Listen, you people with your rational takes, my desire to crush the Red Bulls knows no rationality...

FUCK
We were the better team in the first half but when you don't take your chances when your in control it generally comes back to bite you.
Awful having to listen to this with the Red Bull announcers . Cangolesi such a homer he almost jizzed his pants calling their goal. At every possible opportunity referring to them as "New York" and trying to play it off like the balance of play changed in the second half because Red Bull turned up their intensity and not because Maxi was off the field.
The big miss last night was Rodney. His athleticism covers all manner of mistakes on the left and in midfield.We were atrocious last night. That we managed to create two scruffy chances in the first half doesn't justify how poor we were througout, including when Maxi was on the field.
TMac is a soggy beanbag of a player and should only be used against the worst of the MLS.
The White/Sweat combo has been used so far beyond it's shelf life it's a joke.
Harrison has regressed. Is that because of how pathetic White is outside of his defensive third, or because Mata creates space for him to operate with his ability to get forward, probably a combo of both.
Trying to pass it around the back and then playing route one football to two players that are generously listed as 5'3" and 5'9" is sickening and I'm tired of seeing it. I assume at this point we'll never see Villa played with a target man and that's a really a shame. Somehow the Curse of Adam Nemec lives on.
Hearing Shep Messing pronounce Muyl is my own personal hell.

Hearing Shep Messing pronounce Muyl is my own personal hell.
He got it right when he pronounced David in the English manner. If it weren't that I just don't think Shep is smart enough to intentionally do it, I'd have thought it s troll.My personal hell was hearing him pronounce "Villa" as if he were a house you would rent in France or the brother of Bob.
You could argue that this is the kind of complacency behind the fact that we didn't win tonight, or that we've never won at RBA, and probably won't win there next weekend.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Everything's fine. Team selection and management was fine. Brillant was fine. Performance was fine. Result was fine. Why worry?
thing is there was no one else to pick....keep in mind we can only have 5 non americans in this team.....so we were pretty limited in that area....our american based players are not as good as we thought.
chanot was still injured.....we have no other CB in team. you could improvise and move white to CB and then have RJ on right....would that have made it better? or gomes on RB?
its not complacency .....we do want that win and we went for it hit the post twice .....then maxi was out and we had no answer .....there is no one else that can have the dynamic.....yes stertzer was the blunder PV made....but outside of that maybe take out tommy ?
having mata, chanot, herrera, maxi, wallace in lineup can definitely give a new dynamic to the team. i am still confident we can still get a result in 9 days.
Surprised at the number of people who seem to think "We fielded a team capable of winning the match" is the same as "We put in an acceptable performance" or "We are taking this rivalry/tournament seriously"

Have people said that here?Surprised at the number of people who seem to think "We fielded a team capable of winning the match" is the same as "We put in an acceptable performance" or "We are taking this rivalry/tournament seriously"
Can't understand the brillant hate or putting the blame on the defense.
Yeah, he royally fucked that up, but is he really the reason we lost last night? Or is it moreso that our midfield was overrun, we were out-possessed 57-43, etc. Before the NJRB goal in the second half, the guy next to me leaned over and blatantly said, "we haven't crossed midfield yet".HOW CAN YOU NOT? This game was tough. This game was a battle. We missed our chances so it probably should have finished 0-0. That opportunity was left on the table when Sean Johnson sends that ball out to Brillant under pressure. I fault Sean more than I fault Brillant and I can't stand Brillant. Sean HAS to know that that is not the play to make. He is guaranteed to screw that situation up every time. The keeper is responsible for organizing the back line and sending that ball was the death knell.
I completely lost my shit in the stands. Take all of your individual frustrations and add on top of that a ridiculous amount of time spent on work behind the scenes FOR FREE and all you hope for in return is a win...
That's how I'm feeling. It really sucks.
All I'm saying is we cannot simply blame that guy for losing 1-0.
