Is Matias Almeyda the real culprit of the disastrous San José Earthquakes? Known the details

Again a crushing result to the contrary made the climate in the San José Earthquakes hostile. Matias Almeyda's team fell 6-1 at home to Portland Timbers over the weekend. In this way the team became the one that received the most goals in the season (33) and they have not achieved a victory for seven games. In addition, they received goals with five, six and seven goals against in MLS 2020.

Although this season's numbers have not come to light, in terms of building the squad last season, the San José Earthquakes was one of the teams that spent the least. Thanks to data provided by MLS, the "Quakes" spent on average 9% less than the average MLS team. They have also signed a very expensive player like Cristian Espinoza who this season has contributed less than the previous one and is one of the highest salaries that the team has. Cycle completed?

It is expected that for this season expenses increased in relation to 2019 but instead of improving what was done last year, it worsened, achieving worse numbers than those that generated the dismissal of former club coach, Mikael Stahre. Would the Quakes benefit from spending more on players, particularly in this pandemic crisis?

Matias Almeyda will have to rethink the direction he wants to take in San José and speak with the general manager, Jesse Fioranelli and the owner, John Fisher. Beyond those future meetings, the one who has to straighten the course of the team is Matias Almeyda, the true person in charge of this catastrophe that is occurring in the San José Earthquakes.
