What Happened in Houston, CITY's Schematic Identity & Another US Open Cup Opinion

Moon & Rocchio break down a number of questions and observations from two unremarkable games against Real Salt Lake and Dynamo, what's going on with the CITY high-press, how the backline questions are starting to rack up, a strong showing from a ragtag group in Houston, how much the lack of defensive consistency on the backline has hampered the press in the last two games, Moon wants to see more heart from the lineup on a more consistent basis, why Rocchio thinks that CITY is best in a 2-striker scheme--but why that doesn't always mean its best with Klauss & Adeniran and the unfortunate and short-sighted decision from the MLS on the league's 1st-team US Open Cup participation.
