Isn't comeback player of the year for a player that was injured and overcame it in the best possible way?
MLS Cup Playoffs - November 30 - New England (Away)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
That's who it usually goes to, but it can also go to a player who struggled prior years and then had a tremendous season.
ooooooooh, I didn't know that! so basically our ben sweat award
Maybe????
I just don't remember Ben Sweat ever having anything resembling a tremendous season.
Oh, just referring to the prognostication thread where we hand out the award for a player who played above his contract heh.
Right - three regular season games between NYCFC and New England - 270 minutes ended up 5-5. Add another 120 minutes, and you get to 7-7.
Here's an interesting observation on the penalties.
We kicked 3 of 5 right down the middle against Matt Turner. That's an uncommon place to aim a spot kick. That has to be the result of some scouting suggesting that Turner leaves his spot and dives early.

Always keep in mind that post loss fan convos always look for a scapegoat and almost never just say the other team was better or outplayed them.
It's why teams hate on YS or astroturf or weather or in this case a long layoff.
It just hurts too much to say they weren't as good as they thought they were. (At least not last night anyway.)
This one fan going nuts spoke for, I think, all of us. Great job by the digi team to track Taty better than FOX was able to.
Also the reserves jumping over the boards -- then back again. Amazing.

ETA: Katie responded to me on Twitter. Though her name is on the photo set (maybe as editor?) this image, at least, came from a local USA Today photographer. Now I feel bad I told her that was my favorite.

So many good ones. I haven't stopped consuming NYCFC stuff all day. What a feeling.
gotta give props to rocha. not much has been said about him in any writeups i've seen. but the guy steps in with probably little to no warmup.. has barely played more than 10 mins the entire season.. and put in a solid performance in a huge game.
i hope we keep him on the squad when his contract expires. hopefully charlotte don't take him in the draft.

Is Gudi more excited that Callens scored the PK to secure the win?Lol. Great stuff.

Or is he more excited that Callens scored the PK so it means he didn't have to take one?
I still think Tajouri-Shradi is an expansion draft type of player.
yeah. what up with Tony? dude puts in such great effort and surprises me every time he gets on the field. I guess I should stop being surprised.
This makes me sad but I am starting to feel like I am in agreement.
don't think there's anything wrong with him. it's just that he's low on the depth chart in a position where we have a lot of depth. the guy works hard though and always puts in a solid shift in midfield. i would have liked to have seen him get a start against FCC or something with the congested schedule we had. but it is what it is.
we'll see what happens in the off season.. maybe he'll want to go somewhere and get more playing time? maybe he'll want to stay cause he loves the club? who knows. personally, i think the club should reasonably try to keep him when his contract expires
There was not. He was pumping his fist and yelling, but not a real Ronny Roar.
