worried about how we are going to look this game.

Parks is gassed after tonight. Morales looked the same in addition to a few others.

Add to that 3rd game in a busy week and the emotional toll of tonight's derby, are we gonna be able to get hyped enough and find the energy for this game?

We all know Philly is going to bring it hard for their fans as a redemption type game from last year's playoffs. This is feeling like a 2-0 loss right now.

Maybe we see Anton make an appearance? That could be a silverlining to what could end up being a very difficult game for us against a team who plays very similarly to RB.

There's only one thing I know about this game...

Win, lose, or draw, those mouthbreathing Philly fans are going to talk about how they would have won the Cup last year, they just knew it and felt it in their gut...

 
The lines have moved a bit over the past few days and now it's +155 PHI, +220 Draw, +160 NYC
 
I'm hoping Nick kept everything the same for a couple games just to let the team sort of process Ronny's departure. But we clearly need a tactical change. We've been solved.

according to nick himself... he doesn't want to change anything and doesn't need to change anything. at least until the season is over.

I'm aware of that. Hopefully he's changed his mind. The formula for beating us is pretty obvious now (it's also exactly how Philadelphia plays). If we keep it up we're going to be a team playing very attractive, but losing, football.

So, we'll see. But I have to be honest, I'll be very worried if we come out in a 4-2-3-1 again. Everyone knows they just have to pack the box and choke off any close-range attacks and then wait for an opportunity to counter. (It possibly would be okay if we took more mid- and long-range shots, but other than Keaton no one seems to do it.)
 
There isn't Video Review for today's LAFC-Red Bulls match because of communication issues between the Atlanta headquarters and the on field officials. Hope this doesn't also impact our match today.
