I bet Cahill ends up in the Metro hall of fame by the time he is done with this team.

Been in the MLS 8 yrs, this is the deepest team Ive ever been on. Doesnt matter who plays, everyone does their job. Feels pretty good. #RBNY

It helps when you have a coach who pays attention to all of the players, so they know how to fit the system.

It seriously feels like anyone on the field can score. Do we lead the league in total individual goal scorers? It feels like it.

I wonder if I invite Cahill, Roxburgh, Petke, Dax, Fraser, Robles, and Olave to a pasta party, will they show up?

Just bring orange slices down to the lockeroom at halftime next Sunday; I'm sure they'll let you in.

He's been their best player obviously but the new DP forward they acquired, Anangono, has looked pretty good. Him and Magee have formed a good partnership. Their other new signing Rios has also contributed.

 

They still have guys like Rolfe and Lindpere and even Dilly Duka has had a good season for them.

 

I believe Larentowicz is suspended for this game due to yellow card accumulation so that should hurt them.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

We've got 7 guys with 4 or more goals.   Chicago has 4; one with 14, and the next three guys don't have that many combined.  Chivas?  Really?  I won't even bother checking if anyone beats that - its solid.

The RBNY v. CHI match is missing from the schedule scroll across the front page of MLSsoccer.com. I'm not sure how to take this.

What do you do about the back four if Carney and/or Miller are available?  I know that the Houston game featured two guys out of position and it was the first start together for that group, but they put in a really impressive performance, espeically considering the circumstances.  Do you trot out the same alignment, or go back to a more traditional Miller/Carney - Olave - Hulk - Barklage/Kimura?

 

FWIW, I think the four who played against Houston might be our four best defenders, regardless of position.

Keep it the same, but put Carney in for Barklage.

Kept it the same. They had a great game together. That being said if they put in Carney I'm quite okay with it.

Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.
