im still seeing 70-75% chance...not huge difference but still. i got my poncho ready.
Don't think I have ever been less excited for game day. Missing 7 of our best XI. Getting a point out of this match would be a win. Getting 3 points would be completely unexpected and amazing
apparently there can still be at around 5-6PM hope it doesnt mean the game will get delayed....if it is im screwed since i gotta leave early since i got work early tomorrow
A shot in the dark here.
Possible variation is McNaMullet in midfield and Harrison on the wing.
Bench: McNaMullet, Stertzer, Herrera, Sands, Oooh Ah!, Lurch, Rawls

Isn't this one a bit light on DM? I mean, both Maxi and Jack run more than TMac but neither is a defender per se. And we know about Pirlo on that issue (despite his smart positioning) I dunno how dynamic SKC midfield is, but this one could get overrun. I would go 442 with Yugo and JLew up front, and Sands behind Pirlo as a true DM. Pirlo could act as a deep-lying playmaker and Maxi roaming right behind the ST.
After seeing how we've suffered without Ring this year (and without Iraola as a DM last year) I would go with the 16 y.o. Also, I see many similarities between him and Iraola (except for the 15 year LaLiga resume cough, cough!) they both have good vision and good passing, but are too slight of frame to be tackling bulldogs like Ring. They play more like finesse DMs. Maybe Sands can do a passable Iraola impersonation and get us out of this mess.
Honestly I'll be disappointed if he doesn't start tonight. I know it's more conventional bringing him off the bench but with so many starters missing this is the perfect low profile match to give him a start.
Relevant question: I've seen umbrellas at the stadium each time it rained, and even when it was super sunny and hot -- When did this become a thing? I was always under the impression bringing umbrellas to a sporting event was a huge no-no.
It's still a shitty thing to do but people either lack fucks or don't care (or more likely, didn't care to think) about the view lines of the people behind them. Raincoat and a hood/hat accomplishes the same thing, albeit better in windy scenarios.
Sands is our only DM. He literally has to play.
F: Lewis - Okoli - Harrison
M: Maxi - Pirlo - Sands
D: Sweat - Callens - Brillant - Allen
Though I'm sure TMac will start. Just not sure where.
lots of teams play without a DM though... That said i wouldnt mind seeing what the kid can do
Really, there are going to be very very few people in seats tonight, so I think an umbrella is okay, so long as you're not right in front of someone -- where you can probably just move over a few seats to not ruin everything.
This is sort of where I have ended up. I had just assumed umbrellas were prohibited items until I saw people bringing and using them. I thought it created too much of a sight line issue. Then I realized it mostly doesn't matter in the rain because of the sparseness of rain crowds in exposed seats. Using it for sunlight is another thing.
Transportation question here:
Im from upstate and not sure of the subway quirks. I have an appointment in the Garment District that ends around 6:30. I was planning on catching the D train at Herald Square to YS. But then i saw that the D train runs express in the Bronx during rush hour. Will this be a problem for me?

Sometimes I have taken a D and it says it will stop locally at 161st Street on game days, but usually not. You probably want to transfer across the platform at 125th Street or 145th Street. In fact, if you're waiting tat 34th Street and a B comes first, you might consider taking it. There is no guarantee that a D will follow shortly, and overtake both the B you skipped and the one in front of that. Unless it does so you have not gained anything by waiting for the D. I see no need for apology either.
