MLS - September 25 - Red Bulls (Home)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Used my last two flex tickets for this game and going to sit in 225 with my fiancée! Swore I’d never go to another HRD game after watching them get beat 2-1 in the first ever edition of the derby. But here the masochists goes again.
If we lose, you never go to any derby again!
Rotation decisions will be interesting for these two games. Do we try and go with Best XI lineups for both games? Do we continue to rotate? After the two Derbies, we've got a Wednesday game on the road at Chicago and then a crucial clash against Nashville at RBA.
Ronnie has not started with 3 in the back the last few games - preferring to rotate the 3 CBs. Callens got 19 minutes off the bench last game, and Chanot was the one who rested against Dallas. Do we break out all 3 of them for this game?
Tinnerholm had the last game off, and hopefully will be healthy tomorrow. Gudi has gone 90' and 84' in the last two.
Acevedo only had 6' off the bench in the last match after going 81' against Dallas. Meanwhile, Parks has gone 90' for 4 straight games. A. Morales went 84' last game after having to sit against Dallas.
Talles Magno rested last game after going 81 against Dallas mid-week. Thiago also sat last week after only 20' (and a red card) against Dallas. Meanwhile, Isi and Medina have each started the last two games. Castellanos played 90 last game after sitting out the previous. Maxi the machine has gone the full 90 the last two games.

This doesn’t answer your questions but it’s relevant:
If I'm remembering correctly, it seemed like Ronny was going to go with 3 at the back for the derby before it was postponed.
1 a Lampard vs Colorado
b Villa vs Redbull
C Mitrisa vs Atlanta?
D Taty vs Redbull
2 Villa and Taty
3 mitrisa
b Villa vs Redbull
C Mitrisa vs Atlanta?
D Taty vs Redbull
2 Villa and Taty
3 mitrisa
Gudi usually starts 2 in a row, then Amundsen starts 1, except for injuries or international duty. It's not absolute, and Gudi might play Wednesday, but I'd be very surprised if he starts both games this week.

The no -PK hat trick game was probably the most optimistic I have ever felt about the team.
In classic Gotham trivia fashion, I had forgotten about one hat trick, which was not in MLS play. Fantazma remembered that one, but incorrectly thought it had been without a penalty. JCMore and Lion got the MLS ones and the other questions correct.
Yup, I only thought about MLS games. The NYCFC player was the first in league history to score that hat trick in that non-MLS game.
