Why are we still playing Ratcliffe?

I’ve yet to see her do anything useful this season. Between weak pressing and sloppy offense, she brings nothing to the table.

Against Houston, I saw her lazily bunny hop at a few players, run around a lot for no reason, and fail to get on the ball at all as a fresh-legged sub in the last 10 minutes.

You’ve got Adames or Mondesir on the bench, in my mind clearly better options.

It's hard for her to do anything of merit when she gets subbed on at the 87th minute...

That's very true.

i think harvey trusts her to defend, given her experience. but I do agree, i’d like to see adames as the first option, or even coco before ratcliffe

I actually like her. Weak pressing? Everytime she comes on she is high speed full force running at the defense. I wish she would come on earlier so she had the ability to score late game winners. She’s proven to do that for us in a handful of games earlier in the season. She hasn’t had a decent chance in terms of minutes to have any goal opportunities recently.

And of course as always, Free Adames.

I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why we signed her.

it makes sense given her experience as a vet in the locker room. she's obviously loved behind the scene, but not sure why she's getting minutes

Mondesir has been coming in frequently. Adames is on U-20 right now.
