The Biggest issue to me is the coaching department and technical director and their bullshit pie in the sky philosophy that shows they have NFI that football is a simple game that requires scoring more goals than the opponent.
Yesterday watching the 19s and 22s just showed that this program is actually going backwards.
These kids have been in the system now for a couple of years. They should be constantly getting better every year with each generation stronger than the last. That isn't happening. They are honestly getting worse.
The kids do not understand the system the way they should and are being screwed over by people highly inflexible in their approach.
These kids are being taught nothing about winning, they are being taught nothing about defending, they are being played out of position, they are being screwed by coaches that inflexible to tweak the tactics to win games.
They are actually being held back from making it to the HAL or where ever they can end up by the very people who should be developing their games.
