SBN Dynamo Perspective: Dynamo Theory

Happy gameday everybody! If there is anybody out there watching the Red Bulls, that is. You must be if you're reading this, so welcome to our match thread for tonight's game against the Houston Dynamo.

The Red Bulls are unchanged from Saturday's win over LA, and look to be lining up in a 4-5-1 at home for the first time under Hans Backe -- although Dane Richards may play as a forward. Rafa Márquez sustained an injury in training and does not make the bench for this game. Former Red Bull Mac Kandji starts up front for Houston.

If you didn't see it earlier, be sure to check out our match preview.

Lineups

Red Bulls (4-5-1): Ryan Meara; Brandon Barklage, Markus Holgersson (c), Tyler Ruthven, Connor Lade; Mehdi Ballouchy, Dax McCarty, Joel Lindpere, Jan Gunnar Solli, Dane Richards; Kenny Cooper

Bench: Jeremy Vuolo, Jonathan Borrajo, Ryan Maduro, Juan Agudelo, Jhonny Arteaga, Victor Palsson, Roy Miller

Dynamo (4-4-2): Tally Hall; Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Geoff Cameron, Corey Ashe; Calen Carr, Adam Moffat, Luiz Camargo, Brad Davis; Cam Weaver, Mac Kandji

Bench: Tyler Deric, Andre Hainault, Nathan Sturgis, Will Bruin, Alex Dixon, Je-Vaughn Watson (yes, really), Colin Clark

Go Red Bulls, Rangers, and Knicks (not necessarily in that order).

Stuck late at a meeting for my real job

Missing the Red Bulls and the Rangers for this. So Coop’s goal was a fluke?

Just stopping by to wish the Red Bulls luck! Happy to see we have the early lead! GO RED BULLS.

Much more hockey to be played

If the Caps can shutout the Rangers for the rest of the game, God bless them, that game’s not ending 1-0.

Series has been very, very tight for the most part. I wouldn’t be surprised if the final score was 2-1.

Apparently what's present of the South Ward

The referee gave that card to Dax because he looks so squat and has tiny arms.

People on the twitter machine are saying Agudelo is looking dangerous.

Bulls looking a bit more threatening, or so I would assume by reading the twitter.

1-0 FT

Improbably, the Red Bulls are 2.5-0 with 3 cleansheets since Henry went down.
