This video explains the tactics Jesse Marsch will most likely employ this season due to the player acquisition in the offseason.  It's based on the parent club RB Leipzig but just plug in New York and you're there.  He tried this formation last year but had to abandon it due to personnel.  Enjoy!!!!

 

I'm excited!!!!

Interesting, I always enjoy tactical breakdowns thanks. The way they explained Naby Keitas role made me wonder if Tyler might play that role this season.

I'm kind of scared of the 4-2-2-2... If we do that again, this will be the 3rd year in a row we've tried that formation in camp and the beginning of the season.  The last two seasons have started extremely poorly.  Sacha's lack of mobility hurt big time, but I also think BWP is just much better as a single striker.  He's not a great passer of the ball and is more of just being a great finisher.

Interesting how this year, due to fixture congestion, RBL is playing more of a flat 4-4-2 this season because it's easier on the legs.

 

I think we're going to see a two-forward setup (4-2-2-2/4-4-2), at least to start the season.  The main reason it hadn't worked in prior seasons is because of the players we had in midfield, not because of BWP.  I think BWP's holdup play and passing is good enough to play with a second forward; my bigger concern is can he keep up given his age.

 

Adams seems perfectly suited to play the Keita role.  I'm eally excite to see him get a chance to be a bigger part of the team by defining more of the attack.  Unfortunately, this could be an audition to maybe replace Keita (or be Keita's replacement's backup) when Keita moves to Liverpool over the summer...

 

                      Rivas     BWP

              Royer                     Kaku

                     Felipe     Adams

Lawrence     Long     Collin/Redding     Murillo

 

Keita, Davis first two off the bench.

 

I'm pretty happy going into the season with this.  Especially, knowing that Marsch will course correct if the 4-2-2-2 doesn't work and play a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.

Just think of it as 4-4-2 on caffeine & taurine.

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

Well, either way we should have a good idea when we see the formations in preseason.

I also don't think it would be out of the question (if Rivas development is slower than expect) for Royer to play next to Bradley with Keita or someone else then sliding into the midfield.  Part of the reason we switched to 3-3-3-1 was to get Danny more central so he can be in more dangerous spots to score.  But what do I know

Agreed.  Outside of Sacha, that formation helped Royer the most.  

 

But I think if Rivas isn't the guy starting next to BWP, I think they like Keita farther up the field.
