Late in the second half of tonight’s limp surrender against NYCFC, Ruben told me this felt like watching the 2015 Fire. I find it hard to disagree.
There are times when this team looks really good, but they’re vanishingly rare, and more often than not it comes as a surprise. There’s always a reversion, and that reversion always looks the same. It’s almost like there’s comfort in our ongoing mediocrity. I’m not sure that’s a position any of us want to be in.
So, uh. No Johan Kappelhof and no Aleksandar Katai. That is certainly a choice.
