    Maxime Chanot [Defender]

    I understand there may be more to the story, and I am not sure a full time starting position is suitable for a 34 year old centerback, but any hope I may have had for Cushing is long gone. There is no bond with this team. If we are going to lose - and we are going to lose - at least make it...

    MLS - March 16 - Toronto (Home - YS)

    Glad to get a win. And, I know it is snark, but a dream game for Cushing with all the defensive substitutions and low block the second half.
  4. Brooklyn Blue

    MLS - March 9 - Portland (Home - YS)

    There was definitely a change in approach at the start of the second half. In part, Portland tried to push for the equalizer, but the press was dialed back and players were sitting deeper. Accepting subjective bias,, I'll defer to anyone that has a heat map or the equivalent, but watching it...

    MLS - March 9 - Portland (Home - YS)

    This is a fair point regarding press conferences and statements. Quotes here and there can paint many pictures. I also believe it is time for a change. In professional sports, any sport, messaging can grow stale and losing exacerbates that. The team needs a spark, and as they say you cannot...

    2024 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

    Is that Lee or Cushing? Perhaps it is early and players stlll need time to adjust, but there appears to be a disconnect between players acquired (no one can claim this team has not spent) and players playing. I'll consider any argument, and I suspect there is enough blame to share, but one of...

    2024 Season Ticket Thread

    After last year's mess I didn't bother. I will pay for the shipping if they make that an option. Also, with all respect to Billy's and the team's interest in being a good neighbor, there is plenty of space in the stadium for this and no need to force people to go to a bar.

    MLS - March 9 - Portland (Home - YS)

    Three facts. 1) Cushing will not change. The historical DNA of this team has been Manchester City, not Stoke City, yet his preference is to win every game 0-0. A defensive, counter-attack style can succeed, but this team is not - and has not - been built for that. From the start of the...

    MLS - March 2 - St. Louis (Away)

    After reflection, people have correctly pointed out poor spells in the past and other calls for manager firings. However, the current run feels different, and not just due to immediacy: 1) Length. It has been a full season of frustration, even with the small run at the end of 2023. No other...

    I’m now glad I need to miss two of the next three home games.

    MLS - February 24 - Charlotte (Away)

    I was at a (very good) concert and missed the game live.* Before I started the replay, I expected another "Cushing special" - but I have to say, it looked different to me, regardless of the result. As others noted, the expected goals must be out of balance due to the "double" attempt on the...

    NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2024

    After last year, not sure how anyone can be upset at a mid-table to lower mid-table prediction. The signings are promising, and the team did play better late in the year, but it is the same manager and there was a lack of progression (and some regression) from key players. I am cautiously...

    2024 NYCFC Kit Thread

    It is the best road kit the team has had. The alternating colors are great, but it is the predominance of black that allow them to work - alternate colors for name and number would be less effective and clean on an orange jersey. I suspect on television it will be even better.

    Preseason caveat aside, Jones has some juice.
