#1444580 Metro - Orlando Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 23 March 2024 - 11:46 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Coronel
Duncan-SNealis-Eile-Tolkin
Stroud-Amaya
Forsberg-Carmona
Vanzeir-Morgan

I think Wiki earned another start while Gjengaar was average, at best. Wasn't making the right decisions on or off the ball. Struggled defensively. Hope it's just getting acclimated to the team.

Cant see Carmona on the right, assume it will be Gjengaar with Forsberg plugged into Carmonas spot. Tolkin and Eile return, if Duncan has another stinker at RB I would be tempted to play Nealis there. Incredibly strangely Duncan has looked much better at LB this season.



#1444361 USA Post-World Cup Thread

Wonder if we could afford Haji Wright


Hes not leaving Europe. Better chance at Hoppe lol



#1444322 No MLS in 2024 Open Cup

Posted by TK_RBNY on 20 March 2024 - 06:18 PM in MetroFanatic.com

The loan requirement is fugazi. Chicago loaned down Barlow and Koutsias and I figure they will still be available for their next MLS match. More likely RBNY didnt want to take any chances with all the absences this weekend.



#1444191 Metro - Columbus Game Thread

Duncan is awful, Stroud is not a RW and honestly isnt even that good in his natural position.

Really need another CM and just let Dylan play RB for now. Mina looks like he was a miss and RB is still a big issue.



#1444111 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

MLS needs an entire rethink with how they do roster pages and transparency. Its pathetic for a league that is growing to operate with so little accuracy.



#1444048 Metro - Columbus Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 12 March 2024 - 11:41 AM in MetroFanatic.com

hope its 4-2-2-2 with Vanzeir up top next to Manoel.    Not a fan of him on the wing.


Yeah if hes playing the 4-2-3-1 wont work



#1444013 Is Vanzeir a bust?

Posted by TK_RBNY on 10 March 2024 - 05:12 PM in MetroFanatic.com

i have zero concern about Dante as a good finisher in MLS but I dont know if his body can handle playing in a system as intense as ours.  lots of little injuries, and generally looks to run out of gas after 60 mins a lot.  I worry for him that Morgan and Manoel will become the front 2 if Gjengaar is good.


I hope a strong start doesnt deter the team from looking for that YDP striker that has been rumored. Its definitely an area that could use another body and some quality.



#1443972 Metro - Dallas Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 10 March 2024 - 09:34 AM in MetroFanatic.com

Manoel has good moments but still struggles at doing striker stuff. Was at the match and Schwarz was not happy with his play in the 2nd half gesturing to him to make runs multiple times. Burke was solid in his cameo which was a nice surprise, hes still only a super sub/spot starter for me. Im sure Sandro is going to push for that striker signing that is being rumored.



#1443870 Metro - Dallas Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 08 March 2024 - 08:59 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Might shift to the 4-2-3-1 if no Vanzeir. Maybe Harper starts at RW, probably too soon for Gjengaar.



#1443835 Metro - Dallas Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 06 March 2024 - 05:55 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Would be nice if we had a sellout for the opener, I'm not counting on it, but it would be nice.  


Doubtful especially because of the weather



#1443783 Cameron Harper's year to prove

Posted by TK_RBNY on 04 March 2024 - 09:29 PM in MetroFanatic.com

It makes me wonder that in his contract year, they bought a younger player who plays his position...


Seemed obvious to me. Squad is already a bit redundant in some places. Carmona is another one that is in the last year of his contract and hasnt showed much.



#1443714 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 03 March 2024 - 03:15 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Why didn't Forsberg get a secondary assist on the Manoel goal?


Did the league stop counting them?



#1443679 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 03 March 2024 - 01:13 AM in MetroFanatic.com

I think the biggest issue with the midfield is there is no one to push these guys. Edelman and Amaya are the only options other than Stroud who is now injured. Donkor? Estrella? Heck using the short term loan agreement for Sserwadda might be on the table at some point this season.

Mina and Donkor need to justify their position on the senior roster. Mina is playing with the 2s in preseason and Donkor is an unused sub.



#1443667 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 02 March 2024 - 11:17 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Vanzier looked like he was not in to playing emergency RW.... I want him to do well (for us/for him), but the combination of his lack of speed, seeming lack of stamina, and lack of lethal-ness makes me worried... he seems like an awesome player in a lower league.... Lets see if he shows up moving forward 



I have the same concerns. Hes not a fit in the 4-2-3-1 that Sandro switched to in the 2nd half so not surprising he was subbed off. Unfortunately I dont know what his fit is on this roster.



#1443502 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 02 March 2024 - 06:45 PM in MetroFanatic.com

No Mina = Duncan or Tolkin can start?


He wasnt there last week either. Hes not in the first team picture, even in an emergency apparently.



#1443491 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 02 March 2024 - 04:43 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Question: Do STH's still have access to comp tickets for each match?


They havent announced yet, but Im hoping so. Didnt get to use them last year but hoping to get to some matches this year.



#1443442 Ngoma hurt again

Posted by TK_RBNY on 01 March 2024 - 09:56 AM in MetroFanatic.com

Last year, I believe they were saying they were teaching him a new way to run? Very odd.  
 
I hate to see a kid so young get sidelined with injuries. Lets hope the 2 weeks is a real number. 


The longer this goes on its more likely it is a chronic issue. If some minutes in preseason caused an injury reoccurrence that is an incredibly bad sign.

Sean Nealis to LB maybe he's had a cultured left foot all along and we just never believed in him enough to use it


Im going to have a nightmare about this tonight.



#1443427 18 year old CB Jair Collahuazo?

Posted by TK_RBNY on 29 February 2024 - 06:13 PM in MetroFanatic.com

For RB2 if there was any doubt

Hall should be playing with the 2nd team. Lets not act like hes some sort of solution for the 1st team at this point. Let him destroy MLSNP and earn it.



#1443387 18 year old CB Jair Collahuazo?

Posted by TK_RBNY on 28 February 2024 - 05:27 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Dont think its for the first team, but who knows. Kid has barely played a first team game for Emelec. RB2 just grabbed a bunch of open international slots, makes more sense to see if he can hack it there before signing him permanently.



#1443379 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 28 February 2024 - 11:39 AM in MetroFanatic.com

So collecting international spots like Pokémon because they havent done any moves. Unless ownership is preparing for the summer window.


This is for the 2 team



#1443369 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 28 February 2024 - 08:39 AM in MetroFanatic.com

You think Morgan ready to start? I figured it'd be couple more weeks with he as super sub then see how he's feeling?


I was surprised he was good for 30 minutes, maybe not ready to start but closer than I would have thought



#1443361 Metro - Houston Game Thread

Posted by TK_RBNY on 27 February 2024 - 06:11 PM in MetroFanatic.com

I know the team would like you to believe that Harper is actually healthy, but I remain skeptical due to him having missed the entirety of preseason.



#1443304 Dennis Gjengaar signed

Posted by TK_RBNY on 26 February 2024 - 05:37 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Gjengaar is most likely in between Mina level and Eile level. Still with the injuries and lack of depth at RW/RAM I wouldnt hate seeing him over Stroud or Wiki when he gets up to speed. At least hes more natural to that position. This all depends on Morgans health and if hes moved further up the field to striker.
