MLS Wild Card Playoff FC Dallas vs NYRB in-game thread

FRISCO, TX - OCTOBER 15: Ugo Ihemelu #3 (L), George John #14 (R) and Brek Shea #20 of the FC Dallas honor former FC Dallas player and broadcaster Bobby Rhine #19 with a undershirt after scoring a goal against Vancouver FC during the second half of a soccer game at Pizza Hut Park on October 15, 2011 in Frisco, Texas. Rhine died suddenly of a heart attack. FC Dallas won 2-0. (Photo by Brandon Wade/Getty Images)

Lineups are in

New York Red Bulls: Frank Rost, Jan Gunnar Solli, Stephen Keel, Tim Ream, Roy Miller, Dax McCarty, Teemu Tainio, Rafael Marquez, Joel Lindpere, Dane Richards, Thierry Henry

FC Dallas: Kevin Hartman, Ugo Ihemelu, Zach Loyd, Daniel Hernandez, George John, Jair Benitez, Marvin Chavez, Ricardo Villar, Andrew Jacobson, Brek Shea, Jackson Goncalves

A few quick pre-game thoughts, expect Chavez and Jackson to alternate between right mid and forward. Marvin Chavez scored twice at forward against New York earlier this season so I expect him to remain up top most of the night.

No Agudelo in the starting lineup for the Red Bulls, but look out for Richards and McCarty on the wings with Jan Gunnar Solli who loves to push up from outside back. 

Go FCD!

Decent crowd

Not great but it’s a Wednesday night, so it is about what anyone would expect.

Lots of possession

Nothing too great so far from the possession but boy is NY sitting back looking for the counter.

Yeah

It’s the way to beat Dallas. FCD actually struggled with too much possession.

IT looks like

the FCD back four are communicating extremely well and very fluidly defending.

Yellow to Ream

Keep going after him, that’s the best way to beat this defense.

Villar has been nothing, at least bring Cruz on if you want to keep the same shape in the midfield. Villar has brought nothing to this game so far.

Halftime

0-0, not bad…not great but definitely some spots where Dallas could have put a goal in.

No talking up front...

Not sure if Brek has had too many touches this half. That has to change.
