It sounds like Jovan likes to drift towards the ball like a CF. This could pair nicely with Bakrar's get in behind style. The problem is fitting our other personal into any of those formations. To make it work you're displacing Santi, our best player, from his most effective spot at CAM...

The scouting reports on Jovan say that he has and can play all 4 of the attacking positions so it is possible, but Jovan and Bakrar are the only #9s on the team so if you start both we have limited sub-options. One more reason I remain far more frustrated with David Lee than Cushing. Even in a...

On the defensive side of things, the press appears to be working again, and more importantly, the midfielders and defenders look like they now trust the attacking front to execute well enough that they are willing to spring forward in support. Up until the last two games, we have been stuck in a...

Bakrar does many positive things that get overshadowed by his struggles in front of goal. His movement and work rate are a big part of our offense starting to look good again. He makes space for the other attackers to operate. He keeps the CBs on their heels because he has the pace to get in...

That stinks, I hope you feel better soon!

It's incredible that DC signed Benteke at 18 and developed him into that type of asset....wait....This wasn't some long needless development plan? MLS teams can just sign a guy like that? Does David Lee know about this? You can sign proven scorers and they produce results, someone needs to tell...

Or the other way, a few losses and we will get the is this Nick's last game chatter before each match. The other compounding factor is the lack of meaningfully debatable lineup options. Our struggles as a team this season are so systemic and broad that it's trivial to act like a choice at one...

Yeah, concerning he's been out so long, hopefully it's just a slow healing injury and not something more chronic or structural with his knee. He's still young and despite his recent struggles clearly very talented.

Maxi Morales - Out - Right Knee Talles Magno - Out - Left Knee Rio Hope-Gund - Out - Right Leg Would be nice to know what's up with Magno's knee. Long time to be out with "knee soreness"

First of all, I want to say I appreciate all the unpaid work fans of the team do to cover the team if it wasn't for them we'd have almost nothing. For the record, I don't think Trey or anyone else who covers the team is clueless, and if you are an unpaid reporter covering the team IMO you can...

The talent gap between USL and MLSNP isn't that big, and clearly, these fans hate being reminded of that. Unpopular opinion but I hope the MLS sticks with sending the II teams. It's been fun watching the young guys in meaningful games.

Ojeda played the open cup game so I assume Jovan could play with them as well.

I think some other people here have been part of press events so they may be able to comment further. Given the complete absence of challenging questions at team press events, I get the feeling that you either ask the questions the team wants to be asked or you stop getting invited and/or called...

This tweet perfectly encompasses the NYCFC reporter experience. The biggest signing of the off-season is suddenly back home waiting on a Visa. Does the media press for a projected timeline, No. How about a follow-up question about how this happened, nope. But good news guys they had some obscure...

The only other situation I can find where a player started a season and then had to leave due to visa issues is Corey Burke in 2019 for the Union. The issues took so long to resolve that they had to loan him out and he didn't return to the team for 18 months...

After the whole Lampard thing I don't trust a word our FO says about stuff like this. It could be possible it's not a visa issue at all and that's the story they've come up with.

Yeah, when he was first out I suspected it meant a sale was imminent but I agree at this point it has to be a real injury. Sitting him this long just trashes his value. I don't think it takes too much shuffling, you'd just need to bench Wolf for Fernandez. The other wing has been a rotation of...

Ojeda and Fernandez showed enough tonight that I think they both should be starting from here on out. They scored 2 goals from open play in one game after the rest of the roster had 3 total for our first 6 games. It's time to play the kids and see what they can do. Whenever Jovan gets back if...

According to the Athletic article, these changes go into effect for the summer transfer window. Not sure why they change the rules mid-season but it's not the first time.

"Under the new rules, teams can have either three DPs and three U-22 players, or they can have two DPs and four U-22 players, plus $2 million in general allocation money (GAM)." The big question for us is can it be applied retroactively. If so we could reclassify Magno as our 4th U22 player...
