Away - 03/21 Colorado Rapids
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
Deshorn Brown was just traded to a team in Norway.
Colorado are very good at home, but awful away. Two defensive suspensions should be interesting. Their CB Axel Sjoberg is really physical. I expect him and Nemec to face off against each other.
I called for a 3-1 NYCFC victory. I agree with previous comments about altitude, but Kreis knows how to prepare a team for that so I have more confidence that he will manage that well.
Week 1 versus Phil, Colorado had the ball 38% of the time. With that much possession NYCFC can let the ball do the work.

I don't know if Nemec gets the start, Sjoberg is a giant but slow footed so they might try and attack Axel the giant with speed.
Nemec is probably best positioned to absorb Sjoberg's elbows. A couple Union players almost received TKOs; not joking - Sapong is out with a fractured cheekbone AND concussion (In fairness to Sjoberg, some say Sapong jumped into the defender). However, they don't call them "Foulorado" for nothing.
I want… no I NEED Khiry to start.
Let him dazzle where he grew up. Let him put on a show for friends and family. Velasquez looked pretty poor last game. Ballouchy didn't look much better before. Start Khiry on the wing, maybe even in a 4-3-3 if you want to keep Villa and Nemec up top.
I'd start Khiry over Nemec. I wouldn't want him over exerting himself in the thinner air. I think Nemec would be great to use as a battering ram when their players are exhausted later in the game.

Colorado is likely to play a 4-5-1 and I fear that Colorado would overwhelm our midfield if we went with a 4-3-3. Regardless of our formation, I do feel we must attack this game and put pressure on the Rapids back line. I don't know how far up I want the outside backs to go -- I trust Kreis on that one.
I don't feel bad with the red cards since we gain the lead before it happens~ Hoping that another 3 points is in the bag.
I'll be watching on my iPad in my dorm room with the Fox Sports App with the YES Network feed. Jersey on, scarf hoisted.
What were you watching? Velasquez was much better than Ballouchy, he only lacks the effort at defense. Besides, as Kreis's RSL guys, Sebastian is better prepared for 90 at 'tude.
I will be shocked if Nemec is benched.
I have the opposite thought process, if he is good as a sub, let's get him more minutes, start him, and let him tell us why he can't handle that.
