NYCFC are riding a hot streak into Massachusetts, but they’ve had momentum stolen from them on the frigid turf on Gilette Field in the past. New England are unbeaten at home in their last nine games. Patrick Vieira wants to end that streak this Saturday, but he might have to do it without his striker, David Villa who is still recovering from injury.
This week Mike’s trip to training brings us a chat with Jo Inge Berget. In the second segment, Mike and J.R. talk with Jon Huot from the Six States One Pod podcast about New England and their new manager Brad Friedel.
The show wraps up with Patrick Vieira and his weekly chat with the media ahead of this week’s match.

Some fans were already on their way to the stadium when the news broke that David Villa and Anton Tinnerholm were late scratches to NYCFC line-up. Neither player were seen at training earlier in the week, but the hopes were that they would be fit by game time. In previous years this news would rattle the NYCFC faithful, but with the creative play of new DP Jesus Medina and the promise of seeing a longer run out by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi there was still hope in their hearts.
Mike and J.R. welcome Kiera Smith from MLS Female to the show as the trio breakdown the key plays of Saturday’s matchup.

Yankee Stadium welcomed the NYCFC crowd for the first time in 2018. Almost 26,000 were treated to solid display of Patrick Vieira’s vision of NYCFC’s style. While the game wasn’t perfect and the Galaxy were able to create some chances, NYCFC dictated the tempo of the game up until the final 15 minutes.
Mike, Jon and J.R. discuss the key plays to the game. J.R. draws a line in the sand over the play of Rodney Wallace and for once Mike defends Wallace and his contributions to the club. In the end NYCFC was good enough to hold on to the narrow 2-1 margin for the Home Opening victory.
