What formation did Armas typically deploy with NYRB?

I miss Tim Liewicki. Harry Potter too.
4-2-3-1
They play a high-press, quick recovery system like RB Salzburg.
The idea is to use speed to keep the ball in the offensive end as much as possible, then swarm coverage of the ball quickly when its lost to try and force quick turnovers.
It's most effective against teams like us, who build from the back. It doesn't really fit our current roster.
Disappointed, underwhelmed & nervous about the future direction.
Leach makes a good point

Thats where I am at. I wish him well, and I very much look forward to the development of Ralph Priso - but we don't have a front office that gives confidence they can find or recruit a Seba, and I expect MLSE has told them not to go that direction anyway. My prediction is that we will loose a couple of key players and bring in a striker/winger with experience and pace. I am rooting for Jozy to arrive fit and enthusiastic, but if not he will be gone. Ali's comments the other day implied this.
This is a perfect meat shield appointment for Manning. If things don’t work out he gets to fire Ali and Armas.
I am no fan of this hire but I will withhold judgement. I started and kept the sack Vanney thread going for 18 months only to be proven wrong big time so I will give Armas a solid half season before I start the sack Armas thread.
hahahahaha. Generous! The season might even be started by then.
Obviously we know nothing. He does have an excellent playing pedigree and the American players are likely to respect him. tough to come into a situation like this - Vanney has it much easier coming into a team on a downturn - but if can get Jozy going it will hide a multitude of sins.

Kinda sounds like KJ is greasing the excuse machine for the FO already 😂

Interview with Jesse Marsch about Armas.
Two other bits of interest from the KJ discussions
a) They interviewed Vincenzo Montello
b) small throw away line about Altidore "if he stays here" then moved onto other things - not going to put too much into that but fairly certain that means there have been feelers if nothing else
**********
One thing that has been discussed is the team needs to play quicker & Armas might do that. I'm not sold on Curtis getting the players to do that.

Manning, Ali, and Armas are all chrome domes. Coincidence?
Seriously, it’s underwhelming but i can’t blame them. The way this season is trending, what well respected name would sign on to this? Might as well stick to a known entity who has something to prove and won’t break the bank. Was the length of the contract mentioned?
So, how long until #armasout trends? 10 games? Five games? Three games?
So let me gather some information we decide garbage from other clubs is a better way, what happened to Tim Leiweke, Tim Bezbatchenko, and Greg Vanney, to deciding to replace our spots with people who have been fired for not performing their goals adequately, its going to be another 10 yrs before we get our next playoffs, and at this rate might as well go back to the Mo Johnston way, because their is no pride in the signings but rather be buddy buddy or be content with picking up scraps, I wasnt happy with the rushed signing of Ali Curtis and certainly not content for rushing to sign a NYRB reject in Armas

Bradley interview about Armas
I don't know why virtually everyone is assuming we're going to press now considering his legacy in NY is moving away from the press the team was specifically built for
I don't really have anything else to add. I hope this works out but I'll be surprised if he lasts a year

It’s never been said but they definitely got the star treatment. Seba throwing a bitch fit when being subbed with 2 goals and Jozy getting carded for ridiculous reasons (like talking shit to the ref while on the bench) are examples that come to mind. Can’t imagine any other players getting away with those things or having the balls to do them in the first place.
