MLS Match Day 5 - TFC @ NYCFC Saturday May 15 1:08pm - Antenna up & Out Into New York

[portu]

No Delgado at all in the squad.

Moving to a two forward formation would leave an odd man out in the middle of the park. Poz, Oso and Bradley are all automatic starters, but Poz and Oso can play tucked on the right wing (which would be ideal for Laryea to overlap anyway). If the club actually backs Priso/Okello then Delgado (500k a year) is probably the odd man out. Though moving Delgado is probably the wrong decision when you have an aging Michael Bradley on 1.5m.

We are 3 to 4 deep at every position except for CB. If moving Delgado allows us to get a starting quality guy there then that would be amazing.

Where is Morrow, if he doesnt make the starting XI or bench, should we look at trading him away, unless hes injured it makes no sense keeping him around with the new LB signing(Lawrence)

Very curious indeed

[mowe]

Going to be interesting to see how that midfield holds up. Our attack is looking real strong though.

He is on a very low salary this year

There very few player for player deals in MLS anymore. If Delgado does get dealt, it will be for GAM.

Moving him for GAM and going outside MLS for a CB would be the smartest way to do it for sure.

No doubt. Probably just picked up an injury.

[rydermike]

Not necessarily a 5 man back line. Armas seems to not mind playing a full back as a midfielder like Morrow did in the CCL

Could be

---------Bono--------
Laryea---Omar--Manga---Lawrence
Endoh------Bradley--------Auro
--------------Solteldo--------------
-------Ayo-------Jozy-----------

or Ayo-----Jozy------Solteldo


Lineup is just the media guy listing the players, not necessarily the formation

[rydermike]

Auro in centre mid apparently per TSN in a 442

[MikeForbes]

Caldwell almost cried when he had to say that Auro was preferred at CM to Ralph Priso.

[alex andrew]

i guess auro is there to back a little up soteldo in defensive duties

[MikeForbes]

This field is disgusting.

[ag futbol]

What a disgrace this field is. MLS should give them two years to finalize a stadium or force them to play at RBA

[James17930]

This is going to be very interesting.

[Thomas]

What a crappy toy pitch that is.

[rydermike]

So hard to watch with this diagonal field camera angle

[PizzaEatingYeti]

Shockingly bad TV angle!

Well, they do have the plan, but it was probably set back a year by the pandemic.

this feels like the game is on community television. Horrible

[ag futbol]

They are nowhere on this. They told their fans in early April they were 4 years out once they enter the public approval process.

[portu]

Auro at DM???? This definitely feels like Armas trying to figure out who the odd man out is.

[alex andrew]

so far no one entered the baseball diamond

[rydermike]

so far no one enered the baseball diamond

I'm going to pay attention to that. How much the sand area is avoided.
Could really limit Laryea's effectiveness

[PizzaEatingYeti]

Damn this stupid pitch and TV angle, this match is impossible to enjoy!

[Yuushalinsky]

Soteldo with a near screamer, my word...
