Next match is 08/12 against LA Galaxy. Not the team of last year but they're still star studded and not to be taken lightly.

Matchday - 08/12 11pm kickoff on ESPN.

No Maxi due to yellow card suspension.

I expect a Pirlo, Ring, Herrera midfield which is better than the Pirlo, Ring, Moralez midfield we saw at Toronto. The double cover allows Pirlo to do more and be Pirlo. Or put a typical forward (Jack or McNamara) in the midfield and start Okoli.

This game will be over by 1 AM, so we better put a good performance. LA is shit at home but now they have Jonathan Dos Santos.

I'm with you here. Give me the same lineup we just had but Pirlo in and Maxi out. Would love to see Wallace available on the bench and have him sub in for some fitness. Just please please please no Pirlo AND TMac.

The choice is either Pirlo with Ring and Herrera, or we start 3 of Jack, TMac, Shelton and Lewis and put one at CAM.

What stinks about the Yellow for Maxi is that he was one game from the good behavior reduction.
 
Galaxy are garbage this year, so not crushing the life out of them would be disappointing. Now I've cursed us.

Well, this isn't exactly the same team that has been struggling all year. They've added a new coach, who has had a couple games to get a new system in place, and a new DP. We are going to have to be ready for this one.

So hyped for the game. It's been too long since a NYCFC game day for me.

You heading down?

I'd go 3-3-4 if we had Maxi and Chanot. I'd be a little nervous in that formation for a full game without both of them.

I do want to believe that PV has developed some attacking systems specifically to exploit Okoli. I really do want to believe that.
