The bandaid was just a bandaid.
Despite getting a win against the Orlando Pride last week, it was clear that the Chicago Red Stars hadn’t sorted the work in solving the deeper problems lying in their midfield, and they looked just as troubling as ever in the clubs first ever loss to Sky Blue FC.
Now I want to get ahead of that part of it early; Sky Blue looked decent tonight. There’s something to be said for the psychological bump after a problematic manager is let go, and the troupe from New Jersey came in with a solid effort and a very reasonable defensive formation.
