The first two goals were helped by horrible goalkeeping and horrible defending, respectively, and then after the red card it was game over.

Still a great win, obviously, and we looked very good throughout. Hoping to see us play like that again until the rest of the season. Especially encouraging to see pressing and speed in hot/humid weather on short rest.

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

P.S., my favorite moment might have been little Tolkin jumping in the middle of the brawling.

Reyes is looking pretty good is he not?


I thought so too. He looked like he read the game well and anticipated many situations and looked solid on the ball.. He has the speed.. Hopefully he can keep it up...

Same for everyone else... If they keep it simple and just try to replicate what they did last night I think they'll make the playoffs and fair well...

They don't have to be Barcelona of the Xavi Messi Iniesta days... They didn't do anything crazy.. They just were efficient and smart and played with lots of pace when defending...

It's not impossible for them to replicate this performance. I believe that they can

the Parker being better than Reyes debate should be put to bed now.  and frankly Reyes taking half a season to ramp up is not an issue.

Why not? We've lost many points due to bad defending, an up-to-speed guy sooner would've been crucial.

You can say it's inevitable/growing pains/to be expected, but "not an issue" is a bit odd.

Well in this case "ramping up" mostly meant getting over a hamstring injury. Struber was ready for him to roll by mid-May.

Are CB issues were a factor of our first 3 choices getting injured. Reyes could have been rolled out slower if Long hadnt gotten injured.

Anyone have an explanation for why they looked like a different team?

Shots on goal, instead of over it.

Miamis midfield + formation change to the 4-2-3-1.

Less long balls, more playing through the midfield, when they did go long there was better support to win the 2nd balls, Klimala has played better last few matches in new setup.

They also didnt drop into a defensive shell after the 1st goal like they did vs. Columbus.

Bigger test vs. City.

Roll back the same line up to start.  


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