Ill gladly admit being on crack.

Now we can move forward.

Ya bastids.

And Andrew – Dane is developing nicely, especially with the coaching on Angel. He isnt the Dane that New England remembers, even if it was 2-3 weeks ago. He has definitely impressed.

And Mr. Baker – crap is going kind of far. Dane Richards is the speed on one wing, Mathis can be that wandering #10, or Altidore has proven he is adept to it. DVB at left full adds to the push.

And our central mid consists of Reyna and Dema at its heart, and then you add the Stammies and Vides of the world.

We arent as bad as you or Nicols think!

he’s right though, RB’s midfield is crap. Who is there in the middle of the park that can distribute the ball and bring creativity to the run of play? Joe Vide? Seth Stammler? Come on…

Andrew is the one on crack. Dane has been a revelation. Do you really expect a rookie to be the “perfect player”? He’s a rookie, and he makes mistakes, just as everyone does. He had a little slump in the summer but he is back and terrorizing defenders again like he did earlier in the season. Without him, our attack wouldn’t have the width and speed that he provides, and he constantly gets behind the defense. Every left back dreads going up against him, and there’s a reason why that’s the case. He, IMO, is the Red Bulls’ Midfielder of the Year.

You’re on crack. They play on FieldTurf which is as artificial as it sounds.

As much as I like Dane Richards for his speed, he is technically not a great player. For every ten crosses he takes, seven are on the ground and easily cleared, two are mis-hit and go out of bounds and one actually goes in the air towards the goal. He, for me, is the weakness is the NYRB attack.
