  • Great and unique pod among the Timbers landscape

    Newer listener, started during the World Cup, and immediately a huge fan. With no offense to any of the other Timbers pods out there, these guys delve way waaaay deeper in a technical and tactical elements of the game than anyone else making podcasts for the Timbers right now.

    I always learn things about the broader game as well as Timbers specific details and news when I listen, that the other pods seem miss.

    In that regard, I appreciate having them time marking the different sections of co... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Comes To Life - Portland Timbers vs San Diego & LAFC
Q: If we move Da Costa to the right wing, could Fernandez start at the eight?
Yes, Fernandez is discussed as a capable replacement at the eight and as depth for the wings, though he might not be the starter; the hosts see him as a solid bench option with work rate and pressing ability.
A Fond Farewell + Cifuentes Tactics Special - Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake
Q: What's the rationale behind Mora's departure and Janssen's arrival in the context of the new tactical direction?
Mora's exit is explained as a mix of financial considerations, desire for more regular minutes, and contract timing, while Janssen is brought in as a high-caliber striker who can provide both goal threat and link-up play, aligning with a strategy that values experienced, technically capable forwards to support a revamped attacking framework.
A Fond Farewell + Cifuentes Tactics Special - Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake
Q: Who are the winners and losers in the squad based on the new manager's preferred style of play?
The hosts suggest DaCosta and Basset look strong in the eight roles, with Janssen potentially shaking up the frontline as Mora departs, while keeping a close eye on the center backs and the keeper who best fits a possession-based approach. They emphasize that intelligent, adaptable players are favored, and rosters may shift to accommodate a more integrated system.
The Quadruple Post + New Coach Deep Dive - Portland Timbers vs FC Dallas
Q: Was the press conference a rigorous process or more of a casting-couch vibe?
They discuss the perception that the coaching search was thorough but also sprinkled with speculation, noting that the interviews were comprehensive but that some anecdotes felt like theater, while acknowledging the final decision reflected Cavalier and Ned's input.
The Quadruple Post + New Coach Deep Dive - Portland Timbers vs FC Dallas
Q: What percentage of that statement do you think he actually wrote?
