“I don’t think he will be in contention for tomorrow,” Osorio said after Friday’s training. “I only want to play players who are 100 percent healthy and he’s not 100 percent healthy. I would rather play somebody else.”
Relplacing Altidore in the lineup will be tricky. The Drinks are hoping newly aquired forward Oscar Echeverry can play well uptop with Angel. But one has to think the output falls off quite a bit form Altidore to Echeverry.
Obviously, it's early in the season, but to take 3 points in New York would be special. And with Altidore out, it's going to make things even tougher for an already depleted NYRB team. They have little to no life in their midfield, and their defense is nearly as porous as Toronto's. Maybe even worse. The Crew should not be thinking tie in this game, despite being on the road.
I stand by my earlier 2-1 prediction. Now? Off to Ruby Tuesday's. Go Crew!!!
