A Pattern Against Red Bull / Ep 337 / Blue City Radio

Episode 337:

This week Ronny Deila quipped that in the previous three meetings between NYCFC and Red Bull at Red Bull Arena the referees erred in favor of Red Bull and took points away from NYCFC. Behavioral specialists all agree that seeing three acts is enough to demonstrate a pattern.

The question entering Saturday’s match was how NYCFC would respond. The answer unfortunately was not good.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen discuss the two games from Derby Week and include audio from Ronny Deila, Sean Johnson and Anton Tinnerholm.

The Dallas Draw and the Cincy Scramble / Ep 336 / Blue City Radio

Episode 336:

NYCFC went into Tuesday’s game thinking that Ricardo Pepi was going to be a focal point of the FC Dallas attack. James Sands did an excellent job containing Pepi through out most of the match. Unfortunately it would be the rest of the Dallas offense that would help the Texas team split the points from Red Bull Arena.

On Saturday for the second time in as many games, the club would concede an fourth minute goal. Luckily for the first time since May, NYCFC would show the resilience necessary to steal three points on the road ending their seven game road winless streak.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen give their thoughts on the two games and look ahead at Derby Week.

Episode 334:

The predictions for the match were all modest. Most supporters would be happy to leave Nashville with a point. They would have never guessed that NYCFC would not only lose all three points but also have to head to New England on Saturday without Maxi and Jesus.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen breakdown the Nashville game and look ahead to next week’s game hopefully with more CB depth returning. The guys also discuss the two USMNT World Cup Qualifiers.
