Red Bulls - Postmatch
- Thread starter Falastur
- Start date
Sorry, I wasn't completely clear. I was comparing RBNY's press yesterday to how it has worked in the past, not to Dallas's press. It seemed they started deeper, which made it harder for us to go over the top, and then would just collapse on Villa or whoever was in the center. In the past they worked harder to block passing lanes to the midfield line.
Ofori and Ibeagha looked great. They we’re both calm with the ball and made great turns out of pressure and dribbled up the field on numerous occasions. Might see Herrera sit the next one out. Would also assume Villa or Berget sit for Shradi. Will be an interesting 11

Video, please. I checked the Spotify EDM charts for a soundtrack suggestion and it looks like Avicii tributes are in.
NYCFC staff took at least one of these beer-throwers to the side and documented his info. Not sure what will be done about it, but at least they were somewhat monitoring the situation.
The There Will Be Blood soundtrack feels more appropriate.

It’s the eerie repetitive sound of a record player’s needle rubbing the inside artwork sticker of a 45 and nobody takes the time to reset it.
Bobby Warshaw's Week...
Which team does this week matter more to?
Warshaw: Neither, it's just week 10.
Warshaw's Stock Up: When you beat your rival 4-0 in a derby, you can call the city yours.
Warshwa's Stock Down: Maxime Chanot.
Maxime Chanot had a bad game, but I wonder if he's put stock down on the American CBs of Red Bulls if we won 4-0 and one was pulled at halftime. Warshaw has said you need American CBs to win MLS Cup. Which is a completely idiotic.

Fuck the T-Shirts and throwing the shirts onto the pitch all came late right? I wouldn't know because I packed it in and left super early. Bad fan? I say smart fan. I didn't sit in that god forsaken lot or much traffic on GWB.
Anyway, losing 3-0 or 4-0 and then throwing anything on the field is stupid. Makes us look like sore loser children. HOWEVA, throwing the t-shirts before the game started during the massive Fuck the Red Bulls chant when we owned the building was hilarious and well-deserved by those idiots for putting t-shirts on the seats instead of handing them out at the gates. Do they not realized we bring well over 1,000 people, not just the 500 supporter seats?
Yeah, I was in the Supporters Section, and in the second half is when the t-shirts starting getting launched down below and onto the field followed by cheers when they made it onto the pitch and the "Fuck your t-shirts" chant. I didn't see any beers get launched down below, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if that was happening.
I'm usually pretty stubborn in that I will not leave a match I'm attending (for any of my teams) until it's over, no matter how the game is turning out. But I could not stand to be in the Supporters Section Saturday as we were behaving that way, so peaced out with around 10 minutes to go.
As we finally made our way down the stairs, there were some young Red Bulls staff handing out these summer camp card things and some dickhead slapped a whole stack of them out of this guys' hands. Me and my buddy approached him and yelled at him to stopping being such a fuckup to which his response was "Wanna take this outside", to which he did not follow through with.
my takes:
stupid idea on having shirts on every seat. no matter what it they were going to be thrown down from any nycfc supporter in almost any section. I was not even in supporters and they were being thrown around me. this happened even during warmups and kickoff. scuffles happened for sure parts of game.
train ride home was calm....expected more chanting etc
on for the game: did PV put everyone under the bus? i mean my thing is that team has shown before that in important games ( playoffs) they have no intensity like they are just there and saturday felt like one of those games. does PV not rile them up ? like it almost felt they were mentally in pre season mode. terrible passes and anticipations etc. i feel like PV has to make it a point to go out and win this. Felt like the first leg vs columbus.
this is an important point now....if he makes big changes like stripping villa of captain band ( i doubt it) or completely change lineup and keep losing etc....he loses the locker room and its over.

I'd personally take the band from him and give it to Ring. Things change and rearrange.
I got dragged to a Cinco de Mayo bar crawl and when I saw the score was 2-0 at the 4 minute mark it made it a lot easier to drown myself in tequila
This is likely Villa’s last year so there will be a new captain in 2019. Big question is what would this do to the player (Villa) and the locker room??? Would it piss Villa off so much that he goes into a pouting funk, or would it free him of the burden? Would the locker room be split with some angry about the change or would they galvanize around the likely 2019 captain that’s being tapped up early? If nothing is done, is there a faction in the locker room that doesn’t see Villa as always leading, and becomes less cohesive because of a lack of action by PV?
Lots of issues for PV to think about. I don’t think PV will make a change - whether right or wrong - but whatever decision is made, it better address the fracturing of the club we saw on Saturday, which didn’t seem like a new phenomenon but rather emotions that have been previously engaged/ongoing while not on public display.
eventually perhaps yes ( or chanot)....but thats the tricky part...you do this now, after result like this then i feel it will send wrong message to those players with villa thru and thru and may break locker room and whole year is ruined ( any maybe PV out as well if results are bad).
as someone else said in twitter....that would be very Kreis like to do this now.
