P/I/P Match 32: Revs @ ORL, Sun 10/24/21 7:30p [R]

Oh, yeah - there's a game today! For the Supporters' Shield winners! Makes me so happy to see the team celebrate and to see supporters with the Shield - last road trip of the year is one to remember. LFG Revs!

 

I better not see a bunch of squad rotation tonight.
We still have 3 teams to stomp in the regular season to grab the points record and put it out of reach for years.
The first round bye in the playoffs is your break.
Get this shit DONE boys.

 

Agree on the squad rotation but would mind Turner getting a break.

 

AND Arena fields a "B
" team to start. Uggggh This group has zero chance to win

 

Bold strategy rotating everybody BUT Turner and Farrell, Cotton. Let's see how this plays out.

 

Another sluggish Revs start. D barely coordinated. Orlando monopolizing possession. Revs attack disjointed. Traustasen disconnected...

 

Imo these guys barely play together at the same time so it's expected. Rain is adding to the shit show. I wanna see Henry Tajon and Buksa at half. Gil and bou at 60

 

These Revs players practice together all season! Orlando’s goal and Revs awful level of play is objectively mind-numbing.

 

I wonder if Arena is planning next season, closely observing which of the "B" team remain or will be leaving? It seems a tie is the plan, then one more win against Miami, maybe a tie with Colorado? That plan will lead to the SS points record.

 

I'd be happy to give him a short list right now for leaving

So Arena takes off Boateng but leaves that stiff Bunbury on what a WASTE

 

Now what arena???

 

I really don't like Arena taking his foot off the gas. That never ends well in my experience.

 

This Revs play at 58 mins. is awful!!!!

 

Bunbury would be on my short list.

 

BA’s roster strategy, whatever it was, had been fulfilled by the abjectly inferior level of play - starters & subs - this loss is on BA. Tell the truth BA. Revs s/b competitive in its final 3 games. Tonight, menos que nada.

 

BUUUUUUUKSA!!!!!!!!

 

Good that we tie... Imagine if Arena had played a good team from the beginning? I want the all time league record for points too. Hope he stops this scrub team NOW

 

Number 1 on mine

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you Buksa for the salvific 1 point!

 

Just gonna enjoy this club while it's still together. Once the A team came on (or at least the core of it) they pretty much controlled the match.

 

I know we selfishly want the records and everything, but the approach tonight - while perhaps overly heavy on rotation - was not fundamentally wrong. What I want more than anything is a healthy squad when the regular season ends. Yes, we will have a long break before the playoffs, but a long break won't heal a major injury. Because of the upcoming break, I fully expect the main contributors to see the majority of the minutes in the last two home games. It will be easier to do that now that they got a little rest tonight. And they still once again proved their mettle as a side tonight by grinding out a point. The Revolution have SEVENTY F-ING POINTS ON THE SEASON. I'm ultimately satisfied with the strategy employed in this game, and now just one more win and the points record is ours.

 

I cannot agree. This starting “second team” needed to step up, following the success so far in this season, having earned the SS and looking toward the end of the season and the playoffs. They did not step up. That is the objective underbelly of the beast of this Revs roster, IMHO.
