After the 3-1 drubbing by LA, New Jersey are next to last in the East and 19 of 22 overall in goal differential at -6.
Bless Their Hearts (RBNJ Talk Here)
- Thread starter Midas Mulligan
- Start date
I don't typically watch them but the way they played last night, 2 wins against them this year is a minimum
Really should have been 3-0. That goal at the end was a ton of good fortune for RB and an LA team knowing they had already won.
The NY Times weighs in with harsh words about the state of the Red Bull nation - less about the team and results than about the project as a whole, including the fans.

In past seasons, Major League Soccer has rolled out the red carpet for matches featuring the Red Bulls and the Los Angeles Galaxy — or, in viewership terms, Market No. 1 versus Market No. 2.

Sunday night’s game at Red Bull Arena was no different. Except that as the predicted showers initially held off and vibrant sunshine instead beamed down, it soon became evident that this game was, in fact, a little different. Empty seats outnumbered occupied ones, and the stadium buzz was more of a murmur as the Red Bulls’ supporters section valiantly rolled through its usual songbook.

The Times doesn't even regularly cover local soccer, so for them to take the space to write that....
Why give a damn about LA vs NJ when you have LA vs NYC? But that's also a little warning to ourselves. That as much as us diehards would love 3 underage DPs (that sounds dirty, but I can't remember the real term), we need star power in NY to make this work.
Very true. So we just need to get top players in top form, easy!
BWP's goal against Toronto was impressive, but was it a bicycle kick?

Here's a fairly interesting take on how the RB midfield has been impacted by the exit of Dax.

It sums up Kljestans completely - he needs other players to carry the water in order for him to even remotely be effective. It's why he'll never be a MNT regular- everybody has to carry their own weight.
Red Bulls feels more and more like Chivas USA with each passing day.
Red Fools have money to spend, are looking for impact player in summer transfer window.

so who are they sending over on loan from salzburg or leipzig
Every player is only as good as the guys behind him. A good CDM makes the rest of the midfielders better. Good midfielders make the forwards better. It's why mix never had a chance here. He never played with a decent CDM.
You had me until you got all Mix-ish again. Even if I agreed that he never played with a decent CDM, the lack thereof would only represent one of many possible failure modes. I wanted Mix to be good, but his spatial awareness isn't sharp enough. And he would not make this 11 regardless of cap hit. And that's pretty cool.
Well, I knew it would happen eventually. You know, me in the right frame of mind, the right song showing up in my random shuffle.
It did. Without further delays, my sons dedicated to RBNJ.
ETA: if you're curious, and I'm sure you are, I like Robles and Tyler Adams.

Wonder if they'd invite the #1 pick for the Rangers or Islanders?
