After the match against the Columbus Crew, Red Bulls fans were up in arms. A complete disaster in the first half saw the team down 3-0 after just 31 minutes.
Poor defense, silly mistakes, and an inexcusable play by Michael Murillo saw Chris Armas’ plans go out the window rather quickly. The convoluted system he tried out just did not work, despite his efforts to fix it in the second half.
The Red Bulls scored two goals of their own, but ultimately fell 3-2 at the full time whistle. One player that undeservedly took criticism after the match was Derrick Etienne.
