Thank You, Ronny. Hi, Justin Haak / Ep 368 / Blue City Radio

Episode 368:

For the second time in their short history an NYCFC Head Coach left the team for a job in Europe mid-season. The biggest difference between this departure and that of Patrick Vieira in 2018 was that the news broke much sooner to Deila’s departure. There was no weeks long tug of war between the coach and the media. There was the game in Belson Stadium, the away match in Minnesota and then all of a sudden Ronny was gone.

This week Mike, J.R. and Chris Campbell from the Outfield discuss the news of Nick Cushing being named interim head coach for the rest of the season.

In the second segment the guys welcome NYCFC homegrown midfielder, Justin Haak, to the show to talk about his career at NYCFC.

Episode 364:

After scoring fourteen goals in their previous three games the dynamic attack of NYCFC fell back down to earth. Was it the absence of leading scorer for the team, Taty Castellanos? Was it Delia’s conservative approach to the game? Did Ronny break the cardinal rule and leave one eye focused on Wednesday’s Open Cup match?

This week the guys discuss what they saw from Saturdays waterlogged affair. They also touch on the slew of injuries to players on the astroturf fields after two league stars fell victim this past week.

The Icing On The Cake / Ep 363 / Blue City Radio

Episode 363:

NYCFC would return to the Bronx on Sunday after calling Queens home for a week. The Pigeons would host the Quakes at Yankee Stadium for an early afternoon snoozer. That is until NYCFC found their mojo with a goal by Keaton Parks in the 74″. NYCFC would add another four minutes later, but the icing on the cake came in the 88″ as Chris Gloster would silkily slide in his first of his MLS career.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen give their takes on the Sunday matinee. The guys bring on NYCFC II contributor, Bjorn Bellenbaum, in the second segment to discuss the MLS Next Pro squad as they host Toronto FC II on Sunday.

It was another week of firsts for NYCFC and NYCFC II.

This week the guys look back at the thriller from Queens and look ahead at San Jose and what their new changes at the coach’s position will mean on Sunday.
