Vuk starting at CB for this one? Sands and Callens will be away on international duty. Ibeagha no longer here.

make that Sands, Callens, Chanot and Gudi…

 

[Kjbert]

Tinnerholm and Morales? Gray?

While originally listed as being on the YES Network, the Yankees play at 7:05 PM EDT so this match will only be live on the YES App and ESPN+ (out of market)

It would have been live on YES had it been on Saturday as originally scheduled. When they moved it to Friday, now it's conflicting with the Yankees game.

 

[Gotham Gator]

I figure Gray would play CB with Morales, placing Tinnerholm and Malte at FB.

I suppose another possibility to pair with Morales is Tony Rocha, is he left footed? Gloster is left footed - not sure if he can play CB; maybe Gudi inside and Gloster outside? And there is also Vuk.

 

[VernonJohn]

Please don't play Rocha in the back.
Also,
At the beginning of the season did any figure a match against Nashville would be this significant...
A NYCFC win with an Orlando loss to Columbus takes us to second place with our following match against first place NE.

if we have any desire to be #1 in the east and/or the league, we have to be perfect from here on out and hope the revs drop points. So, every game is significant if that is the goal.

True. Just looking at the ability to keep a team ahead of you in the standings from getting points. Also, isn’t this Nashville’s second season and first full season?

Yes, second season and they are doing well. Much better than Miami. And due to scheduling quirks they played 44 MLS games in the same conference as NYCFC before playing NYCFC, and Miami played us 3 times so far.

 

[Kjbert]

game moved to accommodate USMNT I assume? Hoping we don’t play in poor weather and destroy the field Friday night

This... this is our first match against them EVER? wow.

Okay then, let’s go down there and stomp on them in their house and set a precedent.

Oh, I thought this one was at home lollll. That one's later in the season

 

[ALBNYfan]

Nashville will also be without 4: Walker Zimmerman (d), Alistair Johnston (d), Anibal Godoy(m), and Randall Leal(m) Three of which started last game and the one that didn't, Leal, was subbed on in the 59th minute and scored their second goal. All 4 have appeared in 13+ games this year.
