WHEN IN DOUBT, TURN TO HENRY
Injuries have slowed the progress of the Red Bulls once red-hot captain, but in a flash, he showed his worth this afternoon.
Last season, when in doubt, the team would look to Henry for a mini-miracle. Today’s brilliant notch off of an equally gorgeous Le Toux service was a throwback to 2011. New York held possession but created little danger. They dominated play for stretches but failed to find a pay off.
Then Henry happened.
In the bat of an eye, he changed the complexion of the game – again.
Is Henry back? It sure did look like it …
You know, overall it was a great win. They did wells enough to win. What Moe can u ask for?
He didn’t even play but my post is still going to be about Rafa. Can we just call it a loss and cut him? He’s too lazy to put in a full shift at center back and he’s just not good enough to play any role in the midfield. Dax is a workhorse and the experiment of playing both of them in the middle was a dismal failure. Basically we are paying Rafa almost 5 million a year to hit some long balls that Thierry may or may not be able to run on to.
I’ll tell you Chuck … the frustration seems to be seeping into the team as well. Henry has always been a staunch supporter but other teammates are beginning to grumble.
That was a truly classy goal from Henry! Hope to see more of those lofted balls from Le Toux as well.
