Harden needs to go away.
back to the team we know and love
winter is a bad coach
hand wave this away with some bull about 'our precious system', i won't read it
lolol 5-0
Get through Saturday's game, then 11 days for the injured to heal and the two new DPs to join.
Players tonight who showed some skill - Plata.
That is all.
men against boys.
ugly..not worth typing any more about it
Post game analysis:
Next!
Only thing you need to be a fan of this team is a ready supply of mind-altering substances. If you're not moshed by the 45th minute you're not doing it right.
schedule does not get much easier either. if winter does not make victory over two legs in the cl qualifier his priority then he must go. i have little confidence in him though.
I thought we played well.
Ha.
are funerals entertainment?
back to reality somewhat. Only solace I can think of is that it wasn't DeRo's boot on the other end of some of those Red Bull goals.
"Errr tis pity. If you watch the game, we gave away the goals".
Knife through Butter.
I wish I could say i was surprised but what can you expect playing basicly a B squad against the most firepower in the league.
the only thing thats keeping me going is that hopefully in two weeks time (barring more injuries) we will look more like this
---------------------Frei-----------------------
Eckersley---New Cb---Williams/Nana----Borman/Yourassowsky
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------De Guz-------------Tchani/Sturgis------------
----------------------Frings----------------------
-Soolsma---------Koevermans-------Plata
with both Santos and Gordon off the bench, instead of the crap we saw today
Amateur coaching from Winter...you can tell this is his first job.
The difference in class between those 2 teams was 4 divisions.
Embarrassing.
Says a lot that in the second half Eckersley, playing at centre half, felt he had to take the responsibility for making attacking runs from midfield.
time for some debbie downerisms.
Same old same old. Lame, clueless and from what i saw of the 2nd half it was mostly (i think 8) Winter's team. Perhaps we should play Vancouver every week. That was worse than the Philly game. How could it get worse than the Philly game?
I seriously think the only way that the new DPs are going to make a difference is if they tell Winter to FO and decide how to play themselves.
The system!
That is all.
If you were to hear this match up:
Harden, Gargan, Zavarise, Martina, Borman, Morgan, Stinson
VS
Henry, Rodgers, Mccarty, Lindpere, Ream, Agudelo
...5-0 isn't a shock, that squad tonight simply wasn't good enough.
Hats off to Plata though, busted his balls making runs in the second half with no help.
We came out pretty strong for the first 20-25 minutes, but then New York made adjustments and we didn't counter them at all. Once we gave up those two quick ones, it was over. Winter deserves blame in this one for not adjusting.
Hopefully Frings and Koevermans can make a splash when they start in a couple of weeks. Not much else to be said.

i thought Tchani looked scared today...i was really unimpressed with his effort, Sturgis did look a little better however.
not cutting any slack winter what so ever, his sub choices were baffling to me but is it poor tactics or a simple lack of football iq from the side? the only times we ever looked anywhere close to dangerous was when the play was going through plata, so why was the play going through the obviously out of shape Martina for 80% of the time we had the ball? god knows its probably both
