    Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)

    I think that in time and with the right players Dome's tactics would work in the same way that Pep struggled in his first season - it took a season of coaching and 2 big transfer windows to do it. However i think its clear Dome has lost the dressing room, the players always believed in Pep's...

    NYCFC Confirm Departure of PV. Nice Confirm Arrival of PV as Manager.

    What i meant was last game aside our performances have been much worse since the rumours started. First it was Arsenal now it's Nice, if he wants to go then let him go now so we can get a new manager in asap. It's just a bit of a mess if we are kept waiting while PV continues to look for clubs...

    NYCFC Confirm Departure of PV. Nice Confirm Arrival of PV as Manager.

    Situation is just a mess now, clearly affecting our performances. its frustrating because this year i think with a good addition in the summer we have the team to win the cup. We have spent the past 2 seasons building a team perfect for the style of play PV wants to play. Fair enough if he...

    Looking Ahead - Winter Window

    I guess it would depend on the opponent, im sure that team could work against teams who don't press high. Even if we need Hererra, we would still be able to keep our forwards fresh by rotating them. Injuries ruined us last season.

    Anton Tinnerholm [Defender]

    How come they are leaving on free transfers? Did they not want to sign a new contract or did the club not offer them one? They seem to be 2 of your better players so it seems strange that they are leaving for nothing.

    2018 SuperDraft - NYCFC Thread

    I expect we will draft a CB or maybe a LB/RB with our highest pick. We seem to be set in terms of forwards and we have 2 young midfielders (Sands and Awuah) already.

    Some really good finishes there, wouldn't surprise me if he plays on the wing for us when Villa is playing.

    NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

    Without knowing how much TAM we have because mls it's hard to say, if we had the money available after signing TAM players in the other positions I said about then sure. However I think those other positions are more important as the TAM players there would be playing more minutes and would...

    NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

    In terms of TAM players: CM -We definitely need another CM who is at a similar level as Ring, Herrera. We need to have a good squad and the options to rotate, last season Pirlo, TMac played far too many minutes. This allows us to not be overly reliant on our midfield 3 that are often not all...

    2018 Roster Discussion

    I assume they would do what they did previous years sign some trialists to fill depth roles. They might also be waiting until after the superdraft before knowing what positions they need to fill.

    Jesus Medina signs as young DP

    His goal record according to wikipedia is 17 in 74 apps which seems ok for a young player, I expect quite a few of those appearances were as a sub and he would have been playing when he was 16/17/18 so he has probably improved significantly since then. Can't seem to find stats anywhere for his...

    2018 Roster Discussion

    As Gotham Gator alluded to, the league is progressing rapidly. Players such as White and Struna may have appeared to be good enough this season(not stand out players) however when the league goes up a level they will seem out of their depth. Could include Brilliant in this as well. Examples of...

    Angelino [Defender]

    From reading on the NAC Breda forum their fans really rate him and think he is one of the best LBs in the eredivisie. He has started pretty much every game and takes their corners/wide free kicks. Also seems to have been in the eredivisie team of the week quite a bit.

    Columbus - Postmatch

    Noticed a few people criticising Brilliant for the 2nd Columbus goal. Watching the replay Johnson clearly shouts that he is going for it so Brilliant gets out of the way (he wouldn't want to block his own keeper from getting it). First half we completely dominated, Maxi was very impressive...

    Away - 03/05 Orlando

    I would go with: Wallace------Villa-----Harrison --------Maxi---------Ring-------- -------------Herrera-------------- Mata-Brilliant-Callens-Chanot ------------Johnson-------------- If they are going to play a narrow 4-4-2 diamond then they will mainly play through the middle. Having 3 CBs...

    2017 Roster Discussion

    Suddenly our roster is looking really good. Both starting 11 and depth are better than last year imo if you consider we were without Harrison, Lampard, Chanot for long periods. Starter Can play this position although best position is elsewhere GK Johnson (27) Johansen (24) Rawls (25) LB...

    I guess the reason we don't see us paying a big transfer fee for a DP is that the CFG wants all their clubs to be self-sustainable. We would have to compete with China in terms of transfer fees and wages to take top players in the prime e.g Hulk. Although Villa, Lampard and Pirlo all had high...

    Alexander Ring to NYCFC

    If we partner Pirlo with 2 box to box mids who are both decent defensively and will work hard then we don't need a CDM. If we want to have someone playing as a number 10 like Camargo/TMac then i think we will need a CDM. 433 is an extremely adaptable system that many teams use and some play in...
