I don't think this needed it's own thread. It's interesting, but there isn't there a stat thread somewhere?
Thread Police, arrest this man. He talks in maths. He buzzes like a fridge.Is there a blanket stats thread? I can make an excel chart projecting goals predicted to be scored by the last match for all teams in contention if that's what it takes to make this a "legit" thread.
And all of that talk of the RB losses being just 1of34 is coming back to bite us now that we're tied but losing the tiebreaker

I love the pigeons moniker
Because they deemed the connotation of a pigeon was worse than a rat! Focus group research already done!And Staten Island's minor league baseball team didn't use in in the end. They went with Pizza Rats!
Imagine what we could do with a more cohesive back line, and a better goalie. #sellmixandmenatogetabettergoalkeeper (p.s. Can hashtags get too long?)
Anyone know of a stand alone goalkeeper that could be a free transfer this offseasons?
1v1 skills only get you so far when 1v1 becomes 1v0 because you are chasing butterflies 20 yards away.You don't to sell Mix and Mena to get a better keeper.
I still support Mena and think he's good 1v1. I don't think up to speed yet on the pace that we play with especially in terms of the decision making that goes along with it.
I get what your saying, but here is my two cents (for what they're worth).You don't to sell Mix and Mena to get a better keeper.

I think he moreso means that you don't need to get rid of both of those guys to find a good goalkeeper in MLS. Look at the salaries goalkeepers are making around the league:I get what your saying, but here is my two cents (for what they're worth).
Mena is the third option now. Now while between him and Hernandez, he's the better option (debatably), Mena isn't an American, which holds value in itself when you have to trade for international spots. If we traded/sold him we would still have two competent back ups, and would free up some cap space.
Now for Mix. We all love him. Some of us are ripping out our hair that he isn't playing, I miss watching him play,but he is so deep into the dog house that some people have forgotten that he is even on the team. I wish that Viera would play him. I wish that he could return to form, and make a solid comeback to the national team. The truth is that Viera, besides all the odds at the beginning of the season, had this team in first place in the east for a majority of the season, has gained us our first entry into the playoffs, has us fighting for one of the top spots in those playoffs, and even had us dreaming of winning the supporters shield. He did all of this while Mix was barely even a bench player, and it doesn't look like he needs him. Now I know that you care for him LionNYC, like I do but at this point I think that we should do a Mullins/Poku type trade, where we find a much better fit for him and we come out a stronger team for it.
You have those two players off the books, along with possibly Saunders, and we'd have enough cap space to find us a better goal keeper that could hopefully single handily bring our goals against down.
P.s. I didn't mean to be so long winded; I hope that you don't view it as an attack, just an opinion; and if you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them.
