I have this one recorded and need to watch it when I get home tonight.

Montreal (Away) - Postmatch
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
We have the fewest losses in the Eastern conference.
Field was that way because of a ton of spring rains in Quebec. All I can say is...
Bless the rains

It was a great game. Herber had an off day but the rest of the team made up for it. Medina wasn't great but at least he didn't look like hot trash today. I think they are trying to up his resell value to sell him in the summer.
We played better than the field looked. Were the Maxi and Ofori subs expected/planned? Didn't look like they got too banged up on the plays before their respective exits.
Ben Sweat increased his play from skillessly apathetic to clumsily willful, but only just. Still, good news.
Medina looked a tad bit better, but at this point it's too little, too late.
Heber looks great and is just what our attack needed.
Important 3 points! But they all are.

10 from our last 12 is excellent after a slow start. Even on an off day, Heber is making a difference. Very excited for him come summer.
I’m slightly tempted to make the drive down to LA next week...

Ofori looked like an injury sub, thought the Maxi sub was just sparing an old man some unnecessary punishment.
I was at Disney lol.
But you’re not wrong either.
It’s a good thing we play in MLS. To be in 5th right now with a game in hand on teams ahead of us is crazy after how poor we started.

If we can keep up a run of accumulating points, that fact will come in very handy.
Solid match. I really liked how we looked in attack, and I'd praise the defending if it had been tested more.
Rocha played well! Sweat played well! What's happening?
0 SOG by Montreal today. They were tested -- they passed with flying colors.
We've really looked so much better the last 4-5 games. Really since the DC win it's like we turned the corner. We've been fun to watch for the first time since last July.
3-4-2-1 aka the Pretty Pigeon is really clicking right now and probably not even 100% baked yet.
Dude had some heavy duty strapping on his right leg. Is it possible to surmise what kind of issues he might have from the way he was strapped?
More writing soon, but the best thing from today was the Impact PA said “Ben Sweet” in a French accent.
Rocha in the midfield was good today. Wow. But why not Keaton Parks?

Sure, a pistol means fragile masculinity, a shotgun means a drinking problem, and a semiautomatic rifle means he's probably writing a manifesto.
I honestly think it was down to Rocha being left footed. Dome seems to really prefer a player who is able to use his dominant foot in a given position over a player who is of higher quality. That's why he put Rocha in for Callens a few games ago and Rocha in for Ofori today.
In Rocha's defense, he was generally pretty good today.
I thought Tinnerholm was terrific. All over the place and crucial in the buildup for both goals.
I thought Ring was a little off - seemed to have a lot of wayward passes, but still strong in defense.
Overall, we outworked a team that wasn't very good today - and probably isn't nearly as good as it's record indicates. Montreal is usually a lot better defensively, but perhaps our early goal softened them up for the rest of the game.
Ring has always been mediocre distributing the ball.
Having Sands behind him gives him the ability to not force a pass in the buildup. Chanot can’t distribute the ball like Sands. Puts more pressure on Ring then.
Shwafta yes. Winnable games end now. Let’s see what LAG do.

Those away games at two of the top three teams in the conference were "winnable" ex ante? Love the can-do spirit!
