Away - 03/08 Orlando City SC

[Fabio]

They'll probably reach a sell out, which is good for the league.

I hope that also the 200 tickets for the NYCFC fans will be sell out........

Does anybody think we will wear our home jerseys at OC? Purple and black are both pretty dark and might not contrast enough

My money is on the home jersey. For a few reasons, one of which you've already mentioned, but the biggest reason is because a ton of people will be watching, and CFG will want to get their City brand burned into minds of MLS fans.

That will be a nightmare for us color blind supporters

NYC is blue !!!!

Does somebody know the capacity of the 103 section of the Orlando stadium ?

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Anyone notice if you say OCSC like an acronym that it kind of sounds like *OCkSuCk?

 

[Ahab_Flanders]

COCSC?

Over 60 tickets of the NYCFC fans sold for Orlando game : http://www.eventbrite.com/e/orlando-city-sc-away-game-tickets-15275070146?aff=erelexporg

Got my ticket. Would make a great birthday present if we won our first ever match~

So did we see anything against Orlando on Saturday that would make Kreis rethink how 3/8 will go down? Did Kaka surprise NYC? Was Shea the secret weapon? Will Mullins, Nemec, Shelton or Taylor start up top with Villa?

Kaka looks like the real deal, obviously. Shea got forward, bit didn't really look dangerous, I would hope they would exploit the space behind him better when it counts. TT owned him one on one at one point, he is so awkward in defense. I think Shelton has to start with Villa.

What do you think?

 

[BxLio91]

Might be too late but K19 for Seb, drop Villa and TT at LF and RF behind K19 as the top ST.

So 4-3-3?

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

K19 did make a difference as he came on, but I think it's too soon to label him as a starter for this match.
Going from college to professional level is a huge step up, and usually takes more time.
With that said, I'm not sure who I'd start alongside Villa though.

Counterpoint: he was considered one of the most pro ready guys coming out of college. I'd give him a few starts until he shows why he can't start.

True. I just think it would be better for a developing player to get a few appearances to show why he should start, rather than the opposite and get dropped. I would be a more cautious manager than you I suppose. Then again, Kreis is an expert and sees them play in training as well, so I'm confident he will make the right decision.

Its not like any of the other forwards have grabbed the job in their chances. TT has been great, but he really didn't look good in combination with DV, they are too similar. I think TT will be best as backup to DV or substitute to come run at tired defenders.

 

[BxLio91]

So 4-3-3?

4-3-2-1

 

[Fantazma]

4-3-2-1

4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 is fine. As long as we dont have a true DM that diamond will look bad like it did Saturday and team will struggle.
