1. Let’s start off with the most obvious point of all: Taty Castellanos’ suspension. How much do you think that it will affect New York’s attack, especially against Philly’s strong backline?
It’s a heartbreaking red, and it takes away the closest thing any MLS team has to a guaranteed goal—Taty scored eight goals in six games. That said, we’re not short on attacking talent—six players not named Taty scored goals in that same six-game run. Just look at Santi Rodríguez. His opening goal against New England was unstoppable, and even when he doesn’t score he keeps the opposing backline off-balance and creates chances for others.
