I thought the play improved once they removed Sinclair and D’Aquila from the forward slot, but the. It became about quality and Lavelle/Ryan just took the game over. I can’t tell tactically whether he’s inept or is it more the composition of the IX he’s choosing or some combination of both,

It didn't. Look at the xG plot. The Thorns had nothing going forward with Sinc (shocked? Yeah, me too...) and nothing going forward after she and D'Aquila came off.
Which, given what you'd suspect re: the relative skillsets of the forwards, screams "coaching fail" to me. It's both; his "tactics" don't work against a moderately-clever opposing gaffer AND they don't work with his roster as he's using it.

Yeah he's def shifted the formation a bit and I'm not sure it suits the players we have (esp on defense.)
