Revs Postmatch

With RJ at RB Harrison is brought into the game. It was so evident how the play shifted more evenly after RJ was brought on. If RJ and Iraola are starting I think we can do wonders out of the back. RJ is not a defensive liability, Hernandez is. Hernandez is shit. Vieira has to realize this. He does eventually switch the starters unlike Kreis but it takes him a fuckwhile to realize who is shit and who is less shit.

Mena had one of the worst games Ive ever seen. Like someone else said I think it was a really bad game for him plus the shitty turf and college football lines (so ridiculous btw. MLS 2.0 my ass)

Saunders is still shit but whatever.

I liked Mendoza but he cant pass to save his own life and he is more of a central guy but whatever.

I really came on here to post your first point, but you did a fantastic job at it. So I guess I don't have to say much more.

but why not rest them next week when we're playing out of conference?

He said during the week that he wanted to start resting guys with the playoffs looming. That probably explains Iraola. Matarrita's young enough that he's probably not a concern, while Chanot played midweek for country. It also probably explains why Villa, despite ineffectiveness, was pulled at 60'. If he's not doing much, might as well save his bullets. Pirlo and Lampard will probably get a day on the bench soon, too. It's all about the long-range forecast.

Because a head to head win vs Dallas pulls three pts back in supporters shield race. This is less important if we drop pts to inferior teams like NE. I'm not even sure the coaching staff always understands their decisions week to week.
 
OKAY PEOPLE!! Goodfella CCMore JCMore FootyLovin leilanikali420 Vaporizer ... I was there last night i'm not as depressed over the loss as am getting over seeing Andrea kinda happens when the Euphoria wears off!! They did the warm ups right in front of me . OMG !!! Guess What I Screamed His Name....He Looked Waved and Smiled! A Beautiful Moment ! Guess that's the Final Proof to the Pigeon Shits out there that think i would have done something stupid. Glad to be a disappointment to you! Now For The Game. No Tommy No Party ! That Hurt us ! David's Body is tired and needs a rest. But his eye's and spirit is as Always Batman !! Frank was MIA on the pitch! ANDREA well... the first half he was saving his energy, But He's Such a Smooth Criminal just going about his business like a Boss it's his world we just live in it ! But that Second Half he came out like a mad man ! I could see all his facial expressions through binoculars. He was there to Win too bad the rest of the team didn't get on board. Him and that Ref he was dogging had a thing going! I still want to know What The Hell Language he uses when he confronts them?? But He Was Pissed at the final whistle and walked directly off the pitch. But Stopped to sign autographs for a few people. Now my Problem is the group who come with the drums and the song support. YES I KNOW It was an Away Game. But they lacked the Support the Team needed from them in the second half, They should have let there voices be known how ever small !! The Team Needed Them more so since it was away!! But that second half they were as Deflated as a Tom Brady Football at Gillette Stadium. I was so happy to be there whatever the result cause i know the clocks ticking for My Andrea So i'm Grateful and More in Love Each Day!!

Most likely this loss means that top 2 is out of reach, TOR is basically now at home to finish the season and RBNJ is also stacked with home games.

0 wins, 2 ties and 3 losses on the road in the past 5 games. And I believe now NYCFC is no longer above .500 on the road. Toronto and RBNJ are winning on the road now.

Clear your calendar for the midweek playoff game, we're heading to Yankee Stadium.
I wanted to come back and revisit this. And yes, it may somewhat be hindsight being 20/20, but we all need to remember the schedules that Toronto, NJRB, Montreal, and Philly have remaining. We actually probably want Toronto to beat NJRB next weekend.

Just for fun, I took the remaining schedules for the 4 teams mentioned above and us and gave some game-by-game predictions. I think I was being somewhat conservative in my predictions, but wanted to track along the way.

My predictions had the following:

Toronto: 59
NYCFC: 55
NJRB: 54
Montreal: 53
Philly: 51

FWIW, based on the game predictions I made, here is the current "pace" I'm looking at:

Toronto: 59 (predicted they would beat Chicago)
NJRB: 54 (predicted they would draw at Vancouver, but also win against DCU, they own tiebreaker over us)
NYCFC: 54 (predicted win over DCU, but draw at NE)
Montreal: 51 (predicted win against Orlando, loss to Philly)
Philly: 46 (predicted win against Chicago and win against Montreal)

Philadelphia will hopefully help us out here. They have home and aways against NJRB still to go. Montreal still plays at NJRB, and Toronto gets NJRB at home. I know NJRB is good at home, but look at the rest of their schedule. Only the game against Columbus feels like a "should-win" for them to me.

@Toronto
Montreal
Philly
Columbus
@Philly

If anyone is interested, I can send you the simple excel doc I put together. I did consider making a thread on it a week ago and have more collaborative game by game predictions where we all tried to predict, but ultimately decided against it.

Yeah. You're reaching with the first answer. I have no illusion that played a role.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men, you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week.

Appreciate the explanation, as the leader of the #starterik charge I would never accuse you of defending Saunders. Not trying to be argumentative but it still seems a bit extreme, as it always is with Saunders. He went to his knees so early he looks like he thinks he's playing hockey.

Edit: If I was better at photoshop I'd give him pads, a helmet and and hockey stick.
Funny you mentioned hockey. Anytime anyone new that watches a game comments about how bad our goalie is, my best answer is "he'd make a decent hockey goalie because of his shot blocking and would be rooted in position. However this isn't hockey and there's a lot of space to cover so he absolutely sucks"

Beautifully written Angela. Very amused by all the binocular pics though. It seemed like all in good fun to me
