FC Cincinnati sits at 9-9-10 in 17th place as Matt Miazga departs for NYCFC, leaving a defensive void. Kévin Denkey’s brace against Atlanta United offers hope, but questions remain about midfield depth and Bryan Ramirez’s influence.

We analyze the impact of Miazga’s departure on the defensive line, comparing the 2-0 win over Atlanta to the 5-0 loss against Philadelphia. Key players discussed include Kévin Denkey, Bryan Ramirez, Roman Celentano, and the incoming threats from New England and Inter Miami.

The episode covers roster-cut predictions, the risk of midfield isolation, and potential play-in tournament matchups against Philadelphia Union or Nashville SC. Hosts evaluate whether the current squad can compete for a playoff spot without their former captain.
