Atlanta United FC sits 14th in MLS with a 7-6-14 record as Breel Embolo enters a severe goal drought. Miguel Almirón shoulders the creative load, contrasting sharply with Antoine Griezmann's success at Orlando City. This episode analyzes the tactical failures behind the 2-0 loss to FC Cincinnati, where Bryan Ramirez dominated possession, and predicts significant roster changes for the offseason.

We break down the depth chart battles, highlighting how Almirón's isolated role led to a lack of shot creation compared to Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey. The discussion covers whether Embolo will score zero additional goals and if Almirón will depart as a free agent. Dave and Rachel examine the static defensive line and the midfield's inability to handle high presses.

Key topics include the impact of Philadelphia's surge and Chicago's slide on MLS power rankings, the potential departure of key players, and the need for a new striker profile. Listeners get concrete predictions on who stays and who goes as Atlanta faces a critical offseason.
