Our thumping of ATL woke the Times up! You have to wonder if this was a scheduled piece, or if it came about because of the result, the performance, the heightened expectations, etc. Which also goes to the heart of the debate whether great performances without starts that would be familiar to casual fans can revert out attendace/local relevance declines

Not sure if anyone who regularly watches us would describe Mitri with phrases like "diligent work" and "knack for finding open spaces" lmao

exactly what i thought when i read that portion...

i was like uh.... maybe in the last handful of games? but it's def. not a standout characteristic of his play.
 
Mitri's work ethic coincides with his success in the offensive half. He was all over the place last night. One of the best performances we've ever seen at Yankee Stadium.
Yeah, the first game I remember seeing this bite to his game was RBNJ at YS. Not sure what changed but I'm excited.

He was tweeting from the Stadium last night, which he doesn't usually do, so I think they planned to cover the game either way.
 
I believe Forbes wrote an article on Dome too, for consideration as Manager of the Year.

I didn’t even know Forbes had a sports desk.

sadly manager of the year will likely go to bradley or alymeda.

personally, i think it's between alymeda and dome. bradley has a stacked side that'd probably win regardless

Almeyda is this close to missing the playoffs and he’d be manager of the year?

His team has lost four straight games and finishing against Seattle and at Portland.

The chances for both of those guys have faded a bit, with San Jose now in danger of missing the playoffs and LAFC retreating a bit from it's dominant start. But there are still a couple of weeks to go. If San Jose gets into the playoffs or LAFC end up breaking New Jersey's points record, those guys could easily get coach of the year.

Also, don't sleep on Adrian Heath in Minnesota.
