#1387222 Lack of scoring

Posted by juberish on 28 July 2021 - 10:35 AM


Sorry, can't paste images because we pay for server space... Just use a third party host. Sorry.

 

lol I think the first time I offered you free hosting was like a decade ago, but cool cool  yeah

 

Davis is 99th percentile in interceptions, 92nd in tackles, 87th in blocks, 85th in clearances, 88th in progressive passes... He's doing his job. It's not to score, but some of his through balls have been fantastic.

 

Hell, he is 70th percentile in shot-creating actions.

Objectively, by all measurements, he's one of the best midfielders in the league and he counts as a homegrown, he deserves more love than he gets for sure




#1386753 NYCFC is owned by slavers

Posted by juberish on 20 July 2021 - 11:30 AM


 

1. I have little to no faith that a positive impact to RBNY's income statement, via rent collected, would change how they operate the club from a personnel standpoint. 

 

2. Do we even know for sure if this is impacting RBNY's income statement? Isn't the stadium technically owned by Hudson County? 

 

from wiki: "The Red Bulls will pay an annual rent of $1.3 million, escalated annually based on the Consumer Price Index, of which $1.115 million will go to the town of Harrison. The lease agreement will be in place through 2038, with team options through 2058. At the end of the lease term, ownership of the stadium will revert to the town. This agreement must be finalized by the end of 2016.[54]"

 

So long as we are the lease holder, any revenue from the venue is ours. 

 

Would be interesting to see what happens in 2038 and 2058 I guess....

#1385871 Let's remember Etienne

Posted by juberish on 30 June 2021 - 12:39 PM

 

I can't imagine Marsch literally told Etienne "don't you dare try anything interesting with the ball, just press". Marsch expected a lot out wingers defensively but they were a major part of our attacking game too, look at the numbers Grella and Sam put up in 2015. 

 

The context here, is that Marsch was favoring someone like Muyl over DE7 for minutes and not giving him all the opportunities he could to develop. So while he likely didn't outright say "dont be creative", he effectively made that case with squad selections and substitutions. Grella and Sam both came in as more mature players who were already developed and just had to adapt to a pressing system, not the same thing as a 19 year old kid coming out of the academy.

you can't just go ahead and tell one 20-year-old that he doesn't need to follow it so that he can individually flourish as a free-flowing creative attacker. 

 

I mean, this is what coaches, or any executive position, are paid to manage - if you're doing it right, you're juggling a bunch of shit and spinning plates at the same time. Its not like our gengenpress would have been broken by a little more attacking flair, its not like he wouldn't press still.

Omir is just getting minutes so we can max the GAM we get for him when traded to Chicago or wherever. Thelwell will make moves this summer window.


#1385105 FMR: Tyler Adams "linked" with Arsenal move

Posted by juberish on 10 June 2021 - 02:31 PM

as an Arsenal fan, I would love to see this happen - we haven't had a holding mid I've liked since Viera. 

 

As a USMNT fan, I just want him to be somewhere he's a starter.

Why dont we start Royer and then sub him off when he starts slowing down? I get the off-the-bench-super-sub-save-the-veteran's-legs thought but White and Fabio ain't doing it, wait for The Devil to play those 2 striker formations plz.

#1381674 Metro - KC Game Thread

Posted by juberish on 13 April 2021 - 02:51 PM

 

Good to know. I thought AT&T Live was the only one that carried MSG (that's what I have). Do you know which Fubo package carries it, i.e. is it their "Starter" package? Wondering if I can save some coin by switching. 

yeah starter level includes all the MSGs




#1381661 Metro - KC Game Thread

Posted by juberish on 13 April 2021 - 01:31 PM

Guys, I need help. I'm disappointed to have recently found out my cable provider, Comcast Xfinity is not offering the MLS Direct Kick package this year. I live in GA so don't have local broadcast. I didn't renew my ESPN+ subscription because they didn't have all these games (or NJ Devils) over the last year. Are there any other outlets that I can look into to watch all games this year? Thanks.

I subscribe to FuboTV because it has MSG and also tons of soccer channels




#1381563 What is the bar?

Posted by juberish on 12 April 2021 - 10:35 AM

 

my general expectation of success for any manager / GM combo of our team.  You are judged for requirements annually, and judged for preferences after you've been around for a couple years.  it's Strubers first year so i expect some growing pains but once he gets settled he has to produce.

Requirements

Playoffs Every Year

Winning Record at home

 

Preferences (need to accomplish at least 3 of these if you've been at the Club for some time)

Trophy obtained in last 3 seasons (shield, open cup, MLS Cup)

1200 minutes played by homegrown players (too fruitful of an area to not develop people)

Qualify for CCL in last 2 seasons

Host playoff game in most recent season

All "nice to have" objectives obtained

 

Nice to Have

Combined winning record against DC and NYCFC

Top five team in duels won in final third (sign of good pressing team)

Top 3 developer of USMNT players among MLS teams

Fill at least 2 DP slots (hate that i have to put this here)

 

... potential split thread here ... IMO anyone running the team rn has to come in knowing they have 3(2?) years to win a cup or they're out. Nothing else should matter besides getting a star on that shirt and I hope that Struber was brought in with those terms\intentions.

Frankie could be this team's Felipe, sans the Dark Arts. 

he's young, plenty of time to learn




#1363898 The Coronavirus Thread

Posted by juberish on 18 March 2020 - 09:06 AM

 

This part has has been debunked, WHO officials confirmed no outreach was made to provide tests to the USA since its standard for developed nations to create their own tests. Faulty first efforts from the CDC and some antiquated federal regulations preventing state and local agencies from beginning work on their own tests look like the main drivers behind our delays.

Thank you - good to know about the WHO tests (fuckin Biden...)

 

We still lost weeks to his disinformation campaign that was intended to try to boost the economy and prevent a bear market...
