitch, the much touted but recently struggling high-profile international manager seems to have underestimated the challenges that MLS and Concacaf offer (or is at least placing a lot of emphasis on turf and field conditions, which... OK?), and in the early part of the season the Designated Players have had uneven if not disappointing showings.
Against Monterrey, and DCU for that matter, the Atlanta attack failed to do what it did so well last year - get the ball to Josef Martinez in the box and let him use some part of his body to smash it into the net.
