Red Bulls In 2018 CONCACAF Champions League [R]

Yeah, he's really leveled off, not sure why, but if Marsch wants to keep starting him, Muyl was to do better or those mistakes are really going to hurt against tougher opponents.

 

This is a fun ten minute video about the Red Bulls trip to TJ:

 

Valot looked really good and Rzadz looked ok too. The Felipe trade is starting to make sense. However, watch the RBNY is like watch Man U these days in that both sides are dependent on great keeper play and Oppo's blowing good chances. This can't last and Parker needs to adjust to the team. Him and Long have great potential but they need to gel.

Muyl is becoming a poor man's Zardes. Yup I said it. he is a defensive winger which doesn't make much sense unless you play a 343 or 532. He needs to step up his game.

 

Muyl is tenacious, and strong enough defensively to be first choice, but he does give a lot away in the final third.

 

Looks a little inclement on the wether front. Hopefully snow holds off until we putts one to bed. Although TJ in forester sounds like home field advantage plus.

 

Our front office better get its head out of its ass and start promoting this game to RB fans or you’ll get a sold out RB Arena with 80% Chivas fans. Assuming they beat Seattle. And if the Sounders win, still it would be nice to give the team a better Home field advantage.

 

You can't listen to the announcers on those calls. It's perhaps not 100% conclusive given the camera angle but in a freeze frame of Adams' position at the moment Murillo unleashed the pass, he was at worst even with the ball.

 

Can't imagine this will cost more than $15.

 

Fair enough. No idea on tix.

 

Last round they were $20 for general admission to certain upper level sections.

 

RBNY just sent out an email asking season ticket holders to pay a preferred ($23 for my corner seat) price to lock in the seats and price for this round and next round.

So I guess it will be regular full price EvanJ.

Outside of STH, #RBNY is offering NY v Chivas 4.10 tix only as part of a 3-match bundle that includes 2 other MLS games in order to dissuade Chivas fans from purchasing.

 

If any STH around who can get me a ticket, PM me and I can venmo/cash/check you the $.

 

Is anyone watching this? Marsch is going with a 523 and it leaves the midfield overrun. Plus he has Davis high pressing with Adams sitting back. We are down a goal and if it was up to me, I would bring on Rzats for Colin at the 60th, 65th Etienne for Muyl and 70th Kaku for Davis.

 

Getting Collin out of the game earlier might have helped. I only watched the first half, and while Adams' giveaway was disastrous, and the yellow cards unnecessary, overall the team had it's moments, especially when Lawrence was able to get forward and wreak havoc. But the team had no central midfield playmaking, and ultimately had few chances to show for it. Bringing a 1-goal deficit into the home leg is not horrible, but this team can play with the Mexicans, and so last night's game has to be looked at as a missed opportunity for at least a road point. With Muyl out, it is the opportunity for one of the other mids to step up, but is Etienne, Jr. ready for prime time?

 

Well they do need a goal. It will be interesting what we do this weekend but I say bring up RB2 and the kids. Rest Kaku and Etienne. Here is what I want for next Wednesday.

Robles
Murillo Long Parker Taxi
Valot Adams
Etienne Kaku Royer
BWP

 

Was wondering why Kaku and Ratzo didn't get any time. We're they sitting on yellow cards? I only saw 2nd half and we couldn't complete more than 2 passes without having to go long. Chivas keeper did well to close down BWP on the one chance we had in 2nd.

Collin is just a disaster lately. A veteran like him has to be smarter. Probably could have been sent off against Orlando as well. Good news that he's not available for the return leg.
