[David_Villa]

Good comeback. Let's hope it's the start of a turnaround

 

[sbrylski]

Maybe a radical suggestion, but based on that second half, Villa should play an attacking mid role and Mix *needs* more freedom to move up. Let's play your diamond, Kreis:

---------Mullins-----------------Shelton--------
------------------------------------------------
---------------------Villa----------------------
------------------------------------------------
----------Mix--------------------Alvarez--------
------------------------------------------------
--------------------Jacobson--------------------
------------------------------------------------
---Calle-------------------------------Brovsky--
--------------Wingert-----Hernandez-------------

 

[Lasker]

Based on this week and last week, the lesson is:

Getting your worst defender sent off is no handicap.

 

[mgarbowski]

Best tie ever

 

[mgarbowski]

And Villa was a changed man compared to last game.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

The key is for me to have a long day at work. Come home, fall asleep, have my phone die and not wake me up and thus not watch the game.
I'm a jinx, that's why we drew.

 

[Sabo]

Hopefully a season changing 65 minutes

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

fuck yes!!!!!!! I couldn't have taken another loss!

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

How did McNamara look? Loved the small amount I've seen from him in the past.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Waiting for MLS Live to release the stream so I can watch

 

[Davo15]

Cliche but draw that feels like a win.

Not going to lie the thought had crossed my mind that if we didn't pull one back before the half I might see what else was on the telly. Looked we were in for a hiding hard to believe how much they turned it around in the second half.

 

[LIblue]

Great comeback, not going to deny that. but seriously wtf is wrong with this team as far as playing horrible first halves and getting red cards?

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

The game plan sucks, we only look good when we get away from it.

 

[Amon]

Most exciting game since the inaugural opener but the most exciting I have attended as a fan.

 

[mgarbowski]

Khiry needs to up his goal celebration technique.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

We are so shit. Unbelievably lucky to have gotten a point.

We are truly right there for worst in the league.

Unfuckingbelievable that Kreis would run out two fullbacks who are literally the worst goddamn MLS players I've ever seen. Allen doesn't even put on the facade of a pro. He's afucking hatchet man. An embarrassment to club, the league and the ownership.

It truly makes me ashamed. Tonight was not the football I support. I was there, and I'm happy to get a point. But that was just shameful. Across the board.

 

[LionNYC]

A tie never felt so good. I was jumping up and down after Khiry's goal. I high fived every NYC FC employee I could find and one guy from Securitas.

 

[whill4]

Such a weird game.

First half was probably the worst we played all season. Second half was probably the best we played. Villa's assist was absolute class and loved how much he fought tonight. Hopefully they can build on this point.

 

[BxLio91]

Well fuck. I missed the game. Looks like I'm going to have to miss every fucking game so we can at least get a point.

 

[Keith Putnam]

Missed it due to being 35,000 feet above the earth (between Chicago and NYC, actually), but the result seems reasonbly pleasing.

Mostly I'm happy that Shelton scored. He's green now, but I think a few seasons down the line he could be fantastic.
