Houston Postmatch

[NYCFC_Dan]

It was a shit show for 45 minutes but the second half was worth watching for sure.
I believe that guarantees us a home playoff match. Now we just need RB and Toronto to drop points.

 

[JGarrettLieb]

Big positive that I'm choosing to take from this match, we can beat bad teams when we are playing poorly.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

We win with only 2 guys playing. Awesome.

Thanks AI and Villa!

 

[snugglefarts]

Can't complain about much with this one.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

We fought for and won the midfield. Houston is not a bad team. That was a good win where we imposed our will. We didn't try to win on the break, that was great to watch. Don't get well soon Frank

 

[Kjbert]

Big win. If either TOR or NJRB drop points, we control our own destiny.

CCL is still a possibility

 

[Kjbert]

PS I certainly want to win the East but finishing above NJRB would be a major boost for CCL hopes. I also don't want to play them in the Conference Semi-Finals

Just win, baby. 2 winnable fixtures left that we should win and I am confident that if we close the season with 12 points in the final 4 matches we will win the East

I saw this during the game, but didn't realize he face planted on his own

 

[Gavin23]

I love you all.

 

[LionNYC]

It's feeling like a gif party!

You get a gif!

And you get a winning gif!

And you get a gif!

And you get a gif!

And you get a gif!

And you get a gif!

And a special gif for Jack

I really want Villa to get at least one more for an even 40 for his MLS career not sure why that matters so much to me but it does.

Hate to quibble after a solid win but Keep waiting for Pirlo to find his free kick boots. He brings so much to the table and I'm more than happy we have him but it just seems like while he brought his world class moves and passing he left his uncanny free kick ability in Europe.

Just bring his shooting boots in general. Those wine boots aren't cutting it

really interesting tactics. 433 or 4141 on defense and 3-2-2-3 or something with iraola going to CB and RJ playing as an inverted fullback. first time we have seen an inverted fullback this year.

He has 12 goals and won various games for us. Why the hate man?

What is an inverted fullback?

 

[Gavin23]

What is an inverted fullback?

I think my grandma had it once.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

What is an inverted fullback?

A bad idea.

At least when it's RJ Allen.

 

[Sabo]

I love RJ Allen, but that really didn't work. Shout out to PV for trying that crazy shit against Houston and not in the playoffs and for scoring off a practice pitch corner piece for the second week in a row -- even if it was a broken play it led to a Villa shot inside the 6.

At least one YS playoff game!!
