The one where we went on the road and dugout a result

1: Take everything you know about football and throw it in the trash when you’re being taken out to the ball game. For the first 20 minutes we looked like we couldn’t get adjusted to the play pen. Things just happen faster at Yankee standup. Counter attacks that normally wouldn’t be on for the opposition are here. We got a little more comfortable from 20-35 but then Alan Franco gets caught on an offside call. Take nothing away from the pass to Casty. It’s perfect but Alan has to play to the whistle and not be raising his hand for a call. 

 

2: I don’t know how the players are doing this. They know they’re good. They know the team has talent and there have been games where we played well enough, often times even better than the other team, and we just can’t get W’s. It feels like if you were to run a marathon whilst having a rope around your waist pulling a sled that’s loaded with another sled. 

 

3: It’s a great equalizer at 1-1. Thiago has an incredible ability to put balls on a dime and it’s a classic header goal from Josef.  And then it’s a horrible concession. The quick concession after a goal happens too often. Again, we were not ready for how fast the play happens at Yankee stadium. It’s a massive advantage for the Yanks. 

 

4: George Campbell did his best Miles Robinson impression today. It won’t show in his rating because of the two goals scored against us but he was a massive reason why we got the result today. He straight up saved goals. 

 

5: Build. The. Statue? 😆 Dom fucking Dwyer has been one of the best additions to this team with the minutes he’s played and goals he’s scored. For those out there calling for him to start I have but one question. Why? Why do you want to change something that’s working so well? If it’s not out of necessity, keep playing him as the super sub that he is.
