Hoping for a win... Would be satisfied with a draw. If we lose the game, I just don't want us to get our asses handed to us like in previous years

I think the last two years we started in Seattle and then Vancouver and both we were not expected to win and If I remember correctly we won both.Originally Posted by portu
first two games of the year are basically preseason with starters, never a reflection on how the season will go.
You know, it's possible that Cheyrou is going to be used mostly as a super sub this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see the youth bombing up and down the wings this season.
i say a 3-1 loss.i think the last time we won on the road was june..yikes,hope im wrong.
On the way to New Jersey !!

Cros sing my fingers for a win, But will be happy for a draw. We never seem to play good over there in Jersey. I am hoping for at least 8 t0 10 points in this road trip.
anything more than 8 points would be extraordinary, statistically speaking. It's possible we could get more because the 8 teams we're playing aren't very good, but we shouldn't be mad if we get 7-8.
I agree.
Is anyone taking a road trip for this game?? May drive down with my girlfriend and wanted to know if there's a dedicated section for the TFC supporters?
The Red Bulls front office is ready for Sunday, are you?

Hey, that was my idea for transforming the tfc logo!On the way to New Jersey !!
I don't consider this a realistic prediction, but I'm going to say 2-2.
It's tough getting pts on the road at the best of times. But you never know.
Not just seen it on there.

I like this direction the club is taking.
That might be the most accurate predicted XI they've ever done
I have two main concerns with that lineup: Giovinco not getting enough touches on the ball when in the middle of a 4-3-3, and Bradley being wasted at best as a deep lying playmaker and at worst being over-aggressive and leaving the back line exposed.
I thought Moor played on the right?
BTW, love that pic of Irwin - he looks like he wants to get down to business.
No I'm pretty sure they've been adamant on having him play on the left especially given that he spent a lot of time last year at left back
Here is the match preview from Empire of Soccer. Fishkin sees 2-1 RBNY result. Could be a close game.

Lol he referred to WJ as a "winger" I'm not putting much stock in this
1. I can see Seba playing more as a false 9, the 433 can allow more touches for the CF than the 4231 we saw last year.
2. I imagine that the projected lineup is inaccurate and that Cheyrou will continue in the role he was given last year.
it means the wide forwards has to push up very high to allow Giovinco to play false nine so that Giovinco can get the ball to run at defenders. it also means the the fullbacks have to be more conservative to ensure TFC doesn't get punished on the counter defensively. don't expect much defensive help from the wide forwards.
NYRB has one thing TFC doesn't have. Team chemistry and likely they will play same starting 11 as last year. Only significant loss is CB Matt Miazga to Chelsea, and if it's Zubar partnering Perrinelle, TFC can hurt NYRB. but I think Jesse Marsch will figure out.
We've sucked so much away against NYRB and I don't expect that to change. Esp with NYRB's high press, and a TFC midfield that hasn't found rhythm and turns the ball over a lot.

The way you beat a high press is with speed on the outside. That's what Columbus did during the playoffs. We could get that from Lovitz and Endoh on the outside of a 4-3-3 but I doubt we'd start Lovitz up there.
I noted that when NYRB came to us in October, for some reason they didn't press.
Most likely NYRB will bung up our middle and that will be that.
Anyone hear anything about the showing at Atlantis tomorrow?
Except we don't have much speed in our starting 11... Vanney's switch to 4-3-3 suggests he's expecting the midfield to cover a lot of ground and fullbacks will keep getting aggressively pushed up while somehow maintaining possession.
I know the kinks haven't been worked out yet and the midfield is still a chaos with slow Cheyrou in the middle. Love Cheyrou's passing ability. But in 4-3-3, you need your 3 midfielders to be able to cover a lot of ground and Cheyrou is a liability in that regard. Johnson and Bradley have good engines, but they aren't exactly disciplined positionally either.
We have a fighting chance if we pot the first goal. If NYRB gets the first goal, we are screwed. Everyone will be far too aggressive pushing up and NYRB counters for 2nd goal.

Seba and Osorio like to play off each other. Seba will be drift to the left to create space for himself at will.
Once Altidore is healthy:
Giovinco-Altidore-Osorio
Red bulls will more than likely go with 4-2-3-1 which they will basically own the midfield. Service to our forwards is going to be limited and i expect 3 players on Seba's back the entire game. I don't have much confidence in our back line only because it's the beginning and they haven't had much time to bond, although if the D puts on a solid performance, we have a good shot at 3 points.
