Johnson was horrendous. Game should have been 5-1 at worst. He faced 5 shots - none of them particularly high probability - and made just 1 save. If he was half as good as Bono he has a shutout. At one point our defense went 50 minutes during which Toronto managed zero shots. I don't think I've ever seen Johnson have a worse game, and our defense was solid.
I thought we were pretty good defensively until the late subs, especially considering who we were missing. Ronny may need to rethink using Gloster again, though. He was a wreck the last 10 minutes.
I don't think he's been at his best at all this year, at any point. Not really sure what's going on. Could be just the years catching up a little.
He's been mixed this year. Last year he started very poorly then had a strong second half and even better playoffs. He's capable of greatness but also highly variable.
Rony loves Gloster. He thinks he’s exceptionally talented.
I'm sure he's right. But from what I've seen of Gloster so far his quality hasn't risen to the level his talent would suggest. He's kind of the opposite of Tayvon Gray, who seems to get everything out of himself.
Didn’t look like much and compared to the raised arms and linebacker type hit on Thiago earlier in the match that second yellow seems absolutely ridiculous.
it was a bs yellow from my point of view. it wasn't a tactical foul and it wasn't endangering the opponent's safety. not every foul is a yellow and in this case, i didn't even think it was a foul. i saw 2 guys fighting for the ball and they were both wrestling each other equal amounts. ref got that wrong imo.
mgarbowski as I just couldn't bring myself to spend maybe $35 on a Polar Burger, fries, and a soda. Just couldn't do it. Shake Shake instead, for the discount price of around $20.
Not for nothin', but . . .Just got home. My humble opinion is that we should play all our matches at Citi Field until we get a stadium of our own. Probably our largest crowd in years, and the place was rocking for the whole match.

As much as I hate to say it, Something about Citifield felt better than YS today. It’s significantly farther from me than YS and I’d rather a stadium be built in the Bronx but if it gives the team better support… guess I’ll have to move.
