Welcome to Tactical Sips, a semi-regular pre-match post featuring taurine-spiked breakdowns of the upcoming game.
The New York Red Bulls are on a two-match winning streak, coming off victories against some of the league’s worst clubs. The 2-0 result over Toronto FC was an interesting match that could have ended a few different ways. The high press was able to wear down the opponent, but there were more than a few uncomfortable early moments that could have altered the result. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for every team against Gerhard Struber’s system drops to zero.
