Welcome to Tactical Sips, a semi-regular pre-match post featuring taurine-spiked breakdowns of the upcoming game.
The New York Red Bulls headed into last Saturday with the opportunity to build some momentum. A quick turnaround after the 1-0 victory over Columbus Crew SC presented the opportunity for a nice little boost up the table. The weather obviously had other ideas, stranding the club five points out of the seventh and final playoff place with two matches in hand. Now there’s the upcoming fixture, followed by an international break, and then an absolutely frenzied two-month stretch run.
