NY sneak one past Brad

By: Alex | June 6th, 2008

The funny old game strikes again.

Chivas USA dominated the match for the most part and still lost.

I’m OK with that. The key for me is in the chemistry the team is developing. The team worked hard for 90 minutes. The passing is really improving. Great display of skill.

NY exploited one of the few defensive errors. Overall, the back was tight. Curtin is taking hold of the back line. Pancho Mendoza … wow. For a dude his size controlling the New York offense… good stuff. His attacking runs are getting better and his passes are cleaner.

Hamilton needs a little more time to gel with the first team. Other than that, a superior performance displayed by the Red and White.

  Hey Alex – not for nothing, but the only thing I found impressive about the last game was the fact i didnt snooze off. Mendoza was awesome against Dane. but outside of him? There wasnt much going on for either side of the ball.

  Sacha Kljestan and Mendoza were Chivas’ really shining stars. Kljestan was/is a very composed player, I could see him fitting well into Serie A’s style of play. But other than that, the game was pretty ugly.

  But I agree, Chivas bossed the bulls for most of the game, and marked JPA out pretty well, but hey… all he needed was 1 slip of his marker :].

  Yeah … it was tough for both sides. Imagine if Chivas USA had the eight injured players available.

  Yeah, I was just thinking about this… is it just me, or does every team in the MLS have like atleast 3 important injured players or what?

  Its the lack of depth Tommy – totally screws a team when one of the very few bright stars goes down. Look at Chivas – who can replace a Galindo and Razov at 100%? I think we got that answer yesterday.

  I know Hamilton needs time with the first team, but I would rather it had been a home game, with us in the lead.

  He looked a little shell shocked. He only took on another player once, and it didn’t look all that bad, but his passes weren’t sharp, and he didn’t go forward very often.

  We did dominate that game (until Angel scored)! We had our chances to score. So it’s not a bad result for a road game. I would have been satisfied with a draw, and loved a win. But a 1-0 loss showed just a momentary lapse of concentration (of course, that is all it takes, but still).

  I like Preki’s attacking posture, home or away!

  I’m glad the rookies are holding their own, because they will be key during July! Open Cup, Superliga, and normal schedule.

  I am actually looking forward to this busy season. Chivas USA is as ready as any MLS team.
