CCJ hopefully glued to the bench after his recent performance vs. CLB.

Morgan and Luquinhas behind Klimala and Fletcher. 4-triple 2. Get Dylan Nealis off the field.

Joined March 5th.  Newbie? Sock puppet? 🤷


O-sack is back?

Tbh we should be thankful Leipzig bought Clark and the team got full allocation value. Hes young, but looks like more of a product of the US Soccer hype machine than anything else.

Still run too much offense through the RWB spot in the 3-4-2-1, and its more glaring when someone like Nealis isnt getting the job done.

Tolkin is also pretty hesitant to overlap on the opposite side of the field as well, whenever the opportunity presents itself.

I dont understand playing the 3/5 and pigeonholing D. Nealis onto the field. Dont buy the excuse of not having 2 viable strikers to go to the 4-2-2-2, when he was comfortable enough playing both Klimala and Barlow in Toronto.

The quality of competition has to be considered but that has been the best the attack has looked through 4 matches. Pumping long aerial balls to Klimala vs. 2 aerially dominant CBs doesnt make any sense.

RBNY arent going to go against their identity to pander to casuals who will stop showing up when Greizmann, etc. are no longer on the team.

Sure you might be able to capture some of those fans and turn them into long term Red Members, but that has already been tried before during the Henry, Cahill, Marquez era.

Im not sure what the answers are, or if there are any answers to fix the attendance.

They could certainly market the team better, and not behave like such a podunk operation on the business side. But with deGrandpre at the helm Im not sure anything is going to get any better.

My experience at the arena will not be boosted by being surrounded by casuals and Eurosnobs who have little to no interest in MLS or RBNY.

Luquinhas for 60 minutes and then replace him with Clark


Omir should be ahead of Clark.

"He's here and he's perfect"

Is that supposed to mean he's ready to play?


Hes training, I take that as a good sign. Doesnt need to acclimate, but probably needs a little time to get fit because of his recent injury.


#1402593 Lineup, as it stands

Posted by TK_RBNY on 28 February 2022 - 12:59 PM

I would hate having to play Morgan at RWB, maybe he could take more liberties with a stronger trio of Long, Nealis, Edwards, but wouldnt be my first choice.

Reyes was brought along slowly at the beginning of last season so that might be a good analog with how Struber is handling Monzon, but Lucas has had the 2nd half of last season and an entire offseason with the team.


#1401897 Ashley Fletcher no longer a rumour

Posted by TK_RBNY on 24 February 2022 - 08:20 PM

OaM reports that deal is waiting on league approval, otherwise it is complete.

Fletchers most recent IG follow is a NYC real estate agent


#1401709 First Struber press conference of 2022

Posted by TK_RBNY on 23 February 2022 - 04:12 PM

So Struber has already baked in some tired excuses before the season even starts.

Young.
Rebuilding (the rebuild...lol)
Didn't get enough in the transfer window.
Need to get back to basics.


Are they excuses if they are true? If he was content with riding the wave to mediocrity he didnt have to say what he said about his squad. If Thelwell isnt going to face questions Struber is well within his right to lay down the gauntlet.

Posted by TK_RBNY on 23 February 2022 - 02:38 PM

Struber said today that Zach's not ready for the first team


Hell just take up a bench spot but wont play. Plenty of openings with only 16 available field players.


#1401661 First Struber press conference of 2022

Posted by TK_RBNY on 23 February 2022 - 01:18 PM

Was there any update on Carmona or Pendant? Pendant off season buyout period ends tomorrow.

Who are the 16 available field players?

1. Long
2. Monzon
3. D. Nealis
4. S. Nealis
5. Tolkin
6. Amaya
7. CCJ
8. Clark
9. Edelman
10. Fernandez
11. Harper
12. Morgan
13. Ngoma
14. Yearwood
15. Barlow
16. Klimala
17. Ryan
18. Sowe

Missing: Edwards, Pendant, Reyes, Carmona?, Castellano, Estrela, and Luquinhas

Thinking two of Ngoma, Ryan and Sowe are outside consideration.


Sowe and Harper are reportedly with the 2s
