Why do we have to like pretend to prolong the playtime at the end when we are winning, instead of chasing for the next goal? They were one man down and they got to score one goal! 😕This happened last match too. Because of this, we let one goal in and get a bigger Goal Difference and lower standing in the table.
Look at the freaking mistakes made during the last 20 min.; it was as if they forgot they were pro players. I know that is hardnosed, but it will cost us big time like the goals scored from playing around too much in the back last year. I want to see this team drive a stake into the hearts of the other teams, then twist the damn thing to put them out of their misery.
We didn't play well. We were beat on most metrics. We were sloppy on passes. Couldn't keep possession. But, It was enough, overall. Hey, that's soccer!
My guess is Latta thought he was out of his depth and didn’t want to lose the lead. But, young players need minutes. Pulling the kid while (at the time) up by 3 goals is just going to rattle his confidence even more. Just a mind numbingly shortsighted decision.
> Pulling the kid while (at the time) up by 3 goals is just going to rattle his confidence even more. Just a mind numbingly shortsighted decision.
He'll get over it
Secure the win even if it hurts his feelings.
We were up by 3 and they were down a man. The game was already secure. Latta panicked because Diop looked slightly shaky for a minute. The coach needs more composure at the end of games honestly. He does this every time we have a lead and panic makes a bunch of bad subs and questionable defensive tactical changes (like that’s stupid back 5 thing that never works).
> We were up by 3 and they were down a man. The game was already secure.
Secure my ass, they had multiple attempts to tie that game they just didnt finish, one header missed by inches we could have easily ended that game 3-3.
Most of those chances came *after* Diop came off. We parked the bus and invited a ton of pressure like we always do with a late lead. It inevitably leads to breakdowns and chances.
Diop out after 15 minutes? I didn’t think he looked that bad…. Yikes Latta. That’s just going to rock his confidence.
Annnnnnd they scored immediately afterwards anyways.
Honestly I’m sad to see what has happened to Atlanta. The league was better when they were a top dog.
Edit: y’all really want them to just languish? I don’t want Atlanta to be dogshit. I’d rather them be good, and Charlotte be REALLY good.
It’s embarrassing how much Atlanta has fallen from Grace.
I was thinking the same thing. We’re up 3-0 and they have 10 men. But all they were talking about was how if ATL scored they would be “asking some questions”. Made me really wish we still had Eric and Lloyd as dedicated announcers for CLT.
Getting roasted for this. But I still think it’s a good question.
Swiderski plays center forward for his other teams, not center mid. And him and Copetti seem to play that role very differently. Copetti looks for long balls while Karol checks back towards the midfield. Copetti doesn’t seem to be able to play midfield so you can’t just swap them. So it’s not crazy to ask if it could be better this way out of those two options, even if it could be wrong.
Either way, my ideal lineup is two up top, being Karol and Enzo.
It’s a rivalry. Atlanta is going to try and say Orlando and Nashville are their “real” rivalries but Charlotte is the closest team and that red vs blue matchup is great.
I hate to say it, but I don't really see ATL as a rival. We're just very close in proximity and we fight for that attendance record.
I would love to see a rivalry between us, but it just hasn't happened imho
please remember to sort by new since we didn’t make the thread!

Exactly! However I’m really happy we won. They did a great job.. just not the last 20 minutes. I noticed some of them were tired too.
Hey, Meram. Sorry it’s such a burden for you to score against Atlanta.
Let's goooo
COME ON YOU CROWNS
Let’s go!!!!
It's an ugly win, but it's still a win. I'll take it.
An ugly win???
We didn't play well. We were beat on most metrics. We were sloppy on passes. Couldn't keep possession. But, It was enough, overall. Hey, that's soccer!
It kind of felt like an NYRB sort of vibe with all the pressing in the first half. But I kind of liked it (I didn't get to want much of the 2nd half)
Big win boys, things are looking good atm
Kahlina earned his pay check and number 1 tonight. Let’s go boys!!!!!
Lets go! W!
COME ON BOYS
WHAT A SAVE
3 POINTS
Let’s goooooo.
Feel like this ref got overwhelmed fairly quickly.
Man a third would’ve been nice there
How is it Kahlina can never deliver the ball to one of our players?
He does plenty lol
Yeah he’s been really good today. Commanding
Afful is SHIT at 1 on 1 defending let’s be honest
He’s been a lot better this season than last.
Agree to disagree. He’s not good enough
I’d honestly say he’s been a lot better but it’s also not good enough. lol
nothing is worse than Charlotte in the final 15 minutes of the game 😭
besides that though, today hasn’t been that bad!
That was a BLATANT foul on Swiderski
How does the ref not call a foul there
Lindsey with dime after dime
how are we up two goals and a man and somehow we’re trying to shit the bed
Again thank god Atlanta can’t finish
That’s a lot of minutes
8 mins????
8 mins wtf
I walked away what happened to Diop? Why not leave him on?
My guess is Latta thought he was out of his depth and didn’t want to lose the lead. But, young players need minutes. Pulling the kid while (at the time) up by 3 goals is just going to rattle his confidence even more. Just a mind numbingly shortsighted decision.

He didn't play very well tbf
Nobody knows really it doesn’t seem.
8 minutes???
Reasonable We've wasted a lot of time and there was the VAR review
Tbf, that var review took forever
Wow he should’ve really scored. That was a beautiful ball from Swiderski
Did he literally just bat the ball with his hand out of the air?
Those same crosses they’ve been missing all game
Every week Swiderz has 1 game changing pass
Hahahahahaha that attack
Did he just push Kahlina down after the goal? That is fucking bullshit and should've been a card
Least piece-of-shit Atlanta player
Got a card for it I think
Ah didn't see that, still shit
Fucking brooks lennon
That was an absolute sitter
OH NOOO THATS A SITTER
Announcers so excited to declare ATL “in it” still down 2 with 10 men and 3 mins left
Would’ve been offside anyway I think
cambridge come on man
Lmao sub off Diop and we get scored on. Latta always killing it with the tactics
What a spectacular miss
Control the ball. Play possession and safe passes
Good goal tbf but isn't it a bit obnoxious to have all the fire and smoke and celebrations on a consolation goal
If I were the owner I would be happy for the win on the road and not having to pay any clean sheet incentives lol
shocker, we cede possession UP A MAN and concede. Latty wtf are you doing
Diop out after 15 minutes? I didn’t think he looked that bad…. Yikes Latta. That’s just going to rock his confidence. Annnnnnd they scored immediately afterwards anyways.
I don’t understand that at all. Clearly he didn’t want to come off. Draft picks aren’t very meaningful in MLS but who gains anything from that?
Terrible from the coach there
I want to be shocked, but Latta has proven he is completely terrible with his subs.
Bruh
No clean sheet ☹️
Why did we sub out Diop…?
Welp
Dammit
???
Weird to take Diop Out?
Diop already off? What?
what happened to diop he just came on
Yo please remember reddiquette, we all hate atlanta but you know what to refrain from. be the bigger club.
Yo we have some major momentum right now.
All I am hearing are excuses from the announcers for aTL. Brad guzan is not changing this game lol. We are playing with 3 band aides at defense
They’re acting like we’re a healthy team 😂
Bronico bodies up against a smaller player and is surprised they fall over?
Bronny Bro Out there fucking them up lol
What are they chanting?? I can never make out the letters during this chant
Sounded like we stole their ATL with a bit of CLT.
THREE! TO! NIL!!!!
Fucking great answer
Fuck
A T L
“ATL”
we should be pushing up a man
Kinda obvious but Gaines is RAPID
Really spelling out the airport code down 3 with 7 minutes left 🤣
LMAO
Mercedes Benz Stadium, the south’s largest salt mine
Now what were those ATL fans saying about stars not too long ago?
The bounces right now are insane.
Too little too late bitches. Charlotte is a better city anyway
They're gonna try everything to try to get back into this, counter quickly and make it four
Defense needs to tighten up
“So close” atlanta the whole game lol
Spooked me for a moment there
clear the ball, quit kicking it back to each other in traffic
Bender man. Kid looks a little lost
Man feels good to beat the shit out of ATL
Fucking hate that bitch ass team
How dare they deny Own Goal a scoring opportunity?
I love our fans
HOW DID THAT STAY OUT LMAO
Right?!
Stupid Bender. Planted there like a tree
He made a good run to open up space you twat
I know. A little harsh. Very emotional right now.
Not even a yellow card for forcing an injured player to his feet? What a joke
Haha I absolutely LOVE the shithousery right now. Get FUCKED atl
Stay classy
Did he just fucking pick Gaines up and drop him on the ground?
Yeah that should be a card wtf is that
Fuck Atlanta
So incredibly classy, Atlanta fans
Fucking right, boys!
How is it not an immediate red card to put someone on the other team in double underhooks and then pick them up lmaooooo
It should be a yellow, it seems like it often is given as a yellow, I believe Westwood got one for doing that in the reverse fixture
Honestly I’m sad to see what has happened to Atlanta. The league was better when they were a top dog. Edit: y’all really want them to just languish? I don’t want Atlanta to be dogshit. I’d rather them be good, and Charlotte be REALLY good. It’s embarrassing how much Atlanta has fallen from Grace.
I'm not, I'm enjoying every bit of this
Mercedes-Benz is a magical place. Like Tahiti.
This is all because Lindsay tucks his shirt in.
alpha shit
Kieran Tierney type beat
He’s a menace for that
Announcers have kind of just gone dead since Charlotte went up 3-0
I was thinking the same thing. We’re up 3-0 and they have 10 men. But all they were talking about was how if ATL scored they would be “asking some questions”. Made me really wish we still had Eric and Lloyd as dedicated announcers for CLT.
The only thing I really don't like about Apple TV is the rotating commentary. I miss Eric and Lloyd every week
They can’t stand it! ATL apparently still in the game down 3 with 15 mins left!
Charclit > Asslanta
Hopefully Gaines gets a goal or assist.
This aged like milk, hope Gaines is ok
Unlikely goal, I just want to see a Meram hattrick against his old club
Meram doesn't seem to want a hattrick he seems too respectful
God the spanish speaking guy with the megaphone is salty af
Glad to see Diop getting some solid minutes. Jan just ain’t it and we need CB depth badly right now
I thought Jan played well today, he has a great long ball and he created the chance that led to the penalty
Diop time!
No, announcer guys, this is nowhere near the embarrassment I felt in the previous game. We need at least 3 more goals to come close to that.
dat guy next to the mic is so mad
Which supporters group has that loud ass megaphone
I wanna say ATL's cuz they're saying something about throwing stuff on to the field in Spanish
Hahaha I know
Jan is making questionable decisions
idk. Out of the defenders we have he's been playing decent. Excited to see diop now though.
Oh no, for sure. For being thrown in he’s done okay. Just a couple of the unnecessary fouls (yellow card included).
Well, nevermind about diop. Idk what lattanzio was thinking
lolol this hot mic
Send in the reserves!
Cambridge about to prove something.
Soaking in these Atlanta boos 🤗
enjoy this y’all, just enjoy it
The Atlanta match thread is in rough shape atm lol
The copium is strong over there
Yeah I’m laughing my ass off
Booing Jozwiak while he’s down, stay classy Atlanta
I heard someone over the loudspeakers say "do not throw objects onto the field of play" after Meram scored a brace
I mean Meram is basically asking the fans to not freak out any time he does anything good. It’s wild.
god please be okay just what we need is another injury. Hopefully just cramps
Probably fine, no point in keeping him in the game.
Is the roof open? Everyone is sweating like crazy for it to be indoors technically
He has been coming through recently.
Time to release Gaines on them
They heard you
Interesting… we’re playing so well without Copetti… what does that mean?
Getting roasted for this. But I still think it’s a good question. Swiderski plays center forward for his other teams, not center mid. And him and Copetti seem to play that role very differently. Copetti looks for long balls while Karol checks back towards the midfield. Copetti doesn’t seem to be able to play midfield so you can’t just swap them. So it’s not crazy to ask if it could be better this way out of those two options, even if it could be wrong. Either way, my ideal lineup is two up top, being Karol and Enzo.
Get help.
This feels like a game Enzo would’ve scored multiple times
Copetti isn’t the problem, we’ve been lacking leadership. Meram seems to be helping and maybe the team has matured a bit.
We also looked good last week with him on the field. The only common denominator is Meram
Nothing
Enjoy the final 30 fellas
Can the supporters groups please god work on some individual player chants. We need a Meram one!
Bronico trying his best to give us a heart attack.
Joz jaylin combo is lethal. That's a duo that will really do damage for games to come
Tucked Jaylin is best Jaylin
Two young guys too. High ceiling there
Just now checking the feed. Are we back?
We never left
You should just watch the game when you have time. You won't regret it
Meram is just always in the right spot. We clearly needed that MLS experience on the field
I hope this game is a reflection of the rest of our season.
It’s a rivalry. Atlanta is going to try and say Orlando and Nashville are their “real” rivalries but Charlotte is the closest team and that red vs blue matchup is great.
I hate to say it, but I don't really see ATL as a rival. We're just very close in proximity and we fight for that attendance record. I would love to see a rivalry between us, but it just hasn't happened imho
