Orlando - Postmatch

[NYCFC_Dan]

I don’t know how we are continuing to win with what looks like a lackluster lineup but we’re doing it and I couldn’t be happier. It’s quite ugly at times.

Another game coming up soon and hopefully some changes to the lineup and we see some fresh legs in there (Lewis/Berget/Shradi) in for TMac/Wallace.

I’m fine with switching three guys in for two.

I’m the Historic First fan to have NYCFC win against the same team twice on my birthday. NYC5 ORL3 on July 26, 2015; NYC2 ORL July 26, 2018. Don’t let the envy eat your soul.

I have still yet to see an Orlando fan on camera who isn’t flipping the bird.

So because we were talking about NYCFC win streaks-
twice before we have won four in a row. And it's really odd:
In 2017
MD 15: NYC 2 - 1 PHI
MD 16: NYC 2 - 1 SEA
MD 17: RB 0 - 2 NYC
MD 18: NYC 3 - 1 MIN
in 2016:
MD 16: NYC 3 -2 PHI
MD 17: SEA 0 - 2 NYC
MD 18: NYC 2 - 0 RB
MD 19: NE 0 - 1 NYC

For some reason we just like beating PHI and then SEA and then RB lol. When I first looked, I was so confused as to why the form guide wasn't refreshing.

This year our streak began on MD 18, and against different teams (Except RB )

Ugly game, Orlando truly is shit. Team wilted in the second half, unlike the prior games, even a man down ORL was carrying play.

But these are the type of games you need to win to get the Shield. Now somehow get a point in Seattle and rest up.

Saw an official sign (not SG) above their standing area titled:

“Never Hunt Alone”

They are trying way too hard to create a fan culture there.

I kind of figured it would be obvious I meant a combination of the 3.

Folks mentioned how happy they'd be with Maxi going 10/10 this season and it looks like he may blow that away

Seems like he’s about 10/50 given how many clear chances he misses.

I hear sometimes people get better once they adapt to the peg. So we got that.

3 points on the road is always a good thing, but that was not a pretty game. Play like that vs Seattle and I don’t think we get any points out of that game. Orlando hit the woodwork 3 (4?) times.

If he’d held his run a split second longer, Lewis’ feed was perfect for his second goal.

But seriously, Maxi is making spectacular runs now like Villa did two years ago, and is razor-thin with repeatedly beating the defenses we’re facing. If he could just get his shooting straightened out, he’d have another 5-6 goals over the past 4 matches.

I sort of agree. But...

On a positive note, I’m not sure Seattle can score if we don’t play U3 or Walton because we will be much less likely to give it away so cheaply.

See Joe Smith (aka Mrs. U3), I am not negative.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

This game just screams that we need to acquire a starter level midfielder that can slot in as an 8 or 10 in a pinch.

We won’t win MLS Cup if we don’t.

It’s almost at that level for left back, too. Sweat had a couple of strong games, but he was back to SSDD tonight.

This looks so intentional. His foot doesn’t even come up until after Maxi wins the ball.
