Will the Real NYCFC Please Stand Up? / Ep 470 / Blue City Radio

Episode 470:

For a club and organization that talks so much about identity and focusing on their own style of play NYCFC’s performances are the furthest thing from consistent. It has been a theme and talking point about this young group of players all season long and this week was a perfect example of the chasm between the lowest performances and the strongest team play.

This week Mike Anderer and J.R. Dibart welcome Alec Kousoff from Five Borough Footy to the show as a guest to break down the miserable loss from the midweek to Philadelphia and the frenzied circus that comes to town with Inter Miami.

Included in the show are quotes from Thiago Martins, Keaton Parks, Nick Cushing, Strahina Tanasijevic, Tayvon Gray, Mitjia Illenic and Alonso Martinez

The Legend of Maxime / Ep 425 / Blue City Radio

Episode 425:

I’m a little confused about what to write. There’s a sense of disbelief about the announcement from today. It’s a sensation we all recognize. That pause when we ask ourselves, “Is this really happening?”

Yes, the longest tenured player for NYCFC has abruptly left the club to return to Corsica. Just shy of his 200th appearance for the club, Maxime Chanot made the difficult decision to go home.

Few can fault his logic, but the criticism is evident for Nick Cushing and David Lee, if Maxime’s decision was influenced by the culture in the locker room.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen get into the rumors that are now official. They also talk about Messi’s trip to NJ and recap the 3-0 loss away in Cincinatti.

Episode 424:

Mike Allen returns to the NYCFC press box and to Blue City Radio. The relationship between Mike and NYCFC head coach, Nick Cushing, has improved greatly since the last time the two met tet-a-tet in the Citi Field press conference room, but the results are eerily similar.

NYCFC continues to get the chances and shots, but this continues to be the season of “almost moments”. As the final nine games approach and the magic number for making the playoffs looms, the team is in desperate need of a breakout moment.

This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen look back on the disappointing result from Sunday and the key choices from Cushing that might be impacting the results on the field.
