Anyone can play left back.

I'm feeling pessimistic about this. With Philly's run in the CCL (in which they've been good) they should be significantly more match-sharp than we are.

If Medina Spirit wins the Kentucky Derby...does that mean our Medina does well?

We looked strong in the short time before the red card and it's tough to evaluate after that but... I foresee a lot of scoreless draws and losses ahead with 20 shots if we don't find someone who has a decent finishing ability.

Not a lot to take away with the Union on 3 days rest and us playing up a man for 75min... but are we at our best with 3 ATB? It allows Sands, Morales and Parks all to play.

Hopefully this team learns to finish and we’ll be ok at least.

Thórarinsson is so slow

Thanks again LionNYC for getting chat up. Today was a shit show at work.
Medina, wow what an improvement. Actually enjoy watching him play and his movement has been really good. Best start in club history?

 

[LionNYC]

The same way that the NYCFC internet community turned Pretty Pineapple into a thing let's bring Medina Spirit into a thing so that we get a photo op of Medina and Medina Spirit together.

That was a really good performance. We were dominating before the red card and never let up the pressure afterwards. Played them out of the park. That's a damn good team, even with them focused on CCL. To play like that on the road against a title contender, this team might be better than we thought. Taty, Medina, and Maxi all were awesome today.

Is it finally clicking for Medina? If so, we are going to be much better than we all thought this winter.

Always nice to have a point reinforced! Hope you’re enjoying the 3 points as much as I am. Have a nice day!

Is it weird that when maxi took some corners I thought, "ugh nah medina should take it" LMAO

Overall I enjoyed the game! The passing is getting a lot better, and every player did well (yeah up a man i know but still). Gudi wasn't the best out there but I don't think he performed terribly, except for a few times he got absolutely wrecked by whoever their right winger is lol.

I like the 3-ATB. It's really nice, and I think morales + parks had a really good shift in midfield this week.

Hoping for more good fortune!

What is the context around that? The whole Palmeiras saga? or something else?

Good call. My bad.

Probably. Also appreciated some of the other stuff with Taty, like how he jumped into the arms of the subs after the goal, how he stood up for Maxi after he got shoved and then further took the first opportunity for a stomp shortly thereafter.
