A few thoughts from this match:
1. This team has no identity. It’s like they won against RBNJ with long balls and now any team that might press - long ball city. The Revs came in to play defense and this made the game easy for them, play balls in the air and defend. It’s like the team has no idea how to play.
2. Castellanos has to finish that chance in the first ten minutes. He had time to take a sip of coffee in alone with the keeper. That early goal kills a team who came in to bunker and play for a point (which the Revs did). I thought Taty had poor decision making. He should have been subbed out for Lewis, not Amagat.
3. Speaking of Amagat, I’m done. The team got worse after he came on and the Revs scored. And then, since Dome fucked up that sub, he then fucked it up even more by taking it Sands who was controlling the midfield. Game was over then. Amagat is an example of coach goggles - he hasn’t played for months before coming here. Come on.
4. I hate to say it, but Villa had a quiet match, was too cute. Barcelona Villa has 2 goals at least tonight. I hope that this is just his usual taking a few games to get back in shape but fear that this is the end.
5. And finally, fuck not having a stadium and working around the Yankee schedule. NYCFC’s “quirky” schedule is costing them points - I feel like the guy in Clerks saying “I’m not even supposed to be here!” - the team isn’t supposed to be playing in an international break. All these 3 games in seven days and then 13 days off fucks with their chemistry. Oh, and if everybody gets healthy, guess what? They have 20 days with no games in October right before the playoffs! The schedule is costing them results. Enough already.
This team is done, folks. Clear your calendar for Halloween and Nov 1. They are playing a game one of those nights where they will inevitably lose to the Union or Montreal or some crap team.
Also, speaking of form, NYCFC is probably the sixth best team in the East: ATL, RB, CLB, PHI, DCU all better. Season is done, you can see that the players don’t know what to do.
