Lampard To Nycfc
- Thread starter Drainyoo
- Start date
Not yet, but I am sure he will eventually, so why not show some initiative!
Anyway, welcome Lampard!
Time for me to shed my concerns and support him (since I can't reverse the signing).

Yeah, I've been photoshopping US flag tattoos onto his bare pecs all night trying to psyche myself up.
As a matter of fact, yes! Red Bulls had a press conference where they announced absolutely nothing of any importance.Sorry I had school today, did I miss anything?
From the looks of Thierry Henry it was more of a MLS mandatory punishment session
Don't forget the tramp stamps (just learned that phrase a few months ago and it is already a favourite).
Really wonder if we go for the 4-3-3 or 4-2-2 with Lampard. The video on mls.com on what the Lampard signing means tactically to nycfc was interesting. I agree with simon borg, we need two hard runners next to Lampard. Our next signing has to be a young DP midfielder who can cover a lot of ground. But if we do go with the 4-3-3 what does that mean for villa? Villa is more effective in a 4-2-2 playing next to another striker....hmm..decisions decisions.
I know we only have four players at present, but I'm not sure it'd be wise to make playing an understrength side a policy...

lmaooo oopps! Well played sir.
We can still beat orlando with that formation

It would definitely be a statement of intent.
But I think it is a bit early to speculate on formation, though, our tactics and system are absolutely locked in.
This concern is why I wasn't/am not a big fan of the signing. He's not really a creator, and he's not going to cover the distance we'll need. For me, he's a luxury player for a really strong squad. Given what we know of our squad and the league in general, there isn't a lot of room for luxury players.
Even guys like Higuain and Valeri are expected to give something on both ends (okay, too much for Valeri since he sometimes seems like he's trying to play the 8 & 10 a la WCF MB90). Henry got benched for several matches last year, I believe at least in part over work rate. MLS reflects the USMNT and USMNT reflects the American style of play that puts a premium on fitness and athleticism.
Even a guy like Robbie Keane defends, playing what I would call "sneaky defense". Point is, he puts in work all over the pitch. I really hope Lampard can give us something aside from PKs or an occasional cracker. We will need it.

On Keane, I've been impressed with his work rate in the few LA matches I've watched this season. Especially in their last MLS match (I think against SKC) Keane seemed to be one of the few LA guys interested in getting the ball off an opponent and setting something up offensively.
As an American and an NYCFC fan, the attitude of some of the. MCFC fans on here is sickening.
If you're looking for EPL quality football, look inwards. If you're going to hate on Frank because he is a Chelsea legend, then keep your opinion to yourself.
The Americans here seem to be NYCFC fans first. Too many others here look at NYCFC as a little brother that just signed a hated rival.

I've been pretty negative about EoS but this might almost make up for the NYCFC hate opinion piece they've posted before.
