The end game for tonight after 90 minutes better be a happy, joyous victory filled clap over at the Nordecke, or Crew fans have a month to ruminate over a loss tonight.
Rob Oller's Columbus Dispatch article is right, the Crew are severely lacking in leaders and stars entering the 2011 season. And the likes of Chad Marshall and Emmanuel Ekpo stepping up and taking on that role are unlikely.
So, what do the Crew have to do tonight, just win baby.
Winning is the cure all for fans. Fans who are sour because they've lost players that they have connected to like Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Frankie Hejduk.
The Crew need a big performance tonight to put a lot behind them and to open a new chapter, that's the most important thing that can be gained out of tonight. Not as Warzycha said yesterday, that the most important thing from this game is that both teams do not suffer an injury.
Oller's article is once again right, the face of the Crew organization at the moment is the Nordecke. And this new Crew is basically on a job interview tonight, will they do the right things to impress the Nordecke or will they leave the Nordecke looking for more and asking questions?
If the Crew do the latter, it will breed negativty into the MLS season, as Crew fans will have a good month to discuss this game as they await the MLS season.
A bad performance tonight and Crew fans might already start to write off 2011. So, a big performance tonight is crucial to get 2011, and Warzycha's team off to a good start.
In mid-20 degree weather tonight, the only ones that will probably be there in force tonight is the Nordecke. It probably wouldn't be a keen idea of the Crew to play 50% percent and blame the weather, and leave these diehards asking questions after 90 minutes tonight.
