I agree the defense was not fully tested so still out in the open how they will perform. I do still think we may need another defender or two.

That was fun to watch, haven't even seen Mix and Calle yet. So many options
If Poku can play at that kind of level do we even need to spend our last DP slot on DM?
Amazing game from our team. We played very well. Counting the days until the season starts!!
Hmm I watched bits and pieces as I was working. Just got off. The bits I saw jeb added great width on the right side and pushed the ball up.
I thought Williams did more offensively. Brovsky looked out of position a few times on defense, and had at least two bad passes, and a heavy touch.
No Meara.
I was impressed with Taylor and Poku........and Shelton showed "ambition" (love those British announcers!)
Poku looked brilliant. Very Toure like.
I posted a MOTM poll in this matchday sub-forum. I think we should do one every match, and let
NYCFC_Dan announce it on twitter.

I don't think Brovsky played too bad, he didn't do too much but he provided width and was never really beat too badly on defense...
As for the team a great start, dominated a club from a respected league from start to finish. Was this their A team?

Note on Mendoza: like his highlight video showed, he isn't afraid to roam forward and challenge for the ball. He won the ball when he did it so it didn't compromise our defense
Not too tricky to just hug the touchline in attack though is it? I don't think he'd have the legs to commit forward and be able to get back playing against a more adventurous side. Only 1 game though, there's plenty more opportunities before the season gets under way.
Yea thats expected, but I was referring to their 1st half line-up. I don't think either team fielded their best 11, but did St. Mirrens play the majority starters for the first half or were they back-ups?
Just got in from the match, was a great experience. Wasn't really expecting that much from the game, with it being the first ever game etc; but I was really surprised with the quality. Some of the passing moves were very good, there's a lot of potential there.
I was also impressed by Jacobson, but I'd disagree about Brovsky I thought he did ok. Mullins hold up play was great at times, Villa was just Villa! Shay Facey performed well and I think his loan in NYC could be very productive for both parties. On a funny note, Tony Taylor had his name sung by the fans on the terraces because " he had a name that sounded like he was from round here!". Finally, Nemec's hold up play was also good; I was very happy with the forward options.
Took some photos for all you fans across the pond; does anyone know the season ticket holder who made the trip across? Fair play to him! Enjoy!
