at his age, it's more likely he will get even worse, which is saying something because he's already pretty damn horrendous. from ladybug to... stink bug?

An undercooked Bolognese sauce perhaps?

Ah, gotcha, sorry. The second post makes it sound like you're saying we need a defensive overhaul which the numbers suggest we don't. But yeah, I agree with that. Morales could have been that sort of hit, but he's been more than disappointing. If he worked, he could have been better than tinnerholm. Maybe he'll improve going forward, because if he does he could be a nice plug in DM.

All good. I like getting pushback and feedback. I've actually learned a bunch on this forum. Hard to tell but you know...
I really miss weekly Outfield posts on here. That's one of the biggest downsides of this season.

Towards the beginning Tinnerholm and Heber are talking and he asks hiim how long it's been, Tinnerholm says: "third week, four months to go..."
That would be around March, and that would probably be rehab starting. We might see Anton back after the first few games of next season?

Who is the player at 6:10? Likely an academy player, but haven't seen the face before...

4 months for an Achilles year???

Likely includes physical therapy time. 4 months until he can run normally again is about right for an Achilles rupture

We were really hoping to post a lot more this year and it's been a much busier year for a lot of us personally.

We have a few post ideas that are being kicked around at the moment. I have a few in mind myself but it won't be until the season is over before those get worked on as I'm getting married the day before decision day.

There's a great Reddit post on Laurent Koscielny's ruptured achilles from 2018 that goes into great detail about what a rupture is, the degrees of severity, and an estimated timeline. Looks like about 6 months to resume play is about normal, which would put him at around April/early May to return. That's not bad at all. Hope he can make a full recovery!

Hey. Early congratulations!
Looking forward to the Outfield content when it comes. It really added to my first full year as a NYCFC fan (the 2019 Dome year). Here’s to you, all the outfield contributors and the NYCFC in their push to make the playoffs!

I would think a ruptured Achilles is like at least a 9-month rehab. Maybe 4 months before he can start activity, but it'll be a while before he's ready for game action, I would think.

Congrats Soup!

The Alfredo Morales effect through 31 Games:

When Alfredo Morales plays at least 45 minutes in a game, NYCFC earns 1.65 PPG (17 games).
When he plays less or sits out, NYCFC earns 1.14 PPG (14 games).

Putting aside that we're unlikely to buy anyone out, it would be preposterous to buy out someone with this record.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or serious

While Alfredo hasn’t been great, it’s been pretty clear that the slide the team was on was due more to the play of the wingers and maxi and not due to the defensive midfield.

So true with all of this. There is so much negativity here and throughout the fanbase. It's a little much. We can be angry with the administration of the team while still appreciative that for the sixth straight season they have put a generally quality and entertaining product on the field, slumps notwithstanding.

Those 500 minutes without a goal we’re entertaining? What about the “home” games in New Jersey? Or none of our pricey acquisitions panning out?

Color me not entertained.

And also - they’re supposed to win. Winning is entertaining.
