“if they keep playing like this they’ll be fine”…until another inevitable playoff fiasco. Got it.

Correct. No field player has now played every minute. Iron Man Medina has played 719 of a possible 720.I believe this was the first game that Taty has been subbed off this season.
I'm very interested in seeing what the defensive organization looked like and what issues were there. How much of it was New England playing well, how much of it was individual mistakes, or how much of it was just some unorganization in the back after not playing a back 4 much lately, long break, Sands at LCB, etc
To me they were all unrelated and not emblematic of any particular overall flaw.based on watching it at home, my opinion of the defensive lapses would be 30% unorganized 50% individual mistakes (lack of focus, ball watching mostly), and 20% Revs playing well.
I thought Sands had a poor game. Maybe it was due to his being at LCB, but i thought his positioning was fine. He seemed to lack focus and made silly mistakes that he normally just doesn't make. anton also wasn't on his A-game either though i wouldn't say it was a bad game for him.
1st goal - morales or parks just didn't challenge the ball and the biggest reason fault. neither of them were ready for a shot at that time and neither really attempted to block it when they realized a shot may be coming. also, it looked to me like johnson was relaxed and the reason why he wasn't able to save it. it wasn't far from him and if he was ready for it, i think he would have easily saved it.
2nd goal - unorganized. we had people marking nobody and one of the open revs scored on a free header.
3rd goal - mental lapse, tired legs? neither anton nor chanot made a true effort to challenge the cross. sands was slow in getting back in position to defend the cross.
Third - mostly the same analysis as you. Tinnerholm left the outside attacker unmarked to run to center and cover ... Chanot? Chanot overran the cross, Sands under ran the cross, Tommy was just right.
Yeah, on that third, it really was a wonderful ball by Gil to open it all up.On the third goal you have to give a lot of credit to Gil for the pass which basically cut off 3 defenders and sprung the Revs player to get the cross off. If Maxi hit that ball we’d all be gushing about it. But even with that NYCFC should have covered but both Chanot(?) and Sands timed it wrong.
The first goal was just weird how the ball popped in the air and Parks and Morales watched it like a pop fly. Neither of them challenged for it or expected Bou to volley it.
Second goal was what you never let happen on a corner - clear out and then turn right back over and volley back in. Nobody also challenged Gil on the cross.
Geez you have a short leash. It's been a single game since the international break. We played well. Andrade scored. It'll come together soon, I wouldn't be surprised if the ATL game will be a good place for it.Seems like we still need a dangerous player in front of goal. Which I have been saying since Heber got hurt.
I’m guessing our $12 million man didn’t finish chances either
It’s not directed at him. It’s just the process they want us to buy into. Pay 12 million for a guy that’s unpolished and then sell him for 17 million after he shows flashes finally in the Fall of 2022. Does nothing for usGeez you have a short leash.

I think what everyone is having issue with is you are saying this after essentially 1 game (not even 90 minutes worth) of a kid in a new country, new league, new team, coming back from injury. You have to give him some time to acclimate and get match fit. Having an immediate effect on a game as a brand new signing is fantastic to see, but it's also rare.
I'm sure you will be singing praises if those flashes in the fall of this year or next result in silverware.
of course I will. But haven’t they made clear the priority with his transfer was business related? I don’t give a shit about their business. I’m not a CFG fan. I need a guy that can score now.

It is a business plan to transfer him in the future. But if he doesn't perform here, I really doubt he's going anywhere. So, he'll have to perform if he wants to move on to europe, which means we'll get at least a season or two (not including this season) of solid Magno performances before the mothership swoops in. CFG or not, this is just how clubs are run now. It's pretty rare to see quality players staying at club for longer than a few years.

I don’t think a Talles Magno developmentally is at the same level as a guy like Almiron.
What other clubs are trying to do is get guys that would head to Holland or Portugal ahead of a bigger move. I want those guys.
