"We've talked about it this week, just with Kevin's suspension and how we want our attacking structure to look, to begin the game. Personnel, balance, all of it and Dado [Gerardo Valenzuela] missed the time from his suspension, and I think he lost some game minutes there."
"The biggest concern is four games in a row now where we don't finish the game with 11 men. That's a discipline issue, and whether it's frustration on an individual level or collectively, that can't carry over into affecting the team to finish the game."
FC Cincinnati's head coach Pat Noonan is confident in the team's ability to cope without suspended top scorer Kevin Denkey in their upcoming match against Chicago Fire. Denkey's absence follows a series of disciplinary issues, with Cincinnati receiving a red card in each of their last four MLS games. Noonan emphasizes the need to address these discipline problems while relying on players like Gerardo Valenzuela and Kenji Mboma Dem to fill the gap left by Denkey. Chicago Fire has had a strong start to the season, currently sitting second in the Eastern Conference.
