Not really much to say. Martins got hurt early. Gray came on and was excellent. Haak was poor. The second half subs did not positively impact the game and worst of all Cushing made excuses. Not the way NYCFC fans hoped it would go in Orlando.
This week the guys do their best to avoid talking about the most recent game and instead take the time to interview two of the newest podcasters on the NYCFC scene, Javier and Danny Gutierrez from the City Boys Show (@NYCFCCityBoys).
NYCFC faced two relatively weaker opponents last week, but based on the results you would not have known that. The pigeons dropped three home points at Red Bull Arena against debutantes Charlotte FC, but luckily shook off that performance and stole three points from the Chicago Fire on the weekend.
It was a week of poor midfield defending from both NYCFC and their opponents.
The guys take a quick look at each game and then discuss the newest signing off waivers.
The sparks were flying down in Florida and not all in a good way for NYCFC. The boys in blue jumped out to another lead in this match but similar to the previous match in Columbus, mistakes would cost NYCFC all three points.
This week the guys look at the bad and the ugly from this match. They also breakdown Nick Cushing’s choices through out the match and his comments post-game.
They also discuss the fragmenting of the fanbase and look ahead at the upcoming match against Charlotte.
The Columbus Crew are always a challenging opponent for NYCFC. This year the Crew have one of their strongest rosters in years and NYCFC and interim head coach, Nick Cushing, are still wading through the post-Taty waters. It was a recipe for disappointment and Saturday’s match lived up to its billing.
The guys take a deep dive into the letdowns and missed opportunities from the 3-2 loss. Then they do their best to look ahead at the final games of the season and discuss who they feel Cushing should play for key matches.
NYCFC travelled up to Montreal but they left all of their offensive creativity at the border. The first game without striker, Taty Castellanos, was accurately described by Ian Joy and Joe Tolleson as rudderless.
This week Mike, Mike Allen and J.R. talk about the mundane effort from last week. Then the guys touch briefly on the NY Post article about the stadium and they preview Columbus.
