Nice bench 

As if Bournemouth and Liverpool is televised over this.

 

Well Bournemouth are definitely going to embarrass them, so it will be well worth it 

 

Quite annoyed that BeIN Sports are doing that here - thankfully its avialable on the BeIN online app.

Is that free?

Look man, he played for us in our absolute rockiest of bottoms when we couldn't score a f***ing goal to save our life in a team that looked as timid, boring, and weak as anything I've ever seen from us. We looked as s*** if not shittier than the relegation season. I can't imagine anyone bar Demba Ba and Loic Remy scoring goals for us.  He played f***ing awful for us don't get me wrong, but a lacking confidence striker who relies on service who plays for a team at its lowest, not creating chances isn't going to score a single f***ing goal.

Agree with this.

Think he could have been a decent player had he not come in just about the worst circumstances possible. Surprised it didn't scare away his brother

What did he do?

Win here, at least on the condition we don't get f***ing Chelsea away next round

 

Semi final is two legs...

Keep forgetting. Mostly since we've never been close to one in my time as a Newcastle supporter..

Think Klopp at Arsenal would make more sense

Win here, at least on the condition we don't get fucking Chelsea away next round

Worse than Colback somehow

we don't care. terrible half

Cahill should be sent off for a terrible dive. Isn't.

NBC picks the most boring game every single week  just because a 'big club' is involved.

Not sure if the faux Man City kit was a masterstroke or a f*** up.

 

Masterstroke: Every so-called Man City fan who previously never cared about the MLS will profess to love NYCFC.

f*** up: Every NYC-based Premier League fan who has been supporting a team other than Man City is never going to support that team / buy that kit.

 

From my perspective, it just makes them dislikable. They could've been the team with soul in NY. Instead they're the Man City reserve team.

So New Yorkers can either support a Man City reserve team or a team named after an energy drink. They've really dropped the ball in the biggest possible market.

Looks like NY did a lot better from my perspective: Mullins, John, Zizzo, Grabavoy are all decent.

Knew Mullins was going to get picked. Rats. Now he gets to play with David Villa. The MLS is so weird 

Hope Campbell isn't heading this direction..

To be fair isn't the play in a cup final always poor though? With a lower standard of players it just shows through even more.

 

It was more the fact that the players appeared not to have even slight ability. Ishizaki trying to kick forward and instead kicking it with his standing foot sideways, the set piece-takers drifting the ball out every single time (even one of the goals was from a free kick hitting the one-man wall), Zardes inexplicably launching the ball 10 feet in the air with every touch, crosses hitting the crossbar, foul throws etc etc. Also, Chris Tierney watching an offside trap happen 5 yards on front of him and keeping Keane onside then being described as one of their best players and that it's "hard to watch the ball over the top and watch the diagonal runner" he's looking right along the line!

The baffling thing is the reaction to it on the internet (not here, of course). Jermaine Jones was apparently "phenomenal in the second half" and a "gladiator" despite putting in one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a player. Been trying to find detailed stats but I'd be surprised if his pass completion in the final third was above 20%. Also made a horrific lunge on Donovan and was fouling all over the shop. Also seen MOTM nominations for Ishizaki, Farrell and others who were also turgid gash. That Kobayashi who came on must have gave the ball away every time he got it. I've seen good matches in MLS but this was a bad advert for the product.

Yup, all fair points. Jones had some terrible passing and the American commentators were afraid to call him out on it. Thought Keane was terrible (ignoring the fact he got the game winner) and Donovan hardly did a thing despite all the talk about him.  Nguyen didn't get enough touches and once he went off the attack was hopeless. The shame of it is that the Revolution had been entertaining the entire run up until that point.

When is the expansion draft? Should be able to snag someone decent and young off us

To be fair isn't the play in a cup final always poor though? With a lower standard of players it just shows through even more.

They were better, terrible match. Glad I won't have to watch Donovan anymore, good riddance.

ESPN giving us no shot of winning this. Good.

The script is too perfect for LA here. Just hope it's a good game without any crazy ref decisions.

Win or loss, the revs have been able to crack into the local media here which has never happened. Talk radio guys discussing the team and sport, rumors of a new stadium made the front page of the paper. Progress is being made everywhere.
