Away 05/10 - Red Bulls

- Start date
I think a good showing with at least one point from this game can be a springboard for the team.
Of course with an expansion team nothing is guaranteed, but after the Red Bulls match the schedule is somewhat favorable to us. Four out of the next five games definitely fall into the winnable column (Chicago, Philly, Houston and Montreal).
Pick up a point in Harrison and do some damage to the four teams mentioned, and the team is right back into the thick of things.

It's NJ. You can see the MLS patch at the end of it. Though the fact that it is an American jersey really only adds to my list of questions
I know. It was a shot.
I feel like we're going to lose but GODFUCKINGDAMMIT I WANT IS TO WIN THE FUCKING GAME.
Having, what we're assuming, David Villa at 100% can't be stressed enough. Few games this year will he not be the best player on the field, especially at full health. Reading all the previews this week, many noted his five shots in ~35-40 mins vs. possibly the best team in the league, granted he wasted a heartbeat's amount of time in an easy tap-in in the middle of the second half.
He's our best opportunity to score, but he's also our best opportunity to make a critical first pass. Like we saw during the Philly game, he passes and cuts. And while he didn't get the through ball immediately, he still found the net at the end of the sequence. It's exactly like he NER home opener. He made the initial pass, made a beautiful run that required a simple pass and placed a simple, perfect shot.
It stinks, because I don't want to be that team that relies too heavily on one player, BUT when that player is a year removed from scoring in the World Cup and in the Champions League Final, he must be the first option in those kinds of plays. He's still sneaky, and even if he doesn't have that shot on goal, he's got the ability to play the ball across goal. Hopefully, that's where Shelton will find his first goal of the season, beating his man. As someone who's played in arguably the best and fiercest derby, the onus will be on him to really set the tone and take the bull by the horns.

Any regular forum members here who want a ticket tomorrow, I have a few. I'll take a beer at the match. Everyone freaking cancelled on me.
Sucks that this game is on mother's day, to hard to leave the kids with the wife to go to the game. Also sucks the rangers are playing, so you can basically forget about watching this at a bar.
How will we lose. We have David villa as a dp they have a bp dp. We have usmnt mid fielder mix. They have has been 3rd string little finger.
Watching Newcastle play West Brom on the Saturday morning before the RBNJ match and hey, guess what they've been singing for the past 10 minutes?!
Dammit I hope they lose, hockey fans come out only when their teams make the playoffs, just like those fake boxing fans the day of Mayweather Vs Pacman. Plus there's no way they're gonna win 3 straight and I don't wanna see another random guy at the stadium again yell out "Go Rangers" while following the game on a smartphone app.
Sunday is all about the boys in blue. (And I'm not talking NYPD)

Visitors section is sold out and NJRB is expecting a sellout crowd for the first time this season, I'm sure there will be a lot of NYCFC fans.
Hopefully it's a bit more than that. I'd like to see the stadium filled up with light blue shirts.
