First observation is that it was ugly and an over
the knee spanking on the front porch
in front of the whole neighborhood. Only respect
NY got was they did not cry in front
of everyone after the spanking. ;-)
Looked like the current US national basketball team
against...
well anyone right now. To be expected,
however.
Ny weaknesses- They have no midfield
presence...in that
Nobody but O'Rourke could be bothered with
defending in the middle.
Gevara can be silky, but holds the ball too long, slows play, and could not
tackle
to
save his life.
Djork could not be bothered to tackle and looks like another euro-weenie
over
here to play "kick around" and see the sights in NY.
No teeth in attack. Buddle is unimaginative and looks like a
plodding
quarterhorse going up against Ky thoroughbreds. Just take a
step
and lop it toward goal. 35 yards out, no problem...... No vision, no sense
of
game situations, etc.
In short, what we would expect for a lower-mid table MLS
side against one the top
2,3 club sides in the world. It also looked like
Barca turned it up a notch after looking
rather ordinary a few other matches.
Give Ny a player in the middle like Mastroeni,
and that team would be an altogether
different proposition; but still would have been beaten
like a rented mule.
