Oh yeah.

I mean we're probably already out of playoffs either way.

If we get three points, we won't be out of the playoffs 5 or 6 spot at all, we would be in the thick of it but if we get anything less then 3 points, this whole would be too big to climb out of.

 

[S1ARK5]

One of the big complaints on these boards has been no consistency. Now you want to change personnel and formation.

I hope PV gives us a 4-3-3 close to what we had last game. We bossed a damn good MTL squad and came extra time away from a win. Obviously need to swap RJ, probably for Iraola or maybe White if Iraola's stock has dropped that much.

Every other swap is a choice not a necessity. And I know this won't be the popular view on these boards, but if I can only make one other switch, it's not Saunders. It's Mikey "what does a guy have to do to get a red card" Lopez. Swap Mix in.

Get 3 points.

Couldn't agree more. We found a good defensive backline with Brillant and Hernandez, Mata on the flank and either RJ or Iraola and Bravo in front of them. I hope PV is smart enough not to mess with this and hopefully he starts EJ. I would put Mix and Pirlo on top of Bravo and have Villa as the Striker along with either Mac and Taylor on the wings.
Shelton of the bench, Poku of the bench and we are set.

Can't make it today. My two seats are up for grabs for free! 232b front row aisle.

PM me

TMac - Villa - Shelton
Pirlo - Bravo - Mix
Mata - Hern - Brillant - AI
EJ

Maybe a W-M instead with AI out and Poku in, but that's it for me.

Bench: Poku, Tony Tiger, Mendoza, Lopez, White, Martinez, Saunders

Going to be a huge Vancouver away section today.

That'll put Montreal and Toronto to shame, given the tiny amount of supporters of both teams who made the trip, relative to the distance between NYC and those cities and NYC and frikkin' Vancouver.

Just saw Rob, the goalkeeping coach, Eirik is not starting. I told him we need a goalkeeping change. No response from him. He was getting snacks from Legends for the players.

it's ok. My 8 yr old has his gloves with him today. He's a couple foot shorter than Saunders. But he can kick with both feet and knows how to get the ball out of his own half. We're sweet. ( this sucks)

That is not food the team should be eating before the game.

It will be a lethargic 1st but they'll have a team dump at the half and come out like new men in the 2nd.

 

[S1ARK5]

Wow saunders starting again, lopez over mix again. Smh wtf is going on?

 

[fanaka66]

No Mix. He's either in the doghouse or could they be trying to trade him?
