He did that many times. So easy to forget when so few of those passes produced a goal.

From what I’ve seen from some highlights, Stuver has been a revelation for Austin. Interesting that he has so humbly sat as #2 for so many years.

As said, the deal was as good as possible and made sense money-wise. But trading your captain doesn't look very encouraging. OTOH the season has started well and whatever the reason behind the transfer, it's good that the club and the player have moved on. I also heard that there were at least...

I heard from someone who should know that Ring's departure was very much because of a rift with David Lee. Obviously Lee had broken his promise in the contract talks once too often, and after that Ring felt that he must go. He would definitely have wanted to stay, he loved the place and had just...

He started the year with a calf injury. I think that held him back for the most of the season, especially at it started properly only after the Disney tournament.

Another interesting detail is that he was never voted the Player of the Month.

It's of course a matter of opinion. Mine is that Parks is way too erratic compared to Ring, Sands is a big talent but lacks Ring's leadership, and Maxi was the weakest of the lot this season. That had a lot to do with his injuries. What baffles me is that this gone season a few people found it...

Wait! Alexander Ring shouldn’t have been in NYCFC’s starting 11? 4th best midfielder? I don’t know what you smoke but I wouldn’t dare to try it.

I have the feeling that Ring thought he would be that big name but the club didn't think so. What worries about this move is that you can sign a big name as a DP, but it's still sheer lottery. Not all big name DPs have real impact. Ring surely wasn't a big name signing when he came, but someone...

The only way this all makes sense is that Ring wanted a considerably better deal, that Lee wasn't prepared to give him, for whatever reason. Because, like it or not, Ring has been the spider in the middle of the cobweb of this team for the past four seasons (although Deila didn't always think...

That’s just what I already said, minus the thing about the visa.

Wasn't Mitrita's departure because his pregnant wife never received a US visa at all, rather than the pandemic? The club surely knew this.

Surely it was a poor penalty, but to insinuate that he did miss on purpose is a bit cheap.

It was crystal clear. But of course this topic is meaningless anyway, because had the PK been given, Maxi would have botched it.

That's because it was a fair 1 on 1, like penalties always are. It was so to say a forced error (I admit it was a terrible PK – facing an outfield player, he could have just rolled it into any bottom corner). Last year it was a different thing: a player not good enough lost his mind and made a...

And yet Nani's clear handball didn't lead to a PK.

If you let Maxi Moralez take your penalties, you should lose.

American way or not, mixing together a league and a cup is IMO just stupid.

Medina isn't the most expensive player, but for his salary there could be much more effective players available in the European leagues outside the Top4. Not all can be winners, and for every Ring, Callens and Tinnerholm there will be a Berget, Hountondji and Amagat, but somehow young South...

Scoring four was very encouraging considering how clearly unfit Maxi was. That was one of the quietest games for ages from him. The same with Tinnerholm. Ibeagha played well, but as Sands is out, losing Callens to WC qualifiers means there are no replacements left if something bad happens to...
