Nothing we don't know in this paint by numbers article, but I guess it's notable any time we make the Guardian.

From Pirlo to no-go: what happened to New York’s era of foreign MLS megastars?

The Big Apple was once a natural stop for players like Frank Lampard and Thierry Henry. But Red Bulls and NYC FC have changed tactics

NYC FC bothers me way more than it should. But not quite as bad as N.Y.C.F.C.

Teen star Talles Magno ‘did not think twice’ about joining NYCFC

Over the past year, Talles Magno has been linked with super clubs Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Yet the Brazilian didn’t hesitate to join NYCFC.

“My game,” he said, “is a happy game.”

That's Dani Rojas level right there.

Ronny Deila: NYCFC's Talles Magno has potential to play for world's biggest teams | MLSSoccer.com

With all the focus on games coming thick and fast in MLS' regular season, NYCFC's big-money capture of Brazil youth international Talles Magno has almost flown under the radar. But NYCFC head coach Ronny Deila certainly isn't underselling his newest talent after the 18-year-old's reported $8...

It's this play that probably got him the next Neymar hype. Of course the new kid the mother ship signed is known as the left footed Neymar so he's got competition.

Takes some balls to pull that move off

I hope he doesn't try this here.

thumbs down!

 

[Antidote P. Smiley]

thumbs down!

Thumbs down as in if he tries it thumbs down or thumbs down on hoping he doesn’t try it.

As of now I’m thumbs up on doing it here.
If it’s an advantage freaking go for it! Being the rainbows!

 

[mgarbowski]

How about he just does it to guys like Felipe and Jozy.

 

[ManhattanValley]

I hope he doesn't try this here.

He should try this literally every possession he has. Straight from the kick-off, inside our own area, I don’t care. My season ticket money paid for this kid and I want my damn rainbow flicks.

 

[BxLio91]

I don't wanna be a boomer but I'll give up rainbow flicks IF the kid is good so that he stays healthy.

interesting stat:

"Though NYCFC don’t get as much credit for their attacking play under Ronny Deila as they did under Patrick Vieira and Dome Torrent, Deila lets his team go to work in the attacking half. No team in the Eastern Conference spends as much of their time in the attacking phase as NYCFC’s 10.29%."

One statistic that explains every MLS Eastern Conference team in 2021 so far | MLSSoccer.com

As the Seattle Sounders and Austin FC finished up their 0-0 draw on Sunday night, MLS officially began its multi-week break for the June international window.

makes it all the worse then that we don’t have a top end goal scorer on the team.

we have the 2nd best goal differential in the league. yes that has a lot to do with our defense and yes blowing out FCC helps with that. but we are scoring enough. and we just added two new attackers who will need time to assimilate and adjust to the league, team, etc.

i think signing a proven goal scorer would have been good for us, but i'm not against doing what we're doing either. higuain got shut out vs DC this past weekend. there are 2 other "proven" players on miami's team too, yet they got blown out... by DC. Having a "goal scorer" signing doesn't guarantee goals.

We are spreading out the goal scoring load, which I think is better than relying on a single player. Having more threats on the field means we are more difficult to defend and ultimately, more goals will be scored. We just boosted our attacking ranks and will need some time to get to full power.

This particular stat shows that we are attacking and not just passing around the back (which we did a lot of in the past) and that's a good thing. We just need to develop some attacking chemistry with our new players and the goals will come. also - if Maxi can actually regain some of his 2019 form because he's been terrible.

The list of strikers that have currently scored more than our striker:

• Chicharito
• Ruidiaz
• Pulido

That's it. Medina is ahead of Taty as well and I'm not including him here.

If we lack a proven scorer, than so do at least 24 other teams. I think this is another one of those things that fans of nearly every team think is an issue that their team has compared to others.

ETA: Both Pulido and Ruidiaz have played one extra game than Taty has.

Kind of disengenuous to count the FCC game.

Did the FCC game count towards the standings?

Should the Golden Boot standings have a curve that takes away goals in certain games.

You seem dedicated to taking the contrary position, on everything, as of late. Was this forum getting too boring for ya?
