The good, the bad, and the ugly from Inter Miami's horrible loss on Saturday

Inter Miami seems unrecognizable. The Herons lost against Charlotte FC on a 3-0 score at the Bank of America Stadium. What to say to start this article that no person has said.

The team didn’t function. They couldn't stop Wilfred Zaha, the Crwon’s most dangerous player, and Idlan Toklomati, who scored a hat-trick.

Javier Mascherano could adjust the team's flaws and prevent the massive beatdown Las Garzas received. Watching the game at home, you could see that everyone wanted to attack, but when Charlotte got the ball, no one was there to defend.

It was just Lujan and Falcon against the two Charlotte speedsters. From InterHeron, here is the good, the bad, and the ugly of Inter Miami 3-0 against the Crown.

The Good

Looking at the game, there isn't much that someone could highlight. From start to finish, the Herons did a terrible job on paper. And every recap game or moment of the encounter will fill the bad or ugly category.

The lone silver lining from this match is that the Herons still have four games remaining, so their playoff destiny remains in their own hands.

Regarding the match, despite Inter Miami’s limited influence, another positive aspect was the substitutions made by Javier Mascherano. El Jefecito knew exactly who to bring on to give the team fresh energy and try to create danger while playing a man down.

The Bad

In this section, someone could highlight the lack of offensive power from Inter Miami. It is obvious that without Luis Suarez, absent due to his suspension after the Leagues Cup final altercations, the Herons lost their attacking reference.

Mascherano could have gone with a false nine. However, the Argentine manager preferred to stick with his usual and common formation of 4-3-2-1, with Tadeo Allende as the offensive reference.

Despite the former Celta de Vigo is a good second striker. He is that. A second striker. An attacker who makes the diagonals or runs into the space, and Suarez deals with the defenders.

Yesterday, Allende ended up alone in the offense, and with Segovia open, and Lionel Messi looking for the ball in the midfield, the Argentinian forward had to beat three players all by himself.

The ugly

I will get straight to the point. The defense and the defensive mode. It was incredible to watch how Fray and Alba pushed forward in attack without looking behind them.

One of the reasons Wilfred Zaha had a great game was because he was alone without the mark of Ian Fray.

Charlotte FC repeatedly found themselves unmarked in the Herons’ penalty area, exploiting defensive lapses time and again.

It’s very difficult to win a game when you have only two guys defending every possible attack.

It's true. Lujan and Falcon aren’t the most physical, fast, or technical defenders, but it’s not their fault that they had to mark three or four players every time.
