Met a Quakes fan in my section that flew in just to see Jason play. There was also a group that I saw in the stadium and on instagram that printed a big photo of Jason. Very cool that he matters that much to people.

Good defender. I like how hes from NYC. Good to have local talent on the team (Meara Wingert etc)

He's a solid smart defender. Good pickup for NYCFC. I can imagine John might steal his minutes if he ever gets healthy.

Wouldn't John play next to Jason and move Chris Wingert out to left back?

Perhaps. But both John and Hernandez are your typical stay-at-home CBs. I would imagine NYCFC would want 1 stay, 1 goes up type of game plan. One reason why I think Mendoza will get into the XI sometime soon. If this is so it becomes Hernandez vs John. But I'm not sure I expect John back this season so it's not much to debate.

He has looked the most solid of the defenders so far in the two games. Hopefully he continues to improve with each game.

And another confirmation of Pirlo's arrival.

Glad Hernandez isn't going anywhere.

I won't lie, the first part of that made it sound like he was leaving.

Nothing better than a local guy wearing #2.

Totally agree. Always great to see players honor Marv Throneberry by wearing his number.

His watch has ended. Send him to the former players.

How this man was So Happy to welcome my Andrea when that meant he'd be forced to give up his original 21 shows what character he has !! On the funny side he does a marvelous impression of Andrea in the 20 questions!

Gosh I hope he's in the lineup when we play them. He's worth two goals easy for us with a foul in the box and losing his mark around the 6 for a clean shot.

Former NYCFC defenders don't die, they just move to Toronto.
