Home - 09/01 DC

[NYCFC_Dan]

Midweek game at home against DC following a road game at Orlando.
It's a late Thursday so not as bad of a swing but you figure only 2 training days unless they don't give them Monday off.

Depends on how they handle their travel home. Expect them to take a flight Sunday night straight from the game. If they fly Monday, they might have a practice before the flight because nobody exercises well after flying. Either way, if they do practice Monday, the game players would have a recovery-type day and the bench players would practice normally. I bet they get the day off.

Would be a good day to take the chartered flight.

DC still stinks. Hoping for some squad rotation, at least with Lampard and Pirlo who have shown no ability thus far to play a game in the heat and humidity and then play several days later.

 

[Goodfella]

Mid week games are ABSOLUTE SHIT SHOWS! Can't wait and I'm off on Friday!

True, but don't forget we still have to travel to Houston, and already burnt at least 2 of the 4 allowed (SEA-TOR and NY-SKC).

Won't have Matarrita for this one, but probably the only player of ours on international duty.

No word if Birnbaum and/or Hamid will get called up by Jurgen. I didn't see Saborio on the list for CR.

The tribute will consist of another pigeon sacrifice...

If that's what it takes to secure another 300 goals...

Birnbaum was called up for the USMNT, Hamid was not.

Also, if I'm interpreting the current disciplinary report correctly, and it hasn't been updated quite yet, Jared Jeffrey will be suspended for this match.

Feels like this has become a must-win

Nah. We are still second and within striking distance of first in the East. Sure we do need to win this one, being at home against a weak DCU, but far from the metaphorical "must-win" and certainly not a mathematical must-win.

Not a mathematical must-win, but very few points separate 1-5 in the conference. We could really drop if we go in a losing streak. And it's a home game, hence a must-win this late in the season

DC has 2 more points in the last 6 games than we do.

Certain players need some rest:

---McNamara--Villa--Harrison---
-----------Pirlo-----Mix-------------
----------------Bravo----------------
--RJ---Brillant--Chanot--White--
------Heart Attack at Age 22------

Mata will be on international duty, or injured

White??? Dude, it should be Martinez and RJ.

I don't know what Vieira thinks anymore...

The only defender on the bench tonight was Allen. The closest other two were Bravo and Lopez.

It's almost like he knew we'd lose and need the attacking threats for subs

 

[Gotham Gator]

Here is my prediction for our lineup. I'm guessing that Brillant will still be out, but given it's a home game, maybe he plays. If so, slot him in for Mena.



Bench: Lurch, 6Train, Q-Tip, TonyTiger, HeyMikey, White, Martinez

If it were up to me, I would instead start RJ on the right with Martinez on the left and have Mix in the 18.
